Photorealistic Pictures Drawn With a BIC Pen EmailEmail At first sight they may look like some pretty sharp blue photographs, however all those pictures are actually hand drawn with a simple Bic ballpoint pen! Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas uses up to four 14p ballpoint pens to create his incredibly photorealistic drawings, measuring up to 10ft (3 meters) high. The use of penballs makes Juan’s drawings even more original, which certainly has played a big role in his way to success, and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions. His source of inspiration comes from his own photographs of nights out with his friends, so you can only imagine how wild his parties are, as half of his drawings include girls that forgot to put on their clothes.

Lady Gaga, Innovator or Copycat? We Dissect “Born This Way” Lady Gaga has a reputation as a wildly original trendsetter. But based on the evidence we found in “Born This Way,” she’s also a mega recycler of pop-culture history. Being connoisseurs of cool old stuff, we noticed that even her most outlandish imagery in the head-spinning video for “Born This Way” owes a great debt not only to Madonna’s “Express Yourself,” but also to works of science fiction, movie history, famous artworks, television, camp culture, and religious artifacts throughout the 20th century and beyond. Picking up where The Atlantic and Flavorpill left off, I enlisted my science-fiction nerd and film buff friends to help me do an even deeper dive of the inspirations for the video, most of which are crammed into the first two minutes. Watch the video here. 1. The pink triangle, worn upside down, was used in Nazi concentration camps during Word War II to identify gay prisoners. 2.

Anonymous Confessions As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas – but what if we could share with full discretion? Everyone of us has his own little secrets and ‘Confessions’, a public art project by american artist Candy Chang, invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip. Chang lived in Las Vegas for a month and turned her P3 Studio gallery into a contemplative place for people to share their confessions and being fascinated by the secrets others hide inside themselves. Inspired by Post Secret, Shinto shrine prayer walls, and Catholicism, people could write and submit their confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths.
