Holy Vader!

Holy Vader!

If you thought Vader wasn’t close to God, you were so very wrong. This right here, is a sith of the cloth, or man of cloth, whatever you may like to call it. This image of Darth Vader as the patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church is the work of artist Dmitry Dyachkov. And something tells me, we’re going to see a lot more of Vader priests.

Partly inspired by the work of Todd McLellan‘s disassembly series, Exploded Flowers is a series working with the deconstruction of flowers, reducing them down to their basic parts from complete, full flowers.

Rubber Bookshelves


Rubber Bookshelves


We absolutely love the idea of bookshelves being flexible and accommodating enough to hold books of nearly every size, and in cleverly adjustable designs. The shelves have been designed by Luke Hart for the Sculpture House.

Ron Swanson Pumpkins Are a Thing

Ron Swanson Pumpkins Are a Thing


If you can imagine it, it probably exists. Our friends at BuzzFeed scrounged up a collection of jack-o-lanterns cut to look like Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) of “Parks and Recreation.”
I suppose it’s a nice holiday-appropriate gesture, but if you really want to honor Ron, you’d create his likeness with some kind of meat sculpture, and then eat it in one sitting with a bottle of single malt scotch.
On a whim, I just Googled “meat sculpture.” The results were delightful. Well, except for the pictures of my mom that turned up. I don’t know how that happened.

50 People Sh*tting Themselves In A Haunted House

50 People Sh*tting Themselves In A Haunted House

Halloween is right around the corner. So what better time to get together with friends, family and loved ones and publicly sh*t yourself? That’s exactly what the Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls, Canada aims to do. See, it’s a factory that produces Nightmares Fears, and as these photos will prove, business is booming. We still don’t know what it is, exactly, that is causing the following people to stop and drop and lose their effing minds out of terror, but whatever it is, we hope to never find out. Mainly because we look horrendous when terrified…
So dim the lights, light some candles, watch this video (don’t), and enjoy!

VERY NECESSARY CLOSE-UP:


(All photos found via Nightmares Fear Factory Flickr Page. Thanks for the heads up to my pal Richard Tamayo!)

UPDATE: Commenter Caged Wisdom points us to this post, which explains what it is these people are looking at:

I’ve been in the nightmare’s fear factory, it’s not bad, that’s not photo shopped, it’s a pitch dark room were suddenly a car drives at you with a loud horn stopped at the last possible second. They also have these fucking actors that will sneak up behind you and harass you in the pitch dark as you’re trying to follow this tiny red path of LED lights. You wouldn’t think it was scary but completely losing your sense of vision and then fucked up shit starts happening (thanks to the actors) it drives people to these reaction photos. No two times in there are the same.
On second thought, I would most definitely sh*t my pants if I were in these people’s… pants.
