Behold: the Droog Moto DM-015 – a custom hog that looks to be straight off the set of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ but is, in fact, a stripped-back beefed-up Kawasaki Ninja 250 with adjustable suspension, LED lighting and geometry adjusted to the precise measurements of the rider.
Yours for €27,000 – not that currency has any meaning in the post apocalyptic wasteland.
The simple, effective anthropomorphic fantasies of artist Sean Charmatz.
Much as you’d expect from a former ‘Spongebob Squarepants’ director.
More of his animations here.

An impressive and twisted Royal College Of Art graduation short by Laura Jayne, apparently based on her own experience, but not literally. You’ll see.
To wit: two drunk friends accidentally stumble upon a crime scene.
Sorry – must’ve been that lentil dahl.
Behold: Messier 82, aka the Cigar Galaxy, smoking away like it had some kind of infinite gas reservoir – fooling no one but itself. To wit:
M82, as this starburst galaxy is also known, was stirred up by a recent pass near large spiral galaxy M81. This doesn’t fully explain the source of the red-glowing outwardly expanding gas and dust, however. Evidence indicates that this gas and dust is being driven out by the combined emerging particle winds of many stars, together creating a galactic superwind. The dust particles are thought to originate in M82’s interstellar medium and are actually similar in size to particles in cigar smoke. The featured photographic mosaic highlights a specific colour of red light strongly emitted by ionised hydrogen gas, showing detailed filaments of this gas and dust. The filaments extend for over 10,000 light years. The 12-million light-year distant Cigar Galaxy is the brightest galaxy in the sky in infrared light, and can be seen in visible light with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Great Bear (Ursa Major).

Behold: Adastra – a luxury 43 meter trimaran originally commissioned by Hong Kong-based businessman Antony Marden from UK based builders Shuttleworth Design.
The stripped-down, lightweight carbon fibre and kevlar cruiser has a full-width master ensuite bedroom, two guest cabins, a massive 1,150 bhp Caterpillar C18 engine with a top speed of 23 knots and a 10-knot cruising range of 10,000 nautical miles.
Yours for a knockdown €10,700,000 ono.
North Bull Island, Dublin, yesterday.
Save Poolbeg.
