A human has many features but to create something like this is truly amazing.
Jamie Salmonis a British born, Vancouver resident, contemporary sculptor. He specialises in photorealistic sculpture, utilizing materials such as silicone rubber, fibre glass, acrylic and human hair.
Jackie K. Seo is a Korean born, Vancouver resident, contemporary, sculptor. She says “In each work I like to capture those reflective moments,where we can have so many mixed emotions. Nowadays, we are feeling more and more isolated from each other, although we have more ways to communicate than we ever had before”
Every piece of work that is created in the studio is the result of a painstaking, multi-stage process, that is both artistic and technical. It can take anywhere from several weeks to sometimes months to create a piece, depending on its complexity and scale.
I was watching an episode of Motorway patrol filmed in New Zealand tonight and it was reported that a truck drive driving along High way #6 missed a man lying in the middle of the road.
The cops then stated on film they would try and locate the male to firstly see if he was ok, then move him on.
They came across a shadowy figure on the road…… a man in dark clothing walking in the middle of the street trying to get home.
He was drinking and had a can in his hand at the time the cop showed up, they ask him " Why are you walking in the middle of the road????
He replies " I’m trying to get to (his home town) Can I have a lift home please? Instant from behind the camera a female voice firmly and quickly responded NO.
The male cop who approached him first then said " we arent going to (his home town)..
He stopped in at Hamilton Police station earlier that day after an officer told him to go there and ask for a lift home after being arrested two days earlier.
He asked for a lift home, they also refused, saying their were no STAFF going that way……. ( I don’t know about his back ground.)
The male officer then suggested to him that walking in the day time would be better… ..!!!! WTF.
The male then placed his can on the road and firmly but drunkly told the cop that he had a curfew given to him by the same lady standing to the side of him…for 10.30 that night to be at home.
He is then moved to the side of the road, the cop telling him to " come here come here…" the man then replies " don’t come here to me." which I thought was a good come back.
He gave him 3 options :
1) Your NOT walking home tonight…
2) we arent going to leave you on the side of the road…so what are we going to do?????
The man then states that he has walked " Half the F#@@ing way…..
and then…
the cop said we could lock you up for dishordialy conduct… what the… and for what??? trying to get home.!! Apparently walking home in the dark in the middle of the road is against the law and his understandable behavior.
He is then arrested on the spot.
On the way to the station he is repeatingly asking to be taken home and they just laughed at him.
The cop then stated that " The means in which he tried to go home was a danger to his life"…
He then told him to wait till the morning and catch a bus… for gods sake.
I cant wait to have smaller government.. please everyone join the Free State Project to have Liberty in our Lifetime…while we still can…..
A couple intimate love position or nine (small & black) dolphins….
You saw a couple in an intimate love position, right?
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.
What they will see, however, is nine (small & black) dolphins in the picture!
So, I guess we’ve already proven you’re not a young innocent child. Now, if it’s hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is SO corrupted that you probably need help!
OK, here’s help: look at the space between her right arm and her head, the tail is on her neck, follow it up. Look at her left hip, follow the shaded part down, it’s another one, and on his shoulder..
Guess Im not a young innocent child…
Remember those chairs your parents used to take to the beach or to BBQ, well now they make couches. Aussie Couch comfortably fit 2 adults or 3 children.
They are made from rust proof aluminum and fold up just like the chairs.
Went to log in to twitter today and I receive a message saying..
Twitter is over capacity.
Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.
Surely such a popular social network such as twitter doesn’t have a maximum capacity??
After a quick Google search it looks as though twitter is suffering from exponential growth.
However it appears that powerful competitors offering free services similar to twitter such as FriendFeed, SecondBrain will benefit from Twitter’s current technical problems.
Not to mention that Jaiku, was recently acquired by (powerhouse) Google, and are slowly building up its membership on an invitation-only basis. Jaiku has some similarities with Twitter but being google they will inevitably add on other gadgets to make the platform better and better.
The end is near for twitter? I hardly think so, with the amount of revenue these social networks are making from there advertising. It would be hard to imagine a world with no twitter.
This has to be one of the most coolest ideas that I have heard in a long time.
Its perfect, just sell everything you own and start fresh somewhere else. Ian Usher is the man behind selling his life and here is a short bit of whats going on from the man him self.
Auction Ends on 29th June 2008 at Midday 05 days, 21 hours, 49 minutes and 25 seconds to go!
At noon on Sunday 29th June 2008 I am going to depart this life, live online!
Hi there, my name is Ian Usher, and I have had enough of my life! I don’t want it any more! You can have it if you like!
No, I’m not contemplating suicide, I am going to sell my life!! I have my reasons, for further details click the "Why" tab below. However, I am still not sure whether this is inspired madness, complete foolishness, or just some sort of mid-life crisis.
Whatever it is, it’s all going up for sale in one big auction. Everything I have and everything I am. On the day it is all sold and settled I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all, and get on the train, with no idea where I am going or what the future holds for me.
Reading through the comments and questions, it seems many people don’t like the idea but many would also give it a go.
I personally have to many favorite things and couldn’t do it. but good luck to him.
Ian Usher’s website will be updated with what he is doing after the sale of his life.
