Fish Delivery (3 фото)
Fish being delivered to a pet store. The fish is placed in small baggies but the baggies each had their own compartment in a styrofoam insert that fit in the box and contain several unchilled ice packs that help to maintain a good temperature within the box. The blue color is from a combination of a light tranquilizer, stress coat, and a medication to help prevent the fish from getting sick.

Awesome Moments (50 фото)
While I hate to use the word "precious" when describing anything related to children, there's just no other way to describe these illustrations by Pascal Campion. The San Francisco-based illustrator and animator makes us stop and appreciate the fleeting moments in life - the kind that pass us by in the blink of an eye. As a first time mom, these illustrations seem to take on a whole new meaning. You can tell that this French-American illustrator finds inspiration in his own family life. As he says on his website, "Sometimes it’s being at the supermarket or giving a bath to my daughter and she looks at me and smiles. It lasts for a second, but the memory of it stays with me for a long time. These are the things that interest me the most."

These Photos Look Kinda Fishy (7 фото)
What do most people do with fish they bring home from the market? If you’re normal you’d probably gut it and eat. (Actually if you’re really normal you buy that stuff pre-cut so you don’t ever have to look at their cold dead eyes staring back at you.) If you’re… not so normal like Paris based artist Anne-Catherine Becker-Echivard, you might make a weird-ass photo series of fish working on assembly lines or in laboratories. The series is called “Les Temps Modernes” (Modern Times in English) probably because in these modern times no one’s going to question your sanity for doing something like dressing up little fishies and taking pictures of them.

The Cutest Little Kitten Turns into a Mini-Lion (5 фото)
The long-haired Persian (seen left) is now one and half years old and she's undergone a dramatic change. Despite daily brushings, Daisy's fur would get lots of clumps that were too close to her skin to properly cut off. On the advice of his vet, Torode decided that Daisy needed a haircut. Not just any haircut, of course, but one that had tons of personality!

Adorable Series of Babies Sucking on Lemons for the Very First Time (12 фото)
Starting to make its way around the web is this incredibly adorable series called Pucker of babies sucking on lemons for the very first time. Photographer David Wile captured the babies' priceless expressions which will make you do everything from purse your own lips to laugh out loud. Wearing just a bib on top and set against a blue background, the babies really show all of their emotions. Of course, it's safe to say that no babies were harmed in this production. In fact, some even seemed to enjoy the sensory shocking experience! If you'll remember, David Wile is the same photographer who was behind Splash, the fun photo series documenting the hilarious expressions of people and animals who got a bucket of water poured on their heads. My guess is that he loves seeing authentic reactions.

Meet China’s Watermelon Kids (7 фото)
Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku is reporting on a recent trend in China where parents are amusingly dressing their young children in costumes made of hollowed out watermelon rinds. The “Watermelon Kids” craze is all done in fun, of course, although Ashcraft warns that wearing watermelons for a long time could be dangerous because it could “breed germs and bacteria.” Now even some grown-ups are joining in with their own fruit rind costume creations. We previously posted about another Chinese meme, Dogs Wearing Pantyhose.

Incredible 388-Year-Old Bonsai Tree Survived Hiroshima Blast (4 фото)
If trees could talk, this bonsai (known in some circles as Hiroshima Survivor) would have a lot of stories to tell. The 388-year-old Japanese plant has seen its share of events, good and bad. Perhaps most remarkable, though, is the fact that it survived the atomic bomb that devastated Hiroshima in 1945. Located on the Yamaki family compound, less than 2 miles from where the bomb exploded, the white pine was miraculously safe from harm as shards of glass exploded through the property because of the blast. Luckily, the tree was unharmed and the Yamaki family didn't suffer any permanent injuries. First planted in 1625 and originating on Miyajima Island, the bonsai is said to be a valuable tree due to its rarity. Back in 1976, the bonsai master Masaru Yamaki gifted the ornamental tree to the American people as part of Japan's Bicentennial. It is now a permanent resident of the Japanese Bonsai Collection at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum in Washington DC. Coupled with its rich history of survival, the bonsai (the oldest in the collection) attracts many visitors to its new home in America.

Cosmic Photos of Planets Crafted in Ordinary Cooking Pans (6 фото)
Rome-based artists Matteo Gallinelli and Giuliano Antonio Lo Re have a collaborated on a visual project titled Pan Planets that features realistic images of four major planets—Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus)—as well as the moon and the sun. Despite seeming like a satellite or telescopic image, each astronomical figure is actually a composition of ordinary materials in a pan. Using a crafty combination of water, ink, dust, and coloring along with a clever lighting setup, the duo transforms average skillets into cosmic orbs full of texture and mystery. Each faux celestial body in the series is also accompanied by some facts about its respective formation, terrain, and known history.

The Internet Is Going To Explode: Cat Donuts (3 фото + 1 видео)
I don’t need to explain the Internet’s obsession with cats. You’re here, therefore you’re in the know. Let’s move on…to donuts. They are everywhere. From fast foods sandwiched in between two of them to the strange cronut hybrid, donuts have taken the spotlight off of cupcakes (thank goodness for that). Combine the two favorites and you get something that might cause the entire world wide web to explode. Inspired by a popular anime series called One Nya Hup, these sweet kitties are adorable and probably very delicious. Unfortunately, they are only going to be available in Japan. For now.

Dog Does Yoga With Owner (1 видео)
This is a video of Panchino the chihuahua doing yoga poses in sync with his person. It’s pretty adorable. And, if you’re me, a little enraging. Why can’t my dogs do cute stuff so I can post videos of them on the internet? But noooo, every time I bring the camera out, my dogs gotta be all weird and do gross stuff. One’s licking his privates, the other’s dragging her ass across the carpet… don’t they have any ambition of YouTube success? Clearly they don’t. But sometimes Einstein will roll over for a treat. So there’s that, I guess? Ah, who am I kidding — I’m just grasping for straws here!

Lost Egyptian City Discovered Beneath The Sea After 1,200 Years (15 фото + 1 видео)
If we told you a story of an ancient city, some 1,200 years old, that has been devoured by the foreboding Mediterranean Sea and entombed under a tons of mud, rock and sand – you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the opening passage to a Disney fairytale. But this is one story that isn’t fantasy, in fact you could say it truly is the stuff of dreams. Originally called ‘Heracleion’ by the Greeks but named ‘Thonis’ by the ancient Egyptians, the existence of the mythical city was confirmed to be true when in 2000, Dr. Frank Goddio (an underwater archaeologist) made one of the most important discoveries of the 21st century.

Glamour Photographs That Will Leave You Speechless (22 фото)
Before you read on, remember that ‘Glamour’ is defined as follows: ‘The quality of fascinating, alluring, or attracting, especially by a combination of charm and good looks.’ It’s safe to say that term applies rather loosely to the following collection of 22 photographs. Although admittedly they aren’t quite as confounding as 38 Of The Most Unexplainable Images On The Internet but they are potentially just as cringeworthy. The question is, are they wonderful parodies taken in jest? Or slightly misguided works of art? The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. After all, it’s a fine line between comic genius and insanity isn’t it? Do let us know your favourites!

In Tempo Skysraper in Spain. What a Fail (25 фото)
This story is hard to believe but it was featured in major US and European magazines, so I believe it's true. At 47 stories, the In Tempo skyscraper in Spain is set to be the tallest residential building in the European Union. There is just one problem... There is no elevator on floors 21 through 47. The builders simply forgot to build it. The In Tempo building was originally planned to have only 20 stories. Wanting more tenants and buyers, the client asked that the building be enlarged. So the architect simply added 27 stories -- without adapting the elevator shaft and lifting machinery accordingly. Unbelievably, the oversight supposedly wasn't spotted until January 2012 when the building was almost ready.

Mountain Villa on Top of Apartment Block (10 фото)
In a bizarre display of selfish hubris, an eccentric Chinese professor in Beijing turned his little attic home at the top of a 26-story apartment building into a virtual mountaintop penthouse. Over the course of 6 years, he brought up all the rocks and building material he needed to construct a mountain around his home and add balconies and landscaping.
All without permission, of course.

Breaking Bad Characters as Chemical Diagrams (10 фото)
In anticipation of the return of AMC's Breaking Bad for the second half of its final season, Shutterstock analytically assembled "chemical diagrams" to represent significant characters from the show. The graphic series that the blog calls Bad Chemistry: The Character Elements of Breaking Bad features nine of the show's most prominent characters, from high school chemistry teacher-turned-meth cook Walter White and his former student-turned-sidekick Jesse Pinkman to fast food chain owner and drug kingpin Gus Fring. The clever minds behind the diagrams have used the show's thematic design choice of abbreviating words like chemical elements found in the periodic table to concoct their own skeletal models of each person's chemical makeup. Like a bunch of Heisenbergs, each chart the blog produced is a unique "Blue Sky" that reflects character virtues and flaws, accompanied by a quote and a few significant icons.

Makeup Artist Transforms Herself Into Pop Culture Icons (14 фото)
Self-taught makeup artist Carly Paige transforms herself into various pop culture icons. There are no limitations to her list of subjects as she tackles all shapes, forms, ages, races, and genders. From Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson to Michael Jackson and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, the Montreal-based creative manages to reproduce the image of some of the world's biggest celebrities with her raw talent and a few stylish wigs. Paige thoroughly researches each of her subjects, saying, "I spend a while studying at least three different shots of someone. One for their face shape, one for their make-up or style, and one for their expression. Kim Kardashian's expression was really funny to try to perfect." Though, she admits, "Some are really difficult, especially if I have to paint detail on my eyes or if my face shape is different. Still, once I've decided on one, I spend ages trying to get it right. It is rare that I give up on one like that." It's hard to believe that the 26-year-old only began artistically challenging herself with this personal special effects makeup project in October 2012. She continues to perfect her craft in the hopes of working on films. In the meantime, she works at Sephora, playing with potential materials for her next transformation.

Blending Iconic Faces From the Past and Present (6 фото)
Then and Now is a powerful collection of mash-ups by photographer and graphic designer Marc Ghali. In the series, the Canada-based photographer creatively blends old black and white photographs with sections of colorful, modern images. He perfectly arranges the new and old fragments so that, upon quick glance, viewers might believe they are looking at just one subject. However, each compilation features two faces representing the past and the present. The subjects are often related in regards to professions, ranging from singers and actors to historical leaders. Some of the mash-ups include Rihanna and Diana Ross, Brad Pitt and James Dean, and two British princesses, Kate and Diana. It appears that Ghali really has an eye for matching faces as the many similarities are quite striking. The artist says, "I wanted to do something fun creatively. I was inspired by a series [by George Chamoun] called Iconatomy, and wanted to draw on parallels between influential figures pasts and present in an interpretative way." It's certainly fascinating to see how the world really hasn't changed much across so many decades of time.

This is What 24 Hours in New York Look Like in Just One Picture (9 фото)
Taking a picture usually involves capturing a single moment, a motionless fragment of time. However, New York-based photographer Stephan Wilkes has managed to capture the passage of time in a single photograph. His “Day to Night” photo series explores the many changes that take place in Stehphan’s beloved city of New York as it transitions from day to night. Completing this project took great dedication on Wilkes’ part. He had to actually stakeout the city in one spot for approximately 15 hours for each composite photograph. He had to take hundreds of pictures of the Big Apple and its most famous places and then spend 4 months picking out 30 to 50 suitable ones. The selected photos then had to be blended into one composite image that reflected the changes that took place in that location between sunrise and sunset. By creating this photography project, the artist expressed his fondness and love for his hometown. Thanks to his dedication, the photographer brought seemingly surreal photographs to life and filled them with movement, vitality and the passage of time. Wilkes’ “Day to Night” series proves, once again, that New York City is the city that never sleeps. Also, be sure to check out the time lapse series by Fong Qi Wei. Singapore-based photographer captures the passage of time in visually beautiful layered collages.

Vegetable Silverware Designs That Look Real Enough to Eat (4 фото)
Boring, white plastic silverware is old news to artist Qiyun Deng. Recently, the innovative product designer developed a collection of environmentally-friendly, but still disposable, silverware and serving bowl concepts that look just like everyday plants and vegetables. The series, entitled Graft, features objects constructed out of bioplastic PLA, a material pulled from renewable sources like vegetable fats and oils. Graft was produced as part of Deng's diploma project at the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne in Switzerland and it is strongly inspired by nature. The artist crafted forks, spoons, and knives that blend nature together with manmade objects that we use everyday. Although the shapes mimic vegetables, they are designed to properly function as utensils. The handle of the fork looks just like a stalk of celery and the handle of the spoon looks just like a carrot. Deng asks, "By waking both visual and haptic sensation it brings along a question: Will you throw them away easily?"
