Paper Doll - Photoshop Style

I found this both amusing and impressive. This guy takes high resolution photos of WWII militaria and insignia to create Photoshop images of himself in the Captain's uniform of both axis and allied armed forces.

View them all here!

Among my favorite features are the ever-changing facial hair and the way each uniform gives him a different personality.

Which one is your favorite?

Captain US 101st Airborne

Captain, French Foreign Legion

Captain, Long Range Desert Group

Photo Realism...in 3D

This artist is, in my opinion, incredible. Called "The Invisible Man," he paints himself to match the background and almost disappears in each photograph.


"I experienced the dark side of society, without social relations, and had a feeling that no one cared about me, I felt myself unnecessary in this world," said Liu Bolin. I think his art expresses that quite well. See more images here.

Attention to Detail!

Just read this story and think it is a good reminder to pay attention even if it feels familiar!

I used to work at an office where birthday greeting cards were passed around at least once a week. When the card reached me, I'd quickly scribble down a message and pass it on ASAP. One day, a co-worker (and friend) told me that I might want to pay more attention to when signing cards, since the one that had most recently made the rounds was not a birthday card but rather a sympathy card for a co-worker whose parent had recently died. In it, I had written, "Hope it's a great one!"
