Driving too Fast

My mom sent me this. I thought it was funny.

Where does this image come from?

Catching Lightning in a bottle

I first saw this image about 10 years ago. I’m not sure, but I think it was on the user manuals for the 3D package, Maya. Today, I came across it again, and I was reminded of how much I like it. I can’t seem to find a high res version, or any information on where it came from.

If anyone has any info about this image, please drop a comment on this post.

UPDATE: Thanks go out to Jarret for leaving a comment with a possible origin of the image. It was used on the cover of a book called Digital wizardry : creative Photoshop techniques, published in 1998. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this book, and I’m almost certain I saw the image prior to 1998, so I’m wondering if this was the first usage, or if it was created for something else. If anyone else has any info, let me know.

Hand Painted Elephant? Or… Elephant Painted Hand?

Elephant painted on hand

I came across this image over at Hedonistica. There isn’t any information on who did it, or where it came from, but I thought it looked really cool.

If you know who did this, drop a comment on this post.

Motorist vs Curier

This is a little off my usual set of topics, but today I came across some amazing photos of an altercation between a motorist, and a bicycle courier. This person just happened to be at the right (or wrong) place with their camera, and the results are amazing (disturbing).
