Booooooom & Adobe are teaming up with a photo contest where contestants remake famous works of art as photographs.

Some of the submissions are amazing. My personal favorites include “Café Terrace at Night” remake by Jonathan Pruc, “Creation of Adam” remake by Spencer Pidgeon, “Vase with 12 Sunflowers” remake by Qi Wei Fong, and “Automata” remake by Or Eitan.

Photographer Stephen Wilkes blended photographs together to depict one day in NYC.

Photographer Stephen Wilkes took pictures of the same spot in Manhattan for 10 hours.

He then blended the thirty to fifty individual images together to make seamless collages showing some of the city’s most famous landmarks from day to night.

I think the Flatiron Building is my favorite.

There’s a replica of a WWI biplane on a roof in Manhattan.

Though Kaufman delights in onlookers wondering if a plane did indeed fly in and land on 77 Water Street, the aircraft is actually just an artistic re-imagining of a 1916 British Sopwith Camel, designed by Rudolph de Harak and constructed by sculptor William Tarr. It was hoisted into place by crane in 1969 and hasn’t moved since.

I love how it now looks almost like a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean.

Eric Wedum draws headlines:

Each weekday I find a headline on a major news site, and illustrate it without reading a word of the story.

Outstanding.

Artist Brian Stuckey made a sculpture called “The Last Breakfast” which includes some favorite cereal mascots in a familiar setting.

I suddenly have a craving for Capt’n Crunch.

Christopher Jonassen takes pictures of the bottoms of pans, making them look like planets.

Irina Werning takes photos of people reenacting photos from their childhood (one of the photos is NSFW).

I love how she even got the classic camera colors and feel on the updated photos.

Artist Dalton Ghetti makes sculptures in pencil lead (OK, pencil graphite). The Times profiled his work in 2007.

So small, and so well detailed. I think the saw or the key is my favorite.

An artist is using a guerrilla campaign to promote subway etiquette.

On nail clipping:

Under no circumstance is the Subway the right place for this. [...]  It’s crazy that this even needs to be mentioned.

Juan Pablo Bravo brings us a comparison of Pixar character sizes.

A study looked at the portion size of 52 paintings of the last supper (painted between 1000 and 1700’s) and found they are getting bigger. Professor Brian Wansink, who lead the research:

“We think that as art imitates life, these changes have been reflected in paintings of history’s most famous dinner.”

Artist Jeremy Dean converted a Hummer into a horse drawn cart. Quite possibly the best use of a Hummer I’ve seen, however, the passengers sit inside and are therefore deprived of the open-air cart experience. It’d be good in the rain, though.

Artist Mark Bennett had made blueprints of fictional homes including Ricky & Lucy Ricardo, Bruce Wayne, and Wilma & Fred Flintstone.

A little more than a year ago, artist Christopher Niemann gave us a wonderful set of photographs of New Yorkisms made with Lego. Now comes word that he’s expanded on the original idea and made a book out of his creations.

Already ordered.

Martin Wilson shoots film in sequence so that when contact sheets are made, art appears.

My favorite is Look Both Ways.
