These set of images I found heavy with a morbid undertone yet irresistible. They way the artists crafts a story around such staunchness had me chuckling to a few arrangements of mischievousness. Sadly I could not locate who the artists was so if anyone would like to point me in the right direction, that would be amazing!
I’ll have to admit I spend a fair amount of time on the interwebs. So to say that I was open mouthed when I first came across these pictures, they should be quite epic. From what I and mostly everyone else who wanted to know more has learned from dear old Wiki:
Auquascaping is the craft of arranging aquatic plants, as well as rocks, stones, cavework, or driftwood, in an aesthetically pleasing manner within an aquarium—in effect, gardening under water. Aquascape designs include a number of distinct styles, including the colorful Dutch style and the evocative nature style. Typically, an aquascape houses fish as well as plants, although it is possible to create an aquascape with plants only, or even with rockwork or other hardscape and no plants. Although an aquascaper’s primary aim is to create an artful underwater landscape, he or she is also necessarily concerned with the technical aspects of aquatic plant maintenance.

If there’s one thing people will tend to agree on, its the mundane output that seems to be plaguing American automotive design for decades. It can only be said now that the influx of decent output is due to relations between international companies (i.e. Holden) for the much needed refresh of eye-candy. As I say this though, I can’t help but admire some of the concept cars that America has built. Of these I would pick most notably the Ford GT90. An amazing machine that only gets better with age; it would be right at home within the current culture climate of retro reliving. Below is an except from wiki and some glorious images. I need this as a poster ASAP.
The Ford GT90 was a concept car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was unveiled in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show as “the world’s mightiest supercar”. Claimed performance included a top speed 253 mph (409 km/h) from a 720 hp (537 kW) quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the exhaust of which was claimed to be hot enough to damage the body panels, requiring ceramic tiles similar to those on the space shuttle to prevent this.
The mid-engined car was a spiritual successor to the Ford GT40, taking from it some styling cues, such as doors that cut into the roofline, but little else. All angles and glass, the Ford GT90 was the first Ford to display the company’s “New Edge” design philosophy. The GT90 was built around a honeycomb-section aluminum monocoque and its body panels were molded from carbon fiber.
