Kevin here with some of the coolest creations from extraordinary people.
This is BiDiPi.
Build it.
The Smith Mansion in Wyoming is a one-of-a-kind log structure built by hand by one guy.
Francis Lee Smith spent over 12 years building the 75 foot high mansion without any blueprints
and he actually died from a fall during its construction.
Abandoned for over 20 years a preservation project is currently trying to restore the
incredibly unique house.
Klaus Kemp is the only living practitioner of diatom arrangement.
Diatom are microscopic single-cell algae that create glass shells around themselves.
Although popular during the Victorian period none of these professional microscopists passed
down their techniques.
So Kemp spent eight years researching different glue to perfectly arrange diatoms.
And he’s constantly searching for new specimens to meticulously and obsessively build into
arrangements.
Draw it.
Phil Hansen made a portrait of Nikola Tesla by drawing with electricity.
Hansen developed permanent nerve damage after an obsession with pointillism and now utilizes
his jittery hands to constantly reinvent ways to make his art.
Including creating Jimi Hendrix out of 7,000 matches or Chuck Norris with paintballs.
SharpWriter creates over-the-top U.S. presidential portraits blending sci fi, mythology, and
history.
The exaggerated depictions draw amplify their personalities such as FDR’s wheelchair becoming
a Transformer, JFK hunting aliens on the moon or Ronald Reagan riding a raptor.
Because he did that.
Getting a head start on Halloween here's some spooky art from Billy Ludwig.
Evil Vinyl is a passion project by animation studio A Large Evil Corporation - transforming
cult classic icons into vinyl toys.
Including, David Brent from The Office, Spinal Tap and The IT Crowd.
Personally, I really love Ted, Jack and Dougal from Father Ted.
