Splatter art without the mess
Last day of NaBloPoMo and QAM, so now it's time to make some art yourself. When you click, it'll be a blank page.....but move your mouse around. Click and watch what happens....move faster or slower. Having fun yet? ;-)
Make Your Own Splatter Art
Posted by JessiMore Mother Nature -- Pictures from the Sky
Posted by JessiAnd this time, I'm not even going to give samples of the pictures. They should be viewed as the larger pictures that you can see here, so just clicky the link and skedaddle on over.
500 Posts -- Still Quirking it Up
Posted by JessiOh wow, that just sounds awful, haha. Unfortunately, it's already in the lyrics, so you'll just have to deal with the horrible-ness of "quirking" now being a word. Yikes. But yeah, the Time Lapse Wonders post was my official 500 mark.
If you aren't familiar with the original "500 Miles," here's the flashback for you first.
When I log on, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the chick who logs on just for you
When I'm searchin', yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the chick who's searchin' things for you
And If I Stumble, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the chick who Stumbles all for you
And if I quirk-out, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the chick who's quirking next to you
But I would write 500 posts
And I would write 500 more
To be the chick who wrote those thousand posts
Of quirkiness to explore.....
Time-Lapse Wonders -- Mother Nature
Posted by JessiMother Nature has quite the abundance of artistic works, too, and I can't possibly capture that all in one post. This post of videos, though, is quite the collection of time-lapses.....videos taken of a specific spot and then fast forwarded so you can see how the day/event/etc occurred rather quickly. Here are a couple examples:

(Maybe these will create beautiful lawns that will be trimmed in a way that becomes artistic?)


Intricate Penny Art

Love the penny art mentioned in yesterday's post? Have some more! This time, with instructions and step-by-step pictures of how to build your own on some of them. You'll find quarters, nickels, and even poker chips in the mix, too.
10 Works of Art to Make When You're Bored
Posted by Jessi
Well I don't know how many of these you would actually want to create on your own. Something about implanting an ear into your arm (#2 on the list) doesn't exactly scream "Ooo, me, me! I wanna do that!" For someone it did, though, so maybe you're next.
Others are at least fun to look at, though. We've talked about weird fruit art before (and recently there was some melon art), but there's some more discussed there (#3). Beware. I do believe that lemon is peeing....
And while I'm warning you, #10 on the list isn't exactly appropriate for here, so consider before linking if you're easily offended by naked balloons.
The rest on the list are highly intricate works using simple things like pennies, scrap tires, plastic spoons, or scotch tape, but if you're really, really bored and have enough time on your hands, I bet you could have fun!

Weird Statues and Sculptures Around the World

I found another site with more really cool art installed around the world. Here are some examples from that one:




Light Graffiti

Creepy Mouth Eye Pictures
Posted by JessiI'm showing you some examples to entice you to go over there, but I don't have "express permission" from the site. And from my experience, waiting around to get permission from sites to post one or two pictures and sending people over to the rest.....takes forever or never happens. I'm giving them free traffic. It's free advertising. If they don't want the samples posted here, hopefully they'll let me know via email and I'd be happy to remove them.
Anywho, expect to find Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton, Shrek, Tyra, a couple adorable babies, and many, many more creepy/beautiful pictures.


Are humans better?
Posted by Jessi


No animals? No bugs? How about humans? Okay, well not 'really' humans....just x-rays of humans. You can handle that, right? :) Lots more at the link.

Custom Creature Carcass Art
Posted by Jessi
Yes, you read that correctly. It's taxidermy "art" and some of it is really interesting, despite what it's created out of. Some of you may be offended by this or simply grossed out, but there are several things that are no more "disgusting" than a rabbit's foot "good luck charm" or a mounted deer head that people possess.
And well, others might really throw you off, so if this isn't your type of thing, I wouldn't suggest browsing for long or you might hold it against me personally. :P
Above, you have "Punk Rock Head" and below is "See No Evil."

Struggling with Nanowrimo?
Posted by JessiFor all you Nanowrimos out there attempting to write 50k words this month, Fairyhedgehog found a nifty little tool: Write or Die. Put in your goal amount of writing for the session, and if you stop writing before you reach it, these are some of the consequences:
- Gentle Mode: A certain amount of time after you stop writing, a box will pop up, gently reminding you to continue writing.
- Normal Mode: If you persistently avoid writing, you will be played a most unpleasant sound. The sound will stop if and only if you continue to write.
- Kamikaze Mode: Keep Writing or Your Work Will Unwrite Itself
National Pickle Day -- Will you celebrate?
