These gorgeous dresses are part of an awesome series entitled Wearable Foods. Created by Korean artist Yeonju Sung, each of these beautiful garments was elaborately made of edible materials such as red peppers, eggplants, bananas, green onions, lotus roots, white radishes, tomatoes, and red cabbage. The bottom two pieces are made of bubble gum.
While one may categorically define Sung’s good-enough-to-eat collection as sculptural foodwear, it is just as much a photographic series. The artist explains, “I create my own world of reality by generating a completely different set of images that contradict the conventional notion of food and clothes. As time goes by, the food from my work do go through a progression of disappearance due to the nature of food and gets gradually changed into the hideous state fading its shape and color in the process…”

“Champion English rider Gillian Higgins created a rather unusual way to teach horse anatomy to novice riders, caretakers, and veterinary students. Higgins uses water-based hypoallergenic paints to create the muscular and skeletal systems on the horse’s hair so students gain a better understanding of how the bones and muscles work together.”

Glitch, an online game by Tiny Speck, is closing. I am very sad… I loved this game. I had four different glitch avatars during the year+ I played, and I was attached to each one of them. They lived on different types of streets and had different functions in the game — one lived in a bog and spent most of her time growing and harvesting herbs for potions, another lived in the forest and kept pigs and chickens named after sharks, yet another lived in a candy-colored alien landscape and had a musicblock disco in her tower. What set Glitch apart from other games was the atmosphere — the foundations of all the areas of the Glitch world of Ur were gorgeous, adorable designs and illustrations from a truly creative team who found beauty in the ridiculous (from talking pigs to reptilian bureaucrats) and appreciated subtle adult humor (for example, the wood trees, which you’d harvest for planks, would make light sexual innuedo and the butterflies really enjoyed being massaged for their milk). There were wonderful hidden corners and glorious landscapes on every screen of the game, from home streets to Hell. I am being a total nerd and posting pics of my glitches and some of my in-game screenshots here, mostly so I can easily come back and reference the delightful visuals. Glitch will vanish on December 9th, 2012, so if you are a player, play on while you can. I hear they have started partying in Cebarkul already and are sending the game out with a worthy bang. RIP Glitch, I loved you very much.

paperimages: Emma Watson contacted Mark Demsteader to buy some of his work and the artist asked if he could do a series of paintings of her. The collection was exhibited at the Panter & Hall Gallery in London in June 2011. It comprised 34 portraits in a variety of different mediums.
