The post Thomas Medicus Displays Thought-Provoking Sculpture of Endangered Animals appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Using 144 strips of glass confined in a cube, Medicus reproduced images of lynx, bee, kingfisher, and river trout. All these animals are affected by the lack of care for the environment and ongoing climate change. They are in danger of losing their habitat and getting closer to extinction if humans don’t change their approach.
Human Animal Binary is currently displayed in Innsbruck, an Austrian mountain city that also serves as the capital of Tyrol. It will remain there for the next 12 months. The artist is also preparing a film about the project that will share more details about the process of creating the sculpture and the goal it aims to achieve.
“Human/Animal Binary was designed to last. One day the installation will stand in a different social context: as a memorial that has come true or as a relic of a time that has been overcome,” the artist explains.
If you can’t make it to Innsbruck, see what makes this “Human Animal Binary” special in the video below.

]]>Unlike many other artists who create insect art, Okita’s works are huge in size. She designs them so they can be displayed hanging from wires, and they measure up to 9.5 inches wide and around 3.5-4.5 inches tall. Despite being made out of fabric, they are surprisingly realistic. You can be tricked into thinking you’re looking at live creatures before you get too close. How scary would it be running into such a big moth for real?
Okita sells artworks on Etsy so you can check out her store if you’re interested. Make sure to follow her on Instagram as well because her work is truly fascinating. Seeing the insects in the photos is not as scary as in-person; it’s actually quite beautiful. She only has around 6k followers for now, but we believe that people are yet to discover her talent and give her support.

]]>“The streets of New York and its eccentric personalities definitely became a hub for inspiration after I moved from my other home, New Zealand,” she says on her website. “There was so much to capture, I couldn’t stop drawing people! My style naturally began to showcase my love for whimsical characters and satirical storytelling.”
This talented artist has worked with many famous brands in the past, including Faber Castell, Vans, J Crew, Ralph Lauren, and many others. Her illustrations tell stories about vibrant city life and always leave us wanting more.
Make sure to follow her on Instagram and watch her interpretation of the seasons changing and life going by as she explores intimate interior scenes and public city life.

]]>“I’m a self-taught artist, been working with air-dry polymer clay for about six years in my own technique,” the artist told My Modern Met. “Each piece of clay I form with my hands and then glue the pieces together. I make figures, ornaments basically in animal theme, and also recently I started making framed landscapes.”
Just like the painters use brushstrokes, Lariushkina uses curved and wavy lines of polymer clay to create beautiful art pieces. This helps her create texture and depth and accounts for a stunning visual effect. Some of the artworks are directly inspired by famous paintings while others represent things she sees around her. Lariushkina is great at recreating nature landscapes in her own way, and the minimalistic approach just accentuates their beauty.

]]>Jess’s page has over 20k followers already. To thank them for their support, Jess now posts a selfie every day during the lockdown.
“She had a bumpy start in life and was a huge bundle of nerves when we got her two years ago,” her owner tells us.
The Instagram page is a celebration of Jess’s life and it turned out to be something that many people can relate to.
Jess spent the first several years of her life with a few different owners who ultimately didn’t have time and energy to take care of her. That’s how she got to her current home where she got to enjoy many things for the first time, such as staying inside and sleeping in a human bed, which she loves a lot. Scroll down to see some of her adorable photos and follow her on Instagram if you want to see her pretty face on your feed every day!

]]>“A mix of passion for editorial art and interest in journalism led me to this idea, upon finding that some very interesting stories get lost in our feed because they have an ordinary cover picture, like a stock image that doesn’t say much. That’s because some subjects are too abstract to be photographed, so editors pair them with something neutral and insipid,” the artist told Bored Panda.
Since most of us spend our days consuming news and other content on social media, their idea was to create a visual editorial approach and highlight the good things that are happening. As you’ve probably noticed, bad news attracts people’s attention most of the time, and this account wants to change that. Scroll down to see some of the recent illustrations and follow ICSD on Instagram for more similar content in the future.
After suffering frozen eyes in an accident on the Matterhorn three years ago and lost her flatmate in an accident there last year, Fernanda overcame her fears to complete the feat just one day before a landslide trapped 25 climbers on the mountain. "I was super scared, but these mountains represent a physical, emotional and spiritual challenge for me." 
Climbing without rope in solo style, Maciel reached the 4,061m summit of Gran Paradiso in just two hours and 40 minutes, completing the round route in just four hours and three minutes to better her own previous FKT. She then transferred to Cervinia, in Italy, and climbed the 4,478m Matterhorn summit on a difficulty IV rated route. 
Damn.

So in 2020 the agency was given the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and improve conditions for peace. 
The WFP, the 101st winner of a prize now worth 10m Swedish krona, said it was "deeply humbled" to have won. "I was literally for the first time in my life without words," said David Beasley, the WFP head. "To receive this award is a recognition to the men and women at the World Food Programme who put their lives on the line every day for the struggling, suffering people around the world. So I hope this is a signal and a message that the World Food Programme is a role model and that we all have got to do more." 
If you want to make a small contribution to the program you can tap the link in bio. The minimum amount is $1,50, which could make up for almost 5 food rations, given the strong ties between WFP and food suppliers.

These are the conclusions of a research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology which involved six studies that asked participants to rate the attractiveness of themselves and other participants, who were strangers. The studies also asked participants to predict how others might rate them. 
In the first study, lead author Tobias Greitemeyer found that the participants who were most likely to overestimate their attractiveness were among the least attractive people in the study, based on average ratings. 
"Overall, unattractive participants judged themselves to be of about average attractiveness and they showed very little awareness that strangers do not share this view. In contrast, attractive participants had more insights into how attractive they actually are. […] It thus appears that unattractive people maintain illusory self‐perceptions of their attractiveness, whereas attractive people's self‐views are more grounded in reality." Greitemeyer found that unattractive people were worse at differentiating between attractive and unattractive people. But the finding that unattractive people may have different beauty ideals did "not have an impact on how they perceive themselves." 
“It truly is a celebration for the whole community,” Antonella Invernizzi, the mayor of Morterone, told Corriere della Sera. Denis’s parents, Matteo and Sara, followed the Italian tradition of announcing the birth by placing a ribbon – blue for a boy and pink for a girl – on the door of their home. It is the first time such a ribbon has been seen in the village since 2012, when a baby girl was born. 
Sara spoke about being pregnant during the coronavirus pandemic, which has severely affected the Lombardy region but spared Morterone. “It wasn’t easy to be pregnant during a pandemic,” she said. “You were unable to go out or go and see loved ones.” She said there would be a party once the family returns from the hospital. “We will welcome everyone with open arms … It’s exciting that my little one will be among the inhabitants of Morterone, and increasing, even if only slightly, the population.” Denis’s birth comes a few weeks after data showed that Italy’s declining birth rate hit a record low in 2019, with 420,170 babies born – the lowest since records began in 1861. 
The study was conducted by Dr. Liisa Hamalainen, from the University of Cambridge, on 2 types of birds, blue tits and great tits. She made 2 types of food items out of almond flakes, some of them soaked in a bitter solution, and placed a cross or a square on an outer wrapping. The birds reactions were then filmed and shown to members of both their own and other species. 
Upon eating the bitter flakes the birds reacted with a comical disgust, making a great show of their distaste, whose meaning their viewers recognized. Both blue tits and great tits got the message and steered well clear of the bitter flakes, confirming that the educational video worked.

]]>Min Heo says she always needed something to be either written down or drawn in order to learn. This made becoming an illustrator a logical choice for her. She studied at ArtCenter College of Design and her major was in illustration.
. . . 18/31 #illustration #illust #inktober #inktober2020 #inktoberchallenge #drawtober #illustratorsoninstagram #drawing #dailydrawing #sketchbook #일러스트 #일러스트레이션“I had no idea what illustrators did exactly,” she told It’s Nice That. “Lots of picture books maybe?” She considered switching to graphic design simply because it had better employment opportunities, but she finally decided to listen to her heart and has been working as a freelance illustrator since she graduated in 2013.
Heo’s Instagram account @minstudio_ is close to having 20,000 followers which is a really big deal. Scroll down to see some of her illustrations and follow her for more. Her style reminds us of vintage 1920s fashion and that’s because she uses historical references that elevate her seemingly simple designs. Enjoy her work!

]]>Not only her breads are pretty to look at, but they’re equally delicious! Using various things to add flavor, such as rosemary, cream cheese, walnuts, honey, etc., Hannah makes sure her audience gets hungry every time she posts a new photo. Scroll down to see he work and if that’s not enough, definitely support her on Instagram!
To the recipe questions: In this case as in most others, I was somewhat throwing things together on the fly with the helping hand of my beloved baker’s percentage. I promise I will share some kind of rosemary-related formula in the not too distant future. It will be hard for me, but I’ll try to commit to doing the same thing twice, or even three times. Write the measurements down, Hannah. WRITE THEM DOWN.The post Baker Creates Artistic Botanical Patterns on Bread appeared first on TettyBetty.
