Art FTW!

Seriously.

A flickr pool of classical art images updated for the OMFG generation. Personally I blame LOL cats.

WTF

OOOOOkay, here's a self portrait of Gene Ween looking like a zombie pirate from hell. He's walking the fine line between being a madman and a genius, as usual.

You can see more of his photos on his flickr site, but most of them aren't this wild. In fact there's some really artistic shots including some great behind-the-scene Ween pics from their latest tour. Check em out here.

Moons in Order

Here's all the moons in our solar system all lined up in order of size, with Earth in the background for a size comparison.

Made with ArtRage 2.5 and a Wacom pen on a Mac Mini... a great combination.
Too fun.

Streamline

My latest painting, named Streamline, is acrylic and oil on canvas. It has a light layer of irridescent blue gloss that makes it almost impossible to photograph. But it looks great in person, trust me :P

Color Patchwork

No, it's not another fractal image or abstract painting. This is a photo of the Sao Simao Reservoir in Brazil, taken from the International Space Station.

Less Tacky Fractals

Somewhere along the line fractals got lumped in with potheads, tie dye and the Grateful Dead, but some of these entries to the 2007 Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest are unique and aesthetically pleasing.

These are nice:

Playground by Klaus-Peter Kubik (pictured to the right)
Past Present Future by Joseph Priestly
The Draftsman by Paul DeCelle

Coolest Thing I've Seen All Year

These nano-explosions are like little bite-sized mushroom clouds.

See more lovely images from the Science as Art Competition.

Some new art for the new year. 2008's pretty cool so far. I have high hopes for this year.
