Skydive From Space: Felix Did It!!

Over 8 million people watched Felix step off that capsule and hurtle through the sound barrier and into the record books.
His records:

Highest manned balloon flight: 24.261miles (39.045km)
Fastest freefall: 1342 km/h or 834mph (Mach 1.24)
He was in freefall for 4 minutes and 19 seconds, missing out on the record by 17 seconds still held by Joe Kittinger.

Matthew Davis Pooled Oil Paintings

Berlin-based artist Matthew Davis creates these surreal images by using his brush to slowly drip oil paints into small pools. After each color dries over a period of several days a new layer is added resulting in a dense, multi-dimensional surface.

Shadows by Joe Pease

The predatory Bird presents this fantastic short by Joe Pease presenting an entirely unique way of seeing skateboarding. The title supposedly is inspired by this essay on Peter Pan. I'm sure the big wigs and fat cats will get their greasy mits all over this concept before too long and rape it of all it's worth. Remember Joe did it first!

Chaos and ruin. Technological trends corrupting. Deformation, anatomical abnormalities, degradation and displacement. Whether related to the human body and spirit or the human environment, it is the 'anti' utopia.

Amazing Surreal Photo-manipulation by Sarolta Ban

Sarolta Bán, a 27 years old female artist from Budapest, Hungary. She makes the most amazing surreal photo-manipulation artworks. “I’m not so good in talking about myself.. I prefer the pictures ‘talk’” she claims. I agree with her, it is best to let the artwork tell its story then putting it into contest and preventing those who enjoy it from reaching their own conclusions!

Sarolta explains her technique: “I like using ordinary elements and by combining them, I can give them various stories, personalities. I hope that the meanings of my pictures are never too limited, are open in some way, each viewer can transform them into a personal aspect. So I’m happy if different people find different meanings in my images.”

The beauty of her photography lays exactly in creating scenes that look like they are out of this world, a complete release from any experience that you might have from the real world. So, release yourself from your daily stress and worries and enjoy these beautiful surreal photos.

Maura Holden - Tripping?

"In a dense phosphorescent fog, I have been searching for things which can never be found: the journals of Adam and Eve; a photographic record of the cities of the interior; a map charting the soul’s disasters and renewals; the keys to locked dimensions; the point at the centre of everything ..."








"My paintings are a residue of this effort. But they are only shells, fossil imprints around the things I truly meant to give existence to – those lost moments when my identity fell to the ground like a torn dress, and I moved through non-human spheres with X-ray vision and a compound mind, seeing and being all of those impossible things."

As real as some of these might look, they are oil on linen and oil on board pieces.


Jeremy Geddes spends his days trying to get some painting done, in between jumping around with his air guitar, drinking coffee and playing video games. When he puts down the controller, sighs heavily and mutters 'Right, i've got to get some work done.' His dog Colin usually wants to go for a walk.
