How to Transfer a Photo onto a Block of Wood
onto a Block of Wood
Here’s a quick and easy tutorial that’ll teach you a cool method of transferring a photo print (black and white or color) onto a block of wood.
All you’ll need (aside from the photo and wood) is some gel medium and Mod Podge. You’ll want to use prints made with some kind of laser printer or copier rather than an ink printer.

Make it like a GTA mission
(CBS) - We rarely post random photos from Reddit, but when we do it's because we discovered something genius.
This clever photo was posted today on the social bookmarking community's sub-Reddit, /r/gaming. Simply titled "She's got me figured out," the photo is of a list of chores that only a Grand Theft Auto fan could appreciate.
Posted by Redditor ElMangosto, the chores are from his girlfriend and written out like a GTA-style mission called "No Dinner, Mo' Problems." The list has things like, "Collect 8oz Fontina from grocery store" and "Take car to wash to shake the cops." We salute this woman for her hilarious spin on a typical to-do list. Talk about creative communication.
Hey, ElMangosto. We hope you finished your mission because the reward seems pretty awesome.

Detailed Homeless Photography
Lee Jeffries career began as a sports photographer, capturing the beautiful game of football in Manchester. Then a chance meeting with a homeless woman living in the streets of London changed his life forever. He has since dedicated himself to capturing gripping portraits of the disenfranchised.
Shooting exclusively in black and white, Lee Jeffries’ 135+ pictures can be viewed in his Flickr Photostream. The majority are closeup portraits with incredible detail. Each photograph exudes so much raw character and depth, you find yourself studying each shot with great intensity. Below is a sample of his large collection, the Sifter strongly recommends you check out his entire set on Flickr.
Lee Jeffries lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom. Close to the professional football circle, this artist starts to photograph sporting events. A chance meeting with a young homeless girl in the streets of London changes his artistic approach forever.
Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had stolen a photo from this young homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. The photographer knew that the young girl had noticed him but his first reaction was to leave. He says that something made him stay and go and discuss with the homeless girl. His perception about the homeless completely changes. They become the subject of his art.
The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in the United States: «Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait.» From then onwards, his photographs portray his convictions and his compassion to the world.

BLACK + WHITE PORTRAITS
I don't know how Jeffries does it. But, the detail indepth nature of his photos is unreal. I was blown away when I saw these. Just look at the hair quality in these photos alone. Everything is captured. I have not seen photos as deep as these in a long time. Kudos to the photographer. I'm blown away. I hope you are too...I'm sure you will agree.
Portrait Using 13,138 Dice!
Canadian artist and designer Tobias Wong died last year at the young age of 35, or more specifically, 13,138 days. In tribute, his friend Frederick McSwain created this immense portrait of Wong entitled Die using 13,138 dice as part of the BrokenOff BrokenOff exhibition at Gallery R’Pure in NYC in memoriam to the artist during NY Design Week. McSwain via Core77:
The idea of a die itself was appropriate—the randomness of life. It felt like [a medium] he would use. Because [Tobias] was a very street-level force, I thought it was appropriate [to install] the portrait on the floor. Its not something I wanted to suspend on the wall; I wanted it to be right there on the floor where you almost interact with it.
The idea of every decision you make and everything you’ve done in your life, defines who you are. All of those days symbolically makes up the image of Tobi.
The dice were first meticulously organized into individual sheets of 361 pieces and then laid to rest free on the floor without adhesive. The time lapse above shows the process in detail. A big thanks to Frederick for providing the photos of Miller Taylor for this post. (via core77)

A lot of Doodles
The moleskine pages from Maykel Nunes are consumed with doodles from corner to corner. The ink literally bleeds to the end of each spread and the content completely differs on every page turn.
The presentation of the work is simply wonderful too, as the context of each photo; from coffee beans to playing cards, make for great backdrops. Well done Maykel.

Cool Jack O' Lantern's
Hey Jack!
I love Halloween. I also really like the art of Jack O' Lantern's. It could be because it takes me back to my childhood, who knows. But, one thing I like about them is how different and stylized people carve them. These are some of my favorites.

Dog Star Wars Costume
Best Dog Halloween Costume Ever
I'm a Star Wars and a dog freak. This is the best dog costume I've seen in a long time. Damn, I can't wait for Halloween. Doggy looks like it's looking for the Rebels (the cats).
