Kevin here with some of the coolest creations from extraordinary people.

BUILD IT
Lionel Buckett is building a Luxury retreat into a cliff top cave.
Located near Sydney Australia the finished work will feature a running waterfall, spa,
and even a bar.
The cave will be finished in a few months and it will offer tours of the local rainforest
as well as provide an excellent site for photo shoots and film making.
Michael Warren made a glowing table.
By mixing photoluminescent powder into clear resin and then pouring it over damaged wood
he creates the appearance of a bioluminescent table.
And he setup a page on Instructables explaining exactly how he made it.
Former special effects artist Kazuhiro Tsuji creates life-like portraits of famous people.
The busts are built to two times life size, and are constructed with a variety of materials
including resin and silicon.
Each piece takes him up to four months to make, and he says he likes to create them
with a neutral expression so that viewers are left wondering what each figure might
be thinking.
DRAW IT
Nathan Shields creates portraits with pancakes.
The Math teacher from Washington uses 12oz wide-mouth squeeze bottles to make his Saipaincakes.
Which originated during a trip with his kids to Saipan.
And he’s used batter for portraits ranging from Martin Luther King and Leonardo Da Vinci
to Angry Birds and The Hobbit.
Davit Yukhanyan creates surrealist images that house hundreds of smaller drawings.
He’s an architect in Armenia that draws in his spare time and the smaller illustrations
contribute to the narrative of the main picture.
And they explore themes of the subconscious, dreams and lobster.
And for now the hand-painting illusions of Luca Luce…
Sergio Odeith makes murals that appear burst off the walls in 3-D.
The Portuguese artist has been spray-painting street art for decades and his anamorphic
style creates an optical illusion on 90 degree corners.
But if you’re not in Lisbon to see his work in person you can find prints on his website.
