A migrating wildebeest leaps into the low waters of the Mara River in Tanzania. Wildebeests begin their annual migration at the edge of the Serengeti Plains. On their enormous loop following seasonal rains, the more than 1.5 million animals encounter deadly crossings like this one at the Mara, infamous home of the giant Nile crocodile.

What you’re looking at is not a discarded cigarette package, it’s a detailed painting by artist Tom Pfannerstill on a carved piece of basswood. His artworks are made based on objects he finds in the street, which he carefully catalogs, noting the time and place of each. These re-created artifacts act as a very personal record of his movements through time and space. For him, creating these 3D memories is “strangely comforting in a world that is increasingly electronic and virtual”.

The cinemagraph genre is one of the most exciting to follow because, unlike almost every other type of “photography” (in quotes since you they aren’t photos in the traditional sense of the word), it’s not yet oversaturated with phenomenal work.

Almost everywhere you turn you’ll find a great street photographer, or landscape photographer, or fine art photographer. But when you stumble across a master at creating cinemagraphs, he or she is one of only a handful. Julien Douvier is one such photographer.

As you might remember, earlier this month we featured a number of Douvier’s cinemagraphs of moving water.

Douvier is based out of Strasbourg, France, and his ability to combine well-crafted photographic compositions with just a touch of motion somewhere in the frame makes his cinemagraphs some of the most compelling we’ve run across.

Not limited by one genre, his photographs range from landscapes and nature scenes to street photography, sometimes augmented by only the slightest bit of motion, and at other times completely wrapped up by it. Below are some of our favorites from his sizable cinemagraph portfolio:

To see more of Douvier’s work or follow along as he creates more, head over to his website or give him a follow on Tumblr and Behance.

The future bullies its way into the traditional European countryside in German artist Jakub Rozalski's dystopian paintings. (more…)

All this horror reminds me of a really good student film from earlier this year that is worth a watch: "There's a Man in the Woods."

Should’ve gone with the cloak of intelligence brah.

Here’s one from the archives I always liked!

As a reminder, I’ll working on my book and some other things behind the scenes for another few weeks, so I’ll only be posting one new strip a week ‘til then!

Reblog for the night crew ok ok I’m done have a good weekend!

Spanish artist Pejac has never been a man contained by the borders of a canvas; his art, often silhouette based, bleeds out of frames and into the real world.

Most of the time, this feat is achieved with nothing more than a disregard for those borders, but one of his series of works instead used forced perspective photography to achieve the same effect and create the illusion that his whimsical silhouettes were playing with the world outside his window.

These forced perspective photographs caught the public’s eye when Pejac posted the picture above to his Facebook. It was a tribute to French high-wire walker, Philippe Petit, created in honor of the 40th anniversary of Petit’s legendary walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and people were enamored with it.

The magazine Hi-Fructose got in touch with the artist to inquire about it and, as it turns out, this wasn’t his first experiment with forced perspective photography and window silhouettes. In 2011 he created more of these illusions while living in an apartment surrounded by security cameras in Valencia.

Those images, along with the few he created as a tribute to the iconic Petit, are included in the gallery below:

And here are a few behind the scenes photos that show the artist at work, and the photography setup:

To see more of Pejac’s work — and trust us when we say it is truly stunning, even when it doesn’t have a photographic element — be sure to visit his website and give him a follow on Facebook and Instagram.
