]]> Cats and dogs go viral on TikTok and Instagram all the time, but it’s a true rarity for birds to do the same. That didn’t stop Mr. Beau Jangles from becoming a true social media sensation and he’s breaking the bird ceiling with his hilarious adventures every day.

With over 325,000 followers on TikTok and an additional 115,000 on Instagram, Beau Jangles is one of the most popular parrots on social media. His TikTok page describes him as “just a parrot doing parrot things”, and he’s actually a cockatoo with fluffy white feathers and a striking orange crest.

Beau’s owners are based in Calabasas, California and he’s been with them for 16 years. They welcomed more animals into their home in the meantime, including two boxers and one tortoise, and it’s truly amazing to see them all having fun adventures together.

Beau is one of those animals who make mundane things seem fun, and he gets thousands of views for simply eating food, walking up the stairs, or playing with new toys. The real magic happens when he joins forces with his owner, and it’s fun to see them do everything from skateboarding and playing games together to having screeching matches around the house.

]]> We can all agree that any artwork featuring dogs is probably amazing. But this isn’t the only thing that makes the works of Misato Sano impressive.

This Japanese sculptor creates adorable dog sculptures from wood, accurately replicating various dog breeds, including fluffy poodles, and plush pugs. Sano’s works also include the traits these dogs are famous for, like panting tongues and expressions of playfulness, joy, or curiosity.

Sano is inspired by man’s best friend even when she engages in other art disciplines besides sculpting. During winter, she turns to embroidery and continues to feature dogs as the main subjects of her artworks.

“I have used dogs in my work to express the various facets of femininity (some of them are based on female statues I personally admire).” – Sano explains on her website. “Dogs are always loyal to their masters. I make my work with the hope touchstart they will also nuzzle up to their audience.”

In a recent interview, Sano added that the dog sculptures and other art she makes are actually self-portraits to some extent. She told Colossal that her works are about “myself looking at myself” and that the form of dogs is an effective method to “materialize what I think of my inner self.”

Sano’s dog sculptures are no stranger to going on tours and being featured in exhibitions all over the world. If you can’t wait for them to get to your city, check out more photos below.

]]> The loyalty of dogs knows no boundaries, and they stick with their humans no matter what. Even if they get separated for one reason or another, doggos never lose hope for a reunion. Just take a look at Vaguito, an adorable canine from Punta Negra, Peru, who sits at the beach every day waiting for his fisherman owner to return.

Vaguito’s story became viral thanks to Twitter user Jolie Mejia, who recently spent time in Punta Negra with her family. According to Mejia, they were taking a walk along the shore when they met Vaguito. The dog seemed well-taken care of, but his owner was nowhere to be found. So she proceeded to pet him and found him very friendly, although she noticed the dog was frequently looking to the ocean.

Mejia set on a quest to find more about the dog and quickly found a local who told her a heartbreaking story. As it turns out, Vaguito’s owner was a fisherman who died a while ago. But despite this, the dog has been coming to the beach every day and watching at the ocean, hoping his human will return someday.

After Mejia’s tweet went viral, several other Twitter users said they knew about the dog and shared more of his photos.

According to Mejia, while Vaguito’s owner is not around anymore, the dog still receives a lot of love. Locals feed him and keep him clean while a woman living nearby shelters him and makes sure he receives health care when needed.

]]> Sweden could become the first country in the world to have a cleaning crew entirely made out of crows. At least that’s the idea behind a Corvid Cleaning project, which aims to train crows to pick up trash from the streets in exchange for food.

The project is currently in its early phases and is being tested in the city of Södertälje. The crows are being taught to pick up cigarettes butts and bring them to a designated container. Each time they do that, they get rewarded with peanuts.  

Christian Günther-Hanssen, the man behind Corvid Cleaning, envisions that this project could cut the costs of street cleaning for the city and help them use funds in other areas of need. Sweden has a significant issue with cigarette butts, which make up an estimated 60% of all the litter in the country.

“The estimation for the cost of picking up cigarette butts today is around 80 öre ($0.09) or more per cigarette butt, some say 2 Krona ($0.22),” Günther-Hanssen explains. “If the crows pick up cigarette butts, this would maybe be 20 öre ($0.023) per cigarette butt. The saving for the municipality depends on how many cigarette butts the crows pick up.”

The idea might seem far-fetched to some, but a video of crows in action shared by Günther-Hanssen shows otherwise. 

However, before the project takes off, several more steps need to be covered. One of them is doing a study related to concerns about the negative impact of cigarette butts on crows.

“An important part of the upcoming pilot test is to monitor the levels of compounds in the birds, in order to remove the unknowns,” Günther-Hanssen adds. “Should any reach dangerous levels the project will be modified to exclude any items containing those compounds.”

]]> Have you ever wondered what you get when you combine colorful birds and makeup? Probably not, but we will still tell you the funny secret: the answer is The Pansy Project—a makeup look inspired by drawn birds.

According to Paul Harfleet, the founder of the project, the idea to make a compilation of drawn feathered friends began in April 2020 when the lockdown was announced.

Dearest #BirdLovers. Here in my continuing series where I 'gently reference' the birds I've drawn in #Lockdown is the #Lapwing. So many of you requested I draw and channel this bird. It's such a lovable and elegiac bird, sadly with declining populations, and the reason for my wistful expression here. This birds says 'Sunday' to me, and is reminiscent of my dreaded return to school, as I wrote about in #PansyBoy… "As birds flew by, he learned to love, kestrel lapwing and collared dove" – You can see me recite the entire book here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=283&v=XC-_SdlFxF8&feature=emb_logo And for the curious you can see the print here: https://thepansyproject.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/northern-lapwing Thanks again for all your lovely comments – #BirdsCanFly

A post shared by The Pansy Project (@thepansyproject) on

“As I sat in my apartment overlooking a clearer, quieter London skyline, I noticed the birds more than ever and my passion for ornithology re-emerged,” the artist shared on Bored Panda and added that he began drawing birds he could see from his window.

To promote his work on social media, he came up with a fantastic idea; he began dressing up like his feathered friends. “These humorous and light-hearted shoots used my own wardrobe and makeup skills and became an intrinsic component of a project that has become known as Birds Can Fly,” he added.

If you are interested to see a real-life “birdman” check out the gallery below. Which look is your favorite?

Dearest #Birdlovers – Here's a bird that took an age to draw, its incredibly detailed plumage is iridescent so very complex to colour too. This was such a common sight during my childhood, sadly they're on the decline in the UK and are on the 'red' list according to @rspb_love_nature – "Red is the highest conservation priority, with species needing urgent action"… it's a different story in America, in 1890 about 100 #Starlings were introduced in to Central Park in New York. They are now one of the most abundant birds in North America. This continues the series I call #BirdsCanFly, where I also 'gently reference' the birds I've drawn in #Lockdown. For those that may be so inclined, there's a print available of the Starling, here on my shop: [https://thepansyproject.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/starling]

Good Morning #BirdLovers. At the start of #Lockdown, when I began to draw birds to comfort my own anxiety in the swirling depths of the pandemic, this was the first bird I drew. I had drawn #BlueTits in flight, for my book; #PansyBoy as I have always loved these jolly little birds. As the #BirdsCanFly project has evolved, I have been delighted that this work has been so loved. Lots of you have asked about a book of #BirdsCanFly and I can confirm that I'm working on it, I am busy writing, designing and working out the very best way to bring this bizarre collection to your lovely little eyes. I will of course keep you posted. As ever I am so very grateful for you 'loves' 'likes' 'comments' and 'shares' – Please do keep on #sharing as it might just help me get a book further into the world… With love Paul x

]]> 5-year-old dachshund Harley (AKA Harlso the Balancing Hound) is an internet sensation thanks to his amazing balancing act. With more than 50 million views (!) on his social media pages, it seems like there’s nothing this adorable pooch can’t balance on his head.

“He loves balancing,” assure his owners in an interview with BBC News. “Some people message saying that he looks sad… but that’s just his face! Its how they look! He loves it.” According to his humans, “Its all a bit of fun, but if any of the readers want to suggest something, he’ll give anything a go.”

Some of his viral photos include him balancing rubber ducks, a pile of donuts, and a hotdog. But it all started with a toy chicken. “My talent was unearthed by chance that night,” reads a blog post on Harley’s website. “I made dad throw my favorite toy chicken 34628193 times until he could throw no more. (1-0 Harlso). He thought it would be funny to balance it on my head… little did he know, I’ve a head flatter than his jokes. Sometimes he uses them to caption my posts… DAD JOKES… how embarrassing.”

Indeed, Harley’s owners say he has the perfect, flattest head. “He can’t do any normal tricks, sit or anything. Balancing things on his head is the only thing he can do.” Good boy Harley!

]]> With 20k followers on Instagram, George Tonks has made quite a splash within the illustration community. Recognized for his quirky animal illustrations, his inspiration mainly comes from watching nature documentaries, such as David Attenborough’s Planet Earth and Blue Planet. But unlike nature documentaries, his work isn’t meant to be realistic.

Quite the opposite. According to Tonks, he deliberately exaggerates certain features or parts of the animal anatomy, which makes them more cartoonish and therefore, more enjoyable. Having a distinguishable silhouette is key in character illustrations, says Tonks.

But in order to exaggerate his characters, he first has to understand their anatomy properly. This, Tonks does through animal observations, as well as studying other illustrators. Using ProCreate, he then creates his characters through a series of mark making, adding texture and body.

Based in Bournemouth, Tonks also runs an Etsy store where you can find prints of his work at a reasonable price. You can also enjoy he work from afar, by following him on Instagram.

]]> When scrolling through Ploypisut Chueobchoey’s illustrations one thing is evident: her love of flowers. In some of her works, the flowers are the focal point, while in other works they serve to frame the main character—a woman or animal. Whatever the case is, the end result is colorful, cheerful, and forever in bloom.

A freelance illustrator and surface designer based in Bangkok, Thailand, she draws her inspiration mainly from Asian folklore, focusing mainly on themes that include flora and fauna.

“Thailand is a wonderful country to live in,” said Chueobchoey in an interview with Lake. “I was born and raised in a Thai-Chinese family. I am originally from a small town in the countryside of Thailand. I am influenced by the integration into two cultures. That has inspired me in some way and I would like to include it into my illustrations.”

After graduating with a BFA Communication Design, Chueobchoey moved to the US to continue her studies. “It was quite a challenging experience living alone in the US for a year,” she admits. “It was fun and I have learned to deal with anything by myself. At that time I had no clue about what I wanted to be. So, I took a short course at the Academy of Art University. And I figured out I wanted to be an illustrator.”

So she returned to Thailand, where she first worked in graphic design before transitioning into a freelance illustrator and surface designer. Now committed to illustrating, Chueobchoey works mostly with watercolors but also employs gouache and ink to create her illustrations and floral patterns.

Born in Japan and currently based in Melbourne, Australia, Imazu’s chosen mediums include printmaking, papercut, puppetry, and installation, as well as bookbinding and ceramics, with animal imagery a common thread throughout her work.

Both real and surreal, her illustrations include animals found in Japanese folklore, as well as realistic recreations of insects and rodents. “I like mixing real and mythical animals together because I love imagining what it was like to live in the world before all animals were named and categorized,” says Imazu. “There was a time when rhinos were as fantastical as unicorns.”

According to Imazu, her inspiration comes from stories, as well as memories and myth. “Similarly, I encourage viewers to bring their own memories and associations to my work,” she notes. “They can decide if it’s personal or political.”

]]> Now, more than ever before, home is where the heart is. Its also where the rest of our bodies are. As such, we’re reminded of the importance of keeping our environment both inviting and inspiring – a place that can spark our imagination and one that reflects our personality.

Elena Zaycman’s glass sculptures will add a playful twist to your home. Centered around the natural world, they feature butterflies, moths, and plants, made using the Tiffany technique. Based in Saint Petersburg, Zaycman sells her unique pieces through her Etsy shop.

“When I began working independently, I started with small suspended pieces,” she shared in an interview with the Etsy blog, “but I wanted to take the idea of hassle-free installation even further and create something where people wouldn’t need to worry about nails or drilling holes in walls.”

Her solution? Attach the stained-glass pieces to brass bars, achieving independent objects that can easily be brought into peoples’ homes, with no hassle of actually hanging them. Naturally, the quality of the materials is equally important when it comes to their design. “I measure the quality of the glass not only visually, checking for color and cleanliness—or the lack of any extra coating—but also by touching,” says Zaycman. “Glass should be pleasant and smooth.”

After Mejia’s tweet went viral, several other Twitter users said they knew about the dog and shared more of his photos.

According to Mejia, while Vaguito’s owner is not around anymore, the dog still receives a lot of love. Locals feed him and keep him clean while a woman living nearby shelters him and makes sure he receives health care when needed.

]]> Sweden could become the first country in the world to have a cleaning crew entirely made out of crows. At least that’s the idea behind a Corvid Cleaning project, which aims to train crows to pick up trash from the streets in exchange for food.

The project is currently in its early phases and is being tested in the city of Södertälje. The crows are being taught to pick up cigarettes butts and bring them to a designated container. Each time they do that, they get rewarded with peanuts.  

Christian Günther-Hanssen, the man behind Corvid Cleaning, envisions that this project could cut the costs of street cleaning for the city and help them use funds in other areas of need. Sweden has a significant issue with cigarette butts, which make up an estimated 60% of all the litter in the country.

“The estimation for the cost of picking up cigarette butts today is around 80 öre ($0.09) or more per cigarette butt, some say 2 Krona ($0.22),” Günther-Hanssen explains. “If the crows pick up cigarette butts, this would maybe be 20 öre ($0.023) per cigarette butt. The saving for the municipality depends on how many cigarette butts the crows pick up.”

The idea might seem far-fetched to some, but a video of crows in action shared by Günther-Hanssen shows otherwise. 

However, before the project takes off, several more steps need to be covered. One of them is doing a study related to concerns about the negative impact of cigarette butts on crows.

“An important part of the upcoming pilot test is to monitor the levels of compounds in the birds, in order to remove the unknowns,” Günther-Hanssen adds. “Should any reach dangerous levels the project will be modified to exclude any items containing those compounds.”

]]> Have you ever wondered what you get when you combine colorful birds and makeup? Probably not, but we will still tell you the funny secret: the answer is The Pansy Project—a makeup look inspired by drawn birds.

According to Paul Harfleet, the founder of the project, the idea to make a compilation of drawn feathered friends began in April 2020 when the lockdown was announced.

Dearest #BirdLovers. Here in my continuing series where I 'gently reference' the birds I've drawn in #Lockdown is the #Lapwing. So many of you requested I draw and channel this bird. It's such a lovable and elegiac bird, sadly with declining populations, and the reason for my wistful expression here. This birds says 'Sunday' to me, and is reminiscent of my dreaded return to school, as I wrote about in #PansyBoy… "As birds flew by, he learned to love, kestrel lapwing and collared dove" – You can see me recite the entire book here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=283&v=XC-_SdlFxF8&feature=emb_logo And for the curious you can see the print here: https://thepansyproject.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/northern-lapwing Thanks again for all your lovely comments – #BirdsCanFly

“As I sat in my apartment overlooking a clearer, quieter London skyline, I noticed the birds more than ever and my passion for ornithology re-emerged,” the artist shared on Bored Panda and added that he began drawing birds he could see from his window.

To promote his work on social media, he came up with a fantastic idea; he began dressing up like his feathered friends. “These humorous and light-hearted shoots used my own wardrobe and makeup skills and became an intrinsic component of a project that has become known as Birds Can Fly,” he added.

Dearest #Birdlovers – Here's a bird that took an age to draw, its incredibly detailed plumage is iridescent so very complex to colour too. This was such a common sight during my childhood, sadly they're on the decline in the UK and are on the 'red' list according to @rspb_love_nature – "Red is the highest conservation priority, with species needing urgent action"… it's a different story in America, in 1890 about 100 #Starlings were introduced in to Central Park in New York. They are now one of the most abundant birds in North America. This continues the series I call #BirdsCanFly, where I also 'gently reference' the birds I've drawn in #Lockdown. For those that may be so inclined, there's a print available of the Starling, here on my shop: [https://thepansyproject.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/starling]

Good Morning #BirdLovers. At the start of #Lockdown, when I began to draw birds to comfort my own anxiety in the swirling depths of the pandemic, this was the first bird I drew. I had drawn #BlueTits in flight, for my book; #PansyBoy as I have always loved these jolly little birds. As the #BirdsCanFly project has evolved, I have been delighted that this work has been so loved. Lots of you have asked about a book of #BirdsCanFly and I can confirm that I'm working on it, I am busy writing, designing and working out the very best way to bring this bizarre collection to your lovely little eyes. I will of course keep you posted. As ever I am so very grateful for you 'loves' 'likes' 'comments' and 'shares' – Please do keep on #sharing as it might just help me get a book further into the world… With love Paul x

]]> 5-year-old dachshund Harley (AKA Harlso the Balancing Hound) is an internet sensation thanks to his amazing balancing act. With more than 50 million views (!) on his social media pages, it seems like there’s nothing this adorable pooch can’t balance on his head.

“He loves balancing,” assure his owners in an interview with BBC News. “Some people message saying that he looks sad… but that’s just his face! Its how they look! He loves it.” According to his humans, “Its all a bit of fun, but if any of the readers want to suggest something, he’ll give anything a go.”

Some of his viral photos include him balancing rubber ducks, a pile of donuts, and a hotdog. But it all started with a toy chicken. “My talent was unearthed by chance that night,” reads a blog post on Harley’s website. “I made dad throw my favorite toy chicken 34628193 times until he could throw no more. (1-0 Harlso). He thought it would be funny to balance it on my head… little did he know, I’ve a head flatter than his jokes. Sometimes he uses them to caption my posts… DAD JOKES… how embarrassing.”

Indeed, Harley’s owners say he has the perfect, flattest head. “He can’t do any normal tricks, sit or anything. Balancing things on his head is the only thing he can do.” Good boy Harley!

]]> With 20k followers on Instagram, George Tonks has made quite a splash within the illustration community. Recognized for his quirky animal illustrations, his inspiration mainly comes from watching nature documentaries, such as David Attenborough’s Planet Earth and Blue Planet. But unlike nature documentaries, his work isn’t meant to be realistic.

Quite the opposite. According to Tonks, he deliberately exaggerates certain features or parts of the animal anatomy, which makes them more cartoonish and therefore, more enjoyable. Having a distinguishable silhouette is key in character illustrations, says Tonks.

But in order to exaggerate his characters, he first has to understand their anatomy properly. This, Tonks does through animal observations, as well as studying other illustrators. Using ProCreate, he then creates his characters through a series of mark making, adding texture and body.

Based in Bournemouth, Tonks also runs an Etsy store where you can find prints of his work at a reasonable price. You can also enjoy he work from afar, by following him on Instagram.

]]> When scrolling through Ploypisut Chueobchoey’s illustrations one thing is evident: her love of flowers. In some of her works, the flowers are the focal point, while in other works they serve to frame the main character—a woman or animal. Whatever the case is, the end result is colorful, cheerful, and forever in bloom.

A freelance illustrator and surface designer based in Bangkok, Thailand, she draws her inspiration mainly from Asian folklore, focusing mainly on themes that include flora and fauna.

“Thailand is a wonderful country to live in,” said Chueobchoey in an interview with Lake. “I was born and raised in a Thai-Chinese family. I am originally from a small town in the countryside of Thailand. I am influenced by the integration into two cultures. That has inspired me in some way and I would like to include it into my illustrations.”

After graduating with a BFA Communication Design, Chueobchoey moved to the US to continue her studies. “It was quite a challenging experience living alone in the US for a year,” she admits. “It was fun and I have learned to deal with anything by myself. At that time I had no clue about what I wanted to be. So, I took a short course at the Academy of Art University. And I figured out I wanted to be an illustrator.”

So she returned to Thailand, where she first worked in graphic design before transitioning into a freelance illustrator and surface designer. Now committed to illustrating, Chueobchoey works mostly with watercolors but also employs gouache and ink to create her illustrations and floral patterns.

]]> Drawing comes naturally to Kyoko Imazu, and even more specifically: drawing animals. “Images of animals have always given me pleasure and excitement, and I have always loved drawing animals,” she observed once in an interview with OtherPeoplesPixels. “In fact, I don’t remember any time when I wasn’t drawing animals, even as doodles in textbooks at school or on letters.”

Born in Japan and currently based in Melbourne, Australia, Imazu’s chosen mediums include printmaking, papercut, puppetry, and installation, as well as bookbinding and ceramics, with animal imagery a common thread throughout her work.

Both real and surreal, her illustrations include animals found in Japanese folklore, as well as realistic recreations of insects and rodents. “I like mixing real and mythical animals together because I love imagining what it was like to live in the world before all animals were named and categorized,” says Imazu. “There was a time when rhinos were as fantastical as unicorns.”

According to Imazu, her inspiration comes from stories, as well as memories and myth. “Similarly, I encourage viewers to bring their own memories and associations to my work,” she notes. “They can decide if it’s personal or political.”

]]> Now, more than ever before, home is where the heart is. Its also where the rest of our bodies are. As such, we’re reminded of the importance of keeping our environment both inviting and inspiring – a place that can spark our imagination and one that reflects our personality.

Elena Zaycman’s glass sculptures will add a playful twist to your home. Centered around the natural world, they feature butterflies, moths, and plants, made using the Tiffany technique. Based in Saint Petersburg, Zaycman sells her unique pieces through her Etsy shop.

“When I began working independently, I started with small suspended pieces,” she shared in an interview with the Etsy blog, “but I wanted to take the idea of hassle-free installation even further and create something where people wouldn’t need to worry about nails or drilling holes in walls.”

Her solution? Attach the stained-glass pieces to brass bars, achieving independent objects that can easily be brought into peoples’ homes, with no hassle of actually hanging them. Naturally, the quality of the materials is equally important when it comes to their design. “I measure the quality of the glass not only visually, checking for color and cleanliness—or the lack of any extra coating—but also by touching,” says Zaycman. “Glass should be pleasant and smooth.”

побывала в двух стекольных магазинах Финляндии – в Хельсинки и Лапенранте. до этого думала, что в Питере бедный выбор, а нет! 🤷 в Хельсинки Uroboros лучше представлен, а вот Spectrum намного меньше, чем у нас. в Лаппенранте только Spectrum. если кому-то нужны адреса, спрашивайте! 😉 теперь хочу пошопиться в Берлинских магазинах. __________ spent two days in Finland – checked out two stained glass shops: one in Helsinki and another one in Lappeenranta. thanks to @nettikatti for the addresses 🙏 found some interesting Uroboros pieces and found out that Spectrum is surprisingly better displayed in Petersburg. 🤷 next stop – Berlin, hope this summer. 🌳🌾 ___________ photo by @spisomnoy #elenazaycman
