(via my darkened eyes) Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin | Colossal - StumbleUpon First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural.

Surreal Paintings Cloak People in Landscapes Berlin, Germany-based artist Moki finds inspiration in Japanese artist Hayao Miyazaki's work (Spirited Away) as well as in nature. Her acrylic paintings are filled with images of northern landscapes or as she describes more specifically as "isolated Scandinavian and Icelandic terrain, a subarctic frozen lake continent, untouched caves and moss meadows, and mountains sculpted into anatomical shapes by wind and water." Moki merges humans with nature, cloaking them in lush green meadows or a calm sea of water. When asked why she combines humans with nature, Moki said, "The beings disappearing in my paintings illustrates the state of mind when you cannot distinguish between you and the other, that feeling of awareness for what surrounds you.

Sa maison vendue à son insu | André Dubuc Elle a eu un choc en allant payer son impôt foncier. À l'hôtel de ville, la préposée lui a dit que l'avis d'imposition avait déjà été entièrement payé et qu'elle n'était plus propriétaire de l'immeuble depuis octobre 2012. «Je n'ai plus de maison. Je vis encore dedans, mais elle n'est plus à mon nom, a dit au téléphone la dame qui ne souhaite pas être identifiée. Si je meurs demain, mon testament n'est plus valable. Les fraudeurs ont usurpé l'identité de la dame. «Ils ont même fait faire un changement d'adresse à Postes Canada pour mon courrier», dit-elle, découragée. Voici le modus operandi : deux fraudeurs, un pour le vendeur et un autre pour le faux acheteur, arrivent chez le notaire avec des fausses cartes dans le but de faire notarier la vente de la maison. La fraude est habituellement découverte quand le prêteur réclame le remboursement du prêt au supposé acheteur, victime lui aussi d'un vol d'identité. La police a confirmé l'ouverture d'une enquête sur la maison de Laval.
