Old Skateboards Becoming Artistic Skulls

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 08:21 PM PST

Mixing skateboards with skulls mus to look bad-ass, and it really does. Designer Beto Janz has taken old used skateboards and created them into awesome skull art. This was actually done to promote a skate shop in Brazil, and you have to admit that the skulls are a cool idea. They promoted it in an underground way, because they applied stickers with the address to the shop on the skulls and placed them around other skate shops, so that people would notice them.

Those who do it will get the skulls as a souvenir, and I’m sure that they will go visit the skate shop only because the advertising was so great. Janz had to break the skateboards into pieces before he drilled a couple of holes in it so it would eventually look like a scary skull. A skater or not a skater, either way it would be really cool to find one of these skulls. Another artist that has used skulls as inspiration is this Russian artist that transforms fruit into skulls.

The Battle of Stalingrad Represented In A Creative Way

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 07:51 AM PST

At first glance these photos look messy but that is because they are so detailed. The artist used whole 6 years to finish this project. This war scenario is situated in The European Theater and is showing the great Battle of Stalingrad during World War II. It was when the Nazis fought the Soviet Union to get control of the city of Stalingrad that is now Volgograd in southwestern Russia. It was among the largest battles on the Eastern Front and is marked as the bloodiest battles in history of warfare with almost two million victims who unfortunately didn’t survive.

Flickr user sspz101 has taken his time to create little soldiers showing the battle field of Stalingrad. The small soldiers and the snow and everything around them are so detailed done that it’s impressive. Something that can really remind of this is these miniatures of WWII – stunning!
