]]>People have different ways to deal with the challenges of long-distance relationships. Some are constantly chatting with their partners, others organize online dates, and then there are people, like the couple behind Choco & Pancake webcomics, who use the experience as an inspiration for creative work.
These two artists, known only as Choco and Pancake, live in two different cities, but that didn’t have a negative effect on their love. Instead, it only strengthened it and led to the creation of a series of relatable comics through which they illustrate how it’s like to be in a long-distance relationship in an amusing and relatable way.
Their works have been met with positive feedback from the social media users, prompting the couple to start thinking about creating an animated series and publishing a comic book. In the meantime, they shared the secret to maintaining a successful long-distance relationship.
“Love, patience, trust, and understanding are the ingredients to hold a relationship and make it last,” the couple reveals.

]]>During a recent solo exhibition at Albarrán Bourdais art gallery, artist Fernando Sánchez Castillo presented a recreation of Diego Velázquez’s Expulsion of the Moriscos, one of the paintings that was destroyed in the Royal Alcázar fire. The painting, which depicted expulsions of Maors from Spain in 1609, was recreated through a laborious process that included the use of AI text-to-image software Midjourney.
According to Spanish media outlet El Pais, Castillo first gathered detailed descriptions of the painting from historical records and a copy of a simple sketch of the painting that is currently being held in Madrid’s Prado Museum. He and AI enthusiast Paula García then used the collected data, as well as other paintings on the same subject, to make various recreations of Velázquez’s lost artwork with Midjourney until they got the best result.
“It’s a time-consuming job that requires patience. You move forward, go back, check internet images, then move forward again,” García told El Pais.
Castillo and García say that 80% of their recreation of Velázquez’s “Expulsion of the Moriscos” could be attributed to the artist, with the remaining 20% being AI.

]]>Okocha recently gave his Instagram followers a tour of an apartment in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood that is in the running for having the “worst layout” he ever seen.
Right off the bat, it becomes obvious that whoever designed the apartment didn’t have comfort in mind. The shower is shockingly close to the front door while also being basically part of the kitchen. To make it worse, it isn’t actually a shower but a small semi-open cubicle with a shower head planted on the wall and a drain on the floor.
Furthermore, the toilet doesn’t have a sink or a light, while the kitchen looks like it was randomly put together in the worst place possible. But that isn’t the best part. Despite everything, the owner still feels comfortable asking for a whopping price of $3,495 per month.
It is safe to say that internet users were shocked by what they’ve seen and made sure to show it in the comments section.
“Jail for everyone involved,” one user commented.
“That price doesn’t leave much leftover for therapy because of the depression you’ll get for living here,” another added.

]]>Frost is engaged in lots of other projects, including creating kids’ books, but the part of his creative output that we really enjoy are the simple animations he shares on social media.
The artist’s Instagram profile is full of short clips that are created in a simple manner but are so captivating that you can’t take your eyes off them.
For example, one of his animations shows a human-like figure dancing between flying swords. And as many times you see the loop, you are impressed with the elegance of the figure and its ability to avoid the sharp edges.
Another animation shows the amazing versatility of a banana. For example, it can be used as a seesaw, skateboard, bike wheel, and much more.
According to Frost, he approaches his animated videos, which he calls “idiotic zen poetry,” similarly to the way comedians approach one-liner jokes. He believes they are crafted in a way that every line fits perfectly together, and removing just one would ruin the entire joke.

Every brick, ranging from bigger to smaller pieces and even LEGO figurines, imitates the stroke of a brush, coming together to form images of cars, fashion items like watches and sneakers, logos, and even portraits of celebrities like Michael Jordan, Bruce Springsteen, and Daft Punk.
When finished, these LEGO paintings are then framed and signed like traditional artworks. As such, M’BricK’s works are exhibited in galleries in his native France and have also been popular among art collectors.
“I am a former professional sportsman turned artist who expresses himself mainly through a game that rocked our childhood, and that of several generations, I think each of us, had some in our hands: LEGO,” M’BricK shares on his website, where he also makes his works available for purchase.

]]>The first model is inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa, “which is arguably the most famous Ukiyo-e piece ever created. It features Hokusai’s masterpiece printed on the inner and outer sides of white All-Star hi-tops.
The second model has motifs from Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s “Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre. “Print of gashadokoro, giant skeleton commonly featured in Japanese folklore, is placed on the outer sides of black All-Star hi-tops.
These unique All-Stars are currently available on the official Japanese website of Converse. They come at a price of around $80.
Ukiyo-e, which featured extensive use of woodblock prints, was particularly popular in Japan from the 17th century through the 19th century. Artists creating Ukiyo-e art covered a wide range of subjects, including depictions of historical events, landscapes, folklore, and scenes from everyday life.
Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is part of the artist’s large series titled Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It was created in 1831 and is often recognized as the greatest artwork in Japanese history. It is estimated that 8,000 copies were originally printed, but only 200 survived to date.
Kuniyoshi created “Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre” between 1843 and 1847. It shows a scene from the Story of Utö Yasutaka, written by poet Santö Kyöden, in which Princess Takiyasha reads a scroll to summon Gashadokuro, hoping it will protect her from monsters.
