I love a good list! Especially a list that shows some rather gruesome images that make you want to shout “Eeeeerrrrrggghhhhh!!” and pull all your other workmates from around the office to gather around your screen…

Here are my highlights…

Tongue Splitting…

Corneal Tattoing

Also check out pearling (Close your eyes guys NSFW!).

Nick Veasey loves a good x-ray. in fact, he makes a living from x-ray’ing anything he can lay his hands on. His work with insects are my favorite…

Invertebrates become spineless wonders as they are given the x-ray treatment.

X-ray was invented to look at bones, but creatures with no bones take on another dimension.



These creatures share the same earth as us but have alien looking internal

parts. The images elevate the insects from scary to outright frightening!

This awesome looking water scultpure is actually mostly made from solid material. The center is made from acrylic with water cascading down the sides giving the illusion of being a free standing block of water. Take a look at the video to see it in all its full motion glory. Its currently located outside Seaham Hall, Sunderland, here in the UK.

Im sure you’ve all noticed a distinct lack of updates over the past couple of weeks. Well, there are several personal reasons for this. None of which are very interesting at all.

The main reason was the development of quite a large freelance project that i am involved in which has finally now been completed. Hooray!

So…business as usual at about:blank…

Apparently the Namibians are quite strick about rogue peeing. The picture is taken in a place called Walvis Bay. Not going there for my holiday! (I like to have the freedom to pee wherever and whenever thank you very much!)

Not being from the US, the election process can seem like a bit of a complex process. I mean. how else was Bush going to get in i suppose? This great video from Common Craft attempts to explain this political mumbo jumbo for the likes of me and 95% of western civilisation….

Apparently, Pussy contains “a blend of fresh white grape juice from Southern Italy, pressed
Mexican limes and lightly carbonated water. These are then mixed with
Grenadilla and Lychee flavours, infused with six selected botanical
herbs.”

So there! Not the taste you would normally expect!

Being both a designer and lover of meat i couldnt resist showing you this great font…the Packed Meat Font.

Each letter is made from raw mince beef. Its hand shaped, packed then individually photographed…

It was created by Rob Bolesta. Take a look at his great portfolio here. via

I know, I know, I know….it screams photoshop doesnt it. But what a good idea! Can anyone vouch for its existence or even shout FARKed! at me in the comments?

It doesn’t particularly look like a great bar though does it…bet it takes forever to get served but at least its some place to crash for the evening! (sorry).via
