Photographer Tadao Cern blasted people’s faces with air and photographed the results. They are so awesome.

Brand Spirit is a tumblr that reduces mass marketed items to their purest form by painting them white, removing all visual branding.

Almost all are easily recognized.

Artists Lucie & Simon bring us Silent World which shows what landmarks would look like without people.

Absolutely amazing.

Julian Burford created food related icons for an iPhone app. They look amazing! Love the Oreo and the drip from the Heinz Beanz.

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.

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

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.

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:
