Yuk it up with the "Sharknado" trilogy all you like. We're a bunch of monkeys sitting at typewriters today because life took a gamble and struggled out of the ocean millions of years ago to see what this whole "dry land" thing was about, and you bet your sweet bippy creatures of the sea aren't done horning in on our ...

For whatever our less-than-expert opinions may be worth to naturalists everywhere, no denizen of sea is quite so generally underappreciated or underestimated as the octopus. It should be enough that they are already the living embodiments of Lovecraftian eldritch horrors. These eight-armed invertebrates have been ...
Ah, the Bloody Mary. If there's a more indispensable libations in all mixology, we have yet to make its acquaintance. It manages to somehow be as trustworthy a "hair of the dog" hangover-tamer as it is a go-to infusion of spice added to getting drunk in the first place. Anyone can throw together an easy-mode ...
While most furniture is designed around functionality, and aesthetics that fit with most standard interior design themes, there is one particular exception – the coffee table. Coffee tables are unique, in that the whole purpose of creating them is to accommodate the social interactions among people who share a cup of ...
We could cite a number of reasons we don't have children. Even if most of them didn't require the phrases "500-foot restraining order" or "banned for life from all major dating websites and sex clubs", we would probably voluntarily opt out of parenthood. That's because ordinary teenage "creativity" leads to ...
If you are attracted to the light of all things 'groovy', then you are gonna dig this Bioluminescent Mini Aquarium because it's just… cool, man. Whether you like having some of your hip friends over at the house, or you want to throw some love out to the crowd at your next party, the soft, blue light that emits out of ...
It's amazing what children can do, especially if you give them free reign over a box of crayons! Drawing pictures with crayons benefits children in many ways, it lets their imagination flow and stirs their creative juices, and that produces amazing, heart-felt picture art. Because the pictures that children draw ...
Thanks, Adam Pizurny. If there was just one question that prodded our minds from the moment we woke up today, it was, "What could the halls of our dreams run yellow with 'fraidy-urine?" Inspired by what we suspect to be a combination of boredom, imagination, and a compulsion to prove that just about anybody could ...
Etsy merchant HighNoonCreations brings the world wearable "technology" we at Unique Hunters can enthusiastically adopt immediately: the Snail Shell Helmet.

Pardon our gushing artistic appreciation, but a painter could cover no canvas more singular, nuanced in character, or evocatively intimate than a human body. Even in that superlative medium, Tokyo artist Hikaru Cho has an exemplary detailed hand and boundless imagination for conjuring mind-bending visions from her ...
Similar to the way bugs are attracted to the light, the stars in the night sky draws the attention of the human imagination. Some people that are passionately drawn to the heavenly realm of stars have gone so far as to install sky lights, to let the light from the night sky shine into their homes, so that they can ...
There aren't too many artistic media left that Nintendo has yet to conquer. From nearly four decades of acclaimed groundbreaking and iconic video games to musical tributes and licensed cartoons, comics, merchandise and toys ranging from Happy Meal collectibles to interactive Amiibos, there isn't much new ground left ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, step up and present your, ahem, DualShocks with pride. Three years ago, the PlayStation Controller Bra & Bro elevated co-op multiplayer to an intimate level Sony probably never anticipated. If they had been so visionary, then someone would have probably convinced Tecmo that the PlayStation ...
OK, Tail Jar. Well-done. With the injection of a little magic demonstrating the creative imaging capabilities of the newly released iPad Pro and its premiering Apple Pencil stylus, you mashed up ordinary photos and transformed everyday reality into something between that trippy Rob Zombie-directed sequence from ...
If time could manifest into a tangible form inside an hourglass, what would we see? Would it really be little more than the smooth surface of a single perfect dune? Or would we see something as dynamic as the passage of time itself, a physical representation of every small moment being drawn into the next, piling ...

Once upon a time, mankind accepted the adage, "If mine were meant to fly, he'd have been born with wings." Should Mother Nature ever deem airplanes passé and give human beings a makeover that is geared toward independent flight, we can only hope they'll be a fraction as gorgeous as El Costurero Real designer Alassie's ...
We've shared some imaginative and inventive works of art. We aren't sure we've ever come across something so detailed and transformative as what Kay Pike recently shared with her Twitch audience from the beginning of its creation to the finishing touch. The mixed artist, fashion designer and cosplay model is ...
It takes a singularly vivacious lady to leave a mark like no other. For instance, these artifully intricate lipstick designs have sharpened the looks created by Canadian makeup artist Andrea Reed, known online as Girl Grey Beauty, to a distinguished fine edge. Hers is the kind of brilliant style whose secrets many ...
We're staunch believers that those who cock up a job badly enough the first time don't get asked to do it again. As it happens, our friends and relatives just aren't seeing through our manufactured enthusiasm clearly enough when they ask us to babysit. If they did, they would realize in a heartbeat that we would ...
When you come across one of the few legitimately positive derivatives from a depressing letdown of a crossover between two legendary sci-fi properties, you're damn right, you display it proudly on your wall. If it just happens to be a limited-edition Alien Warrior Wall Art fashioned after the Xenomorph design seen ...
There are many kinds of watches, in fact, there is literally a watch for every type of sport, activity and passion. Basically, watches have become so much more than just time pieces, they've become an expression of one's likes, and they can even make a fashion statement, or set 'the' mood. Considering all that, ...
Ferris Bueller once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Once we finally do open our eyes, we're often hard-pressed to disagree. There's this hidden veil between worlds that most people will tragically never be aware of - at the very least, they'll ...
Technology is helping mankind in many wonderful way, in sports, in transportation, in healthcare, in music and in art.

Well, good news! Black-light responsive tattoos ...
Ordinarily, we'd raise hot Hell about the pointlessness of making things glow all bright and pretty-like just to hide them among other fluorescent surroundings. Then again, imaginative photographer Alex Markow took a Miami building filled with primary objects and destined for demolition and turned the joint into a ...
Whatever your take on the last two years' controversial Academy Award nominations, we can nearly all agree that the Oscars trend toward being just masturbatory enough to almost completely ignore any consideration for which movies audiences actually ENJOYED the most. We submit an entirely separate measure of a ...
This side of George Lucas's original STAR WARS trilogy or perhaps BLADE RUNNER, one would find few sci-fi cinema adventures so beloved among futurists as THE FIFTH ELEMENT. Really, why not? As artist Alejandra Burdisio might attest with his four-year-old "Scrap Metal Universe" series might attest judging from his ...
Exploring the vastness of the STAR WARS universe alongside a truly versed scholar of the franchise is a whole different animal from experiencing it with a casual fan.

When someone warned Jamie Wolfe that shaving just causes hair to grow back even thicker and faster, we have to believe the hirsute pride of Nampa, Idaho imagined his every Christmas wish had arrived at once. What? Exactly what else would we assume about an intrepid and evidently tragically bored man who enlisted ...
INCEPTION shifted the way we view inspiration, dreams, and embracing our realities with healthy respect for never lingering too long upon a fantasy. Visionary furniture designer Stelios Mousarris took Christopher Nolan's vision of foldable cityscapes and used it to change the way we view coffee tables. The ...
Most of us who grew up during the most revolutionary early years of multimedia phone innovation would likely pause a moment from telling those damn kids to get off our lawns to remember a time when built-in cameras were quaint but unimpressive devices. These spellbinding worlds sewn together from simple iPhone images ...
Who we are on the surface never tells the entire story, does it? Take a good, close look at ICONS UNMASKED by hilarious Chicago artist Alex Solis, and you'll never look at pop culture's most ubiquitous icons quite the same way again once you realize just how much they might be hiding. Not only are the illustrations ...
How do you do it, Natasha Farnsworth? In the sunrise of your early twenties, you've fostered the supplet-yet-sure bonds with the love of your life that let you explore creating striking works of 3D art on her body's bare canvas. Not all who fall in love - with the throes of their creative passions or another human ...
Maybe we just have an unnatural attraction to peacocks. Maybe our fascination with Roza Khamitova's ethereally ornate winged scarves means we really shouldn't be looking forward to our weekly visit with the court-appointed therapist - currently the sole individual standing between us and sex-offender registry and a ...
The Fiona Blackfish hanging chair is the next-best accoutrement to a certain other bad-ass throne our asses will never grace. Oh, they told us our quest was folly when we sought to cop a squat in the mouth of an adult killer whale. By "they", we of course mean SeaWorld security. As long as we're being honest, ...
Pardon our snobbery, but we would hope that thrift stores would be the last place anyone serious about livening up a space with some original art would look for tasteful paintings. If it's in a thrift store, it likely means someone else damn sure didn't think much of its appeal or quality, and it's usually pretty ...
Ambient sound, music and words all have unique signatures when recorded, and these interesting sound waves that you see displayed on audio recording and playing software have taken on a new meaning - a new visual meaning that is captured now as… visual art. What kind of message? This art work is special, in that ...

As much as baseball has been, and is now, and will surely be in the future; an institution that has helped shape the American culture – the spirit of baseball. In great honor to the sport, and to the players, monuments have been built, the likes of which have not been seen in decades – famous ballpark stadiums. ...
This imported Reversible Skull Scarf proves beyond a shadow of a doubt what Tim Burton told us 22 years ago next month: even with Christmas thick in the air, there's always room for a little something darker and heavier on the side. Long and elegant, it looks impeccably at-home in any setting, whether you should ...
About 40 to 50 years ago things were made differently than today; things were made with the style of the times and were crafted to last. Basically, they were hardy, and businesses took more time and attention to details that are coveted in the nostalgia of the 1950’s era. One of the ‘things’ that people love about ...
Darth Takes A Holiday In "STAR WARS On Vacation Art Prints" Exhibition Artist Kyle Hagey gave a lot of thought to a question that he apparently found the STAR WARS Expanded Universe ineffective at answering: just what do the most gallant heroes and remorseless villains do when they aren't clashing on battlegrounds ...
What a wonderful world we could share with a race of unthinkably tiny humans. No, seriously.

Here's one of the realities of early artistic training: nobody first picks up a pencil as a fully-formed and schooled Leonardo Da Vinci, Chuck Jones, or Jack Kirby. Honing great artistic ability and technique takes time, and tracing makes an excellent first step toward settling in a certain muscle memory and fine ...
