Here’s an image of Skye that you won’t see everyday, unless you live there and this is what makes it so brilliant, amongst other things.  The Old Man of Storr is but a dark pinnacle in the background, the sheep sheltering from the coming weather stealing the show.  All credit for this photo goes to Frank Heumann, who has been expressing his love and awe of Skye for over six years photographically.  For any of you interested in seeing the Isle of Skye as it is, click on the link provided.  For ‘absolutescotland’ and ‘kymali’ this is preparation for the day in the hopefully near future when you go there.  Feast your eyes on Frank’s incredible images and then tell me you are not in love with this island.

Remember that awesome pigeon/horse hybrid we recently posted? We just found another wonderfully weird mutant animal. Behold the Pandabird!

If our internet sleuthing hasn’t led us astray, this creature was created in 2006 by a Dutch artist named Adje.

We love his awesome style!

Many people go out of their way to avoid using cramped airplane bathrooms, but we just discovered someone who seeks them out for awesomely creative purposes:

To pass the time during long flights, artist Nina Katchadourian goes to the lavatory, adorns herself in tissue paper costume, and creates hilarious self-portrait photos in the style of Flemish Renaissance paintings. She calls the series Seat Assignment: Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style:

While in the lavatory on a domestic flight in March 2010, I spontaneously put a tissue paper toilet cover seat cover over my head and took a picture in the mirror. The image evoked 15th-century Flemish portraiture. I decided to add more images made in this mode and planned to take advantage of a long-haul flight from San Francisco to Auckland, guessing that there were likely to be long periods of time when no one was using the lavatory on the 14-hour flight. I made several forays to the bathroom from my aisle seat, and by the time we landed I had a large group of new photographs entitled Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style.
