quote "My creative impulse is driven by a fascination with childhood paraphernalia: dolls, toys, fairy tales, stage sets, fun fairs, found objects mixed with whimsy. These personal recollections are complimented by the cultural heritage of Victoriana, vintage fashion, film iconography, pin-up imagery etc. We cannot escape the past and our sweet yesterdays, whether imagined or real, are my repository".

Eric Fortune Artwork
quote [Lyrical, haunting, yet poignant at the same time, Eric Fortune’s paintings make lasting impressions. These are characters who are neither out of place in the world, nor at home in it — they are characters wrapped in their own worlds. The emotionally complex metaphors Fortune paints are richly evocative. His imagery is quiet yet dynamic, and seasoned with a touch of surrealism that takes us to captivating places, beyond our everyday experience but filled with truth].

quote [I hate meeting new people and getting involved in engaging conversations. Despise good food and wine. Living abroad sucked, and I don't miss it. Abhor well-written and enlightening literature. Love all forms of fundamentalists and their irrational faith. Hate the beach, fires in the fire pit, and autumn colors/smells/weather. Being surrounded by people I love really pisses me off. Motorcycles - you know, that whole freedom and wind thing... yeah, an odious experience. Animals are for kicking, not petting. And anything intellectually enrapting is for idiots. In fact, book-burners should be made saints; that library in Alexandria deserved to become a pile of ash. Cemeteries are ugly, and so are forests, rivers, deserts, canyons, seas, and sunsets. Sex is terrible, and cuddling is for pussies. Comfort is far and away better than truth. Beautiful women make me nauseous. And sarcasm, sarcasm is stupid. As is alliteration].

Webdriver Torso: YouTube mystery
quote [On 23 September 2013 at 14:45, YouTube user Webdriver Torso quietly uploaded a video.
The mysterious 11-second sequence of red and blue rectangles could easily have been lost, unexplained and unappreciated among YouTube's plethora of kittens and music videos.
But 28 minutes later Webdriver uploaded an almost identical video, and another an hour after that, and another, until eight months later - apparently happy with nearly 80,000 clips - they fell silent, with 236 hours of video to their name.
Almost all of the uploads follow the same pattern - 10 slides, each
with a red rectangle, a blue rectangle and a computer-generated tone.
The shapes change size and the notes change pitch. Each video appears to be unique, but the format stays the same].

Celebrities as Monsters and the "Flashed Face Distortion Effect"
Watch this video while staring at the cross in the center, and you'll see celebrities become monsters right before your eyes.
This is an incredible optical illusion called Flashed Face Distortion Effect that was discovered by Sean Murphy an undergraduate student at the University of Queensland.
Here’s a brief intro from Matthew Thompson, this is part of a research project by Matthew Thompson which investigates how the brain compares and exaggerates the differences between two faces when they're briefly flashed up on screen alongside each other.

Interactive Chart of Biblical Contradictions
In 2009, graphic designer Andy Marlow used Harrison’s work as his inspiration to created a similar visual for Sam Harris‘ Reason Project. This time, though, he only included arcs representing contradictions in the Bible.
Now, computer programmer Daniel G. Taylor has taken all that data and turned it into a visual masterpiece.
His website, BibViz (Bible Visualization), gives you the same linking arcs as before, but when you hover over one of them, it lights up and tells you in the upper right-hand corner of the screen which verses are being linked together. Click on an arc and it takes you directly to those verses as compiled in the Skeptics Annotated Bible]
