Big On Detail
Australian sculptor and former puppeteer (on Jim Henson’s Labyrinth) Ron Mueck spends hundreds of hours perfecting the fine details of his hyper realistic pieces, rendering them identical in appearance to the human form in virtually all respects but one – scale.
Mueck’s disconcertingly intimate figures are either oversized (as in Couple Under an Umbrella, above) or miniaturised.
In April, Mueck unveiled three new works at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. The exhibition runs until the end of September.

Flaming Dominoes
Last Sunday, a railroad bridge across the Colorado River between San Saba and Lometa in Texas caught fire. All the firecrews could do was watch (and film it). Firefighter captain Jack Blossman said:
Within 25 seconds, it was just gone, and then it just turned into a giant fireball, because of all of the creosote in the cross-ties.
Wait for it…

A unique tribute to Paddy Lane – community radio host with CRY in Youghal by Czech Republic-Canadian singer Yitka.

Who likes to promote music,
He is the ladies’ friend…’

Hypno-GIFs
Turkish artist and photographer Erdal Inci:
…has created a hypnotic series of GIFs that takes the concept of cloned motion to a truly eerie level. Often using images of himself in mundane situations, Inci transforms simple snapshots into entrancing video loops.
