The post Miniatures Artist Recreates Sets From Popular TV Shows appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>McCarty has impressive attention to detail that allows her to recreate all-things real-life into miniature pieces. This is best seen in her recent series of works that saw her rebuild sets from popular TV shows like Friends, Seinfeld, the Big Bang Theory, and more.
For example, in recreating Monica’s apartment from the iconic sitcom Friends, McCarty left no room for error. She not only fully furnished her kitchen with utensils, cookware, and food, but she also went one step further and made matching artworks and picture frames. Even the peephole on the apartment door has a characteristic yellow ring to make the recreation 100 percent accurate.
The artist reveals that she developed a fascination with miniatures thanks to her grandmother, who loved to collect figurines. While in high school, McCarty started making her own miniature pieces and occasionally sold them at conventions. The demand was surprisingly high, and when she turned 22, she decided to make it her full job.
“Creating miniatures can really take you away to another world,” McCarty explains. “My ideas can be found everywhere—from my favorite TV shows to theme parks.”
Check out more of her works below.

]]>Asteroid City is set in a fictional desert town that was built from scratch in Spain. After filming wrapped up, the original sets, props, costumes, and artwork were taken to London’s 180 Studios for a one-of-a-kind exhibition that is a must-visit for every fan of Anderson’s work.
Besides the sets and accompanying content, like audio and visual clips from the movie, the visitors will be able to have food and drinks at the movie’s Luncheonette diner, which was built on-site. There is also a shop offering all sorts of Asteroid City merch, including T-shirts, original screenplay copy, pin badges, and vinyl with the movie’s soundtrack.
The exhibition has seen an outstanding response, with tickets selling out fast. It won’t stay in London for a long time, ending on July 8, so if you have the opportunity, make sure to use it. There is still no word whether the exhibition will visit the US or other European cities.

]]>Others, like Alex Zane and his daughter Matilda, started exciting projects that became huge on social media.
Zane and Matilda is the duo behind the viral Instagram page Tot for Tot Remakes, which features recreations of iconic scenes from movies. Zane is responsible for the behind-the-scenes work and logistics, while five-year-old Matilda is the star of the show. Together, they produce charming shots beloved by tens of thousands of people from around the globe.
In a recent interview with Movie Metropolis, Zane revealed that this intriguing project came together accidentally. Matilda was trying to surf a small plastic car one day and he was immediately reminded of the scene from the 1985 movie Teen Wolf. Zane snapped a photo shared it on social media alongside the original, and the rest is history.
Since then, the two recreated more than 100 different scenes from classics like The Shining, Die Hard, Shawshank Redemption, and The Matrix. They intend to do much more as the project is fun for both and is helping them create a stronger bond. Check out more of their recreations below.

]]>The majority of us had to spend some time in quarantine in the past year or so. The experience was different for everyone and had both its good and bad moments.
Besides staying healthy, the good moments also included the ability to be more with our families, focus more on hobbies, learn new skills, and catch up on books, movies, and TV series that we didn’t have time to finish before.
Everyone had their own way of coping with quarantine but did you ever wonder what would happen if fantasy characters were stuck in the same situation? Well, the illustrations from Italian cartoonists Lorenza Di Sepio and Marco Barretta, better known as Simple&Madama, explore that scenario.
The duo decided to create a series of adorable artworks that show how Disney princesses spent their time in quarantine. For example, Elsa and Anna from Frozen played video games while Star Wars‘ Princess Leia was occupied with working on her Millennium Falcon LEGO set.
You can check out these and more Disney princesses in quarantine below.

]]>While this is an amazing thing in its own right, Google recently decided to make Google Earth somehow even more awesome by adding time travel.
With its biggest update since 2017, Google Earth now enables users to witness how certain locations on our planet have changed over the years. The software giant combined 24 million satellite photos taken since 1984 to create “an interactive 4D experience” and simulate the passage of time.
While Google Earth Timelapse is a great way to have some fun and explore the world surrounding us, it can also serve as a painful reminder of how drastically humans altered the planet. You can see our negative impact through changing landscapes, draining lakes, deforestation, and melting icecaps.
Google plans to update the Google Earth Timelapse annually with new images throughout the next decade. This way, it will be possible to see whether humans have learned their lesson.
In the meantime, you can watch one of the Timelapse videos created by Google via the YouTube playlist below.

]]>The post Star Wars Characters Invade Classical Art Pieces in These Cool Illustrations appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>A few months ago, Scadarts posted an illustration of Obi-Wan Kenobi in which he reimagined the Star Wars character as some of the famous historic military generals. The creation quickly drew attention from the fans of the franchise, who responded with an overwhelmingly positive reaction.
After receiving encouraging feedback, Scadarts decided to turn this into a full project and create a series of illustrations that feature Star Wars characters invading classical artworks. This included Baby Yoda replacing Adam in Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam” and Jar Jar Binks starring in Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”
What makes his pieces so beautiful is that he’s showing how art overlaps in a multitude of ways, as well as the idea that everyone interprets movies in their own way. With his art, Scadarts is showing us what Star Wars means to him.
Check out these and more of Scadarts’ Star Wars invasions below.

]]>Located in the well-known Tokaj Wine Region, these small houses are wine cellars. As you can see, they bear a strong resemblance to “hobbit holes” that can be seen in the Tolkien trilogy films. The area, which has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002, produces one of Hungary’s best wines.
There are around 80 fairytale-looking cellars carved into Gombos Hill, made of volcanic rock, and according to some documents, these triangular objects belong to each house in a village called Hercegkut.
The temperature in the cellars varies between 50-52 °F and the mold that covers the cellars helps to maintain the centuries-old quality of Tokaji wines.
If you ever consider visiting Hungary, you shouldn’t miss these picturesque landscapes and objects protruding from the hills.
The fact that it’s a place where wine is kept is yet another way that it can be compared to that of the Shire. After all, if there’s one activity that hobbits love engaging in, it’s drinking alcohol and having a merry old time.

]]>But if there’s one original witch that can actually produce food out of thin air it’s J.K. Rowling herself. All seven of the Harry Potter books are filled with mouthwatering references to food, starting with Dudley Dursley’s Knickerbocker Glory and ending with Cauldron Cakes. And then there’s the fan-favorite Butterbeer, consisting of a cream soda-meets-butterscotch flavor and a sweet whipped topping.
And while you can’t actually taste the Harry Potter books, many have tried to recreate the magic. For one thing, there’s the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios where even us muggles can visit Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. The tasty British fare includes dishes like The Great Feast, Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Beef Pasties, Turkey Legs, and Fresh Vegetables.
There’s also the famous Butterbeer. “We found out very, very quickly when we opened that Butterbeer was definitely an overnight homerun,” admitted the corporate executive chef of Universal Orlando Parks and Resorts, Steven Jayson, in an interview with USAtoday. “Hands down, that’s the one thing that we’ve created here at Universal Orlando that stands alone.”
With most of us homebound, you can now experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter even through Instagram, with a fan dedicated Instagram account documenting the theme park with its many book-inspired treats.
Hunger managed!
