America

It’s that time of the year again, when everyone and their mom seems to be caught up in the overly commercialized fever of the “Love Month”. We are not totally averse to Valentine’s Day, as you may very well know. We have posts such as the one about the Indiana Jones engagement ring. If, however, you are not feeling all too lovey dovey this month, don’t worry. There is no pressure to fall into the commercial trap from us! In fact, today’s post just might make you appreciate flowers more than ever. Without the usual connotations that come with it. These flower pictures are the work of American photographer David Read more »

Classic Cocktail Chart

This is what happens when you have been on a diet from good cocktails for months. I am not complaining, but I sure do miss sipping a White Russian and a nice mojito. With this recent discovery, though, I just might be able to whip up something decent without having to pay an arm and leg for something that will only make my head hurt in the end. And maybe you can, too! In any case, this really might be the only classic cocktails chart that one will ever need. Created by Pop Chart Lab, the image puts together what looks to me hundreds of classic cocktails and breaks them Read more »

BSG Viper Papercraft

Got nimble fingers that can fold, cut, and shape a simple sheet of paper into something that will make people go “Wow!”? I sure don’t, but that does not mean I cannot appreciate the art of papercraft, which I seem to be seeing a lot these days. Just very recently, I shared what is being dubbed as the future of food: papercraft hamburger. Today, I found something even more fascinating: a collection of geeky papercraft. These works of folded paper can be credited to ~homestah of DeviantArt, who seems to have a propensity for fiddling with paper to create gifts for friends. I wish I were his friend! First up, Read more »

Papercraft Hamburger

I don’t know if you remember Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann, also known collectively as Zim & Zou, but some time last year, we showcased their very colorful papercraft gadgets. If you are not into pretty colors, you might not appreciate their work at first glance. However, the intricacy of the details of each papercraft gadget will certainly elicit a positive response from anyone. The French designers are back, and this time, they have turned their attention to another thing that never fails to get my attention: the hamburger. Zim & Zou have constructed a papercraft hamburger that will definitely turn heads. Their work is dubbed the “Future of Food” Read more »

When Batman Meets Dr. Seuss

Mashups are almost always fun, aren’t they? As you may very well know, we at ForeverGeek have a thing for mashups. At least the ones that are awesomely done. And speaking of awesome, I just discovered a Deviant Artist who goes by name DrFaustusAU. This guy is doing his fellow Aussies proud with his artwork, and if you are a fan of Batman, you definitely will like to see this artist’s take on what would happen if Dr. Seuss put his touch on the popular comic series. This guy’s work speaks for itself. It is a case of words will really do no justice to the wonderfully wacky images that Read more »

Amazing Packing Tape Art

MacGyver may know his way around duct tape, but artist Max Zorn does his own stunning thing with packing tape. Duct tape has a lot of practical uses, but with packing tape, Max Zorn has done something astoundingly beautiful. How about portraits made with nothing but tape? Forget paint. Forget watercolor. Forget pencils. Just get some packing tape – the brown translucent kind – and flexible Plexi-glass, and a cutter, and you might just be able to replicate the packing tape art of Max Zorn. According to the artist, he got inspiration for his work from a friend who was working as a car designer. If you have experience in Read more »

Hanksy Apollo 13

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, and if that’s true, then Banksy’s just been handed out a pretty nice compliment. Artist Hanksy has made a name for himself by impersonating the elusive Banksy, and one of his latest spoofs is something that you just can’t ignore. Banksy fans will know his Biplane art, where a plane leaves a heart-shaped trail. In case you do not remember, or it is the first time you’ve heard of it, here is the original work by Banksy. As with many of Banksy’s work, there is something about this that I can’t put my finger on. No, it’s not the heart trail. Read more »

Bansky Shopping

It was only recently that I discovered Bansky, but one look at his works of red and black was enough to get me. I am sure that hardcore Banksy fans will have more to say about the artist and his work, and especially about his recent presence in London. We still know nil about Banksy, but his art speaks for itself. Here are some of the most recent art that have cropped up. So you are yearning for a certain lifestyle? Sucks to be you. Banksy says that the lifestyle you want is out of stock. Better buck up, and learn to enjoy what you have! How do you feel Read more »

Punk Princesses Will Make You Look Twice

Punk Mulan

Books, TV series, and movies have traditionally portrayed princesses as dainty little things that need some protection and rescuing. Even those stories which show the stronger streak in women still somehow manage to depict princesses in the “sugar and spice and all things nice” manner. Of course, we have seen more recent illustrations of princesses – and women in general – that kick butt, and I didn’t really hear anyone complain. Here’s another set of illustrations which show a whole different side to princesses. For sure, many will appreciate the edge that the illustrations give these gals, but somehow, I am not sure that their respective fathers (or father figures) Read more »
