The Gold Winning Flip (book) with Simone Biles (2016 Olympics) + A Quick Usain Bolt Flipbook

Wow. What talent. This must have taken some time to create. Check out the 2nd video he did of Usain Bolt!...

Watching frame by frame...100 drawings...but still can't comprehend how a human body can move like that. Beautiful and insane! Sorry I couldn't resist the 'flip' pun on the cover page.

Watch Street Art Come To Life For Creative Surprise Proposal

A very creative surprise proposal indeed!...


Daniel Levine popped the question to Christina Cordova in the middle of a photoshoot. Artist Alexa Meade covered the couple from San Francisco head to toe in black and white paint. The idea for this type of art is to paint directly on live models to create the illusion of real-life people inside the world of a 2D painting. Surely this bride-to-be had no idea their day of fun painting the town red would end up with a ring on her finger and an artistic masterpiece to remember the day.

Sand portraits + Awesome Face Painting

Speaking of artists, check out these 2 cool vids... We don't really understand how the process actually works - like why does he cover it ALL in white sand before revealing the picture? Regardless, the results are amazing. Such talent...


These amazing paintings are made out of sand









It's one thing to do face painting on another's face but to do it on your own? And ones that look this good? All we can say is, wow!


This isn't face painting. This is face fine art.

Optical Illusion 3D Art - Patrick Hughes - Birmingham Art Gallery

Freaky! This 3D art taken from an art gallery in the UK creates the illusion of looking into 3 rooms. We've added a 2nd similar video (from a year earlier) - found at another art gallery in the UK...


This is an amazing piece of 3D art where the closest part of the picture appears to be the furthest away, an optical illusion known as "Reverspective". As you move around the painting, the room in the painting appears to move with you. The video doesn't do the painting or its effect justice.







Found at Gallery at Ice in Windsor, UK, painted by Brian Weavers


Fireworks "A stairway to heaven" by Cai Guoqiang

Great pyrotechnic art work by Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang in this 'Stairway to Heaven' footage captured in China...


In the early hours of June 15, 2015, "A stairway to heaven" lights its way to the heavens, but we'd be careful climbing this ladder as it is made of fireworks and is held up by a balloon.
Cai, an artist who often works with gunpowder, is said to have come up with the idea for this spectacle some twenty years ago. Cai had already attempted to complete this task on several occasions but never fully succeeded until recently. The occasion, Cai said, is for his grandmother who 'was born in a small fishing village in Quanzhou and sold fish to help her grandson realise his artistic dream,' the artist revealed.

Teh Tarik Man made of 20,000 teabags

We thought this was really cool and creative. An amazing teabag art is created by artist Red Hongyi (who paints without paintbrush), using 20,000 teabags to illustrate a man preparing teh tarik, ('pulled-tea' in Malay), in the background, with soft drink cans and an ice-kacang (shaved ice) machine as props in the foreground.The piece was 3.2 x 2.2 meters in size and weighed 200 kgs and the teabags were stained in 10 different shades of brown. Hongyi wanted to create a piece that reflected an everyday scene in Malaysia which also reminded her of home....

Robot artist draws giant sketch on the beach

All in the name of art! It was sure cool watching this 'robot' artist draw some giant art sketches on a beach and he'll draw yours too! By using your phone or tablet, you can send a drawing to this little robot and watch it trace the lines in the sand by dragging a rake behind it. The robot on wheels was developed by Paul Beardsley from Disney Research Zurich and his colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology...


It computes a path across the sand that approximates the artwork and sets off. A rake attached to its rear etches the pattern in the sand. Each drawing takes about 10 minutes, and the idea is that the robot could be controlled remotely, turning the beach into a digitally controlled sketchbook.
Since the robot moves on three wheels, it is better at creating smooth curves rather than sharp corners. To carve a right angle in the sand, it draws a line then lifts the rake, before using a laser scanner and an inertial sensor to reposition itself so it can trace the intersecting line. - newscientist

謳歌-Ouka- リングアーツ新作 Ringarts With Music Note


A performer who does the "floating transformation" visual art of "ring arts" with several rings.

A japanese tournament champion as a juggler and heaps of regular shows as a magician in metropolitan area bars. The choreography of the ring arts was constructed combining knowledge of juggling and magic, art and composition under collaboration with colleagues.

After a performance was posted on the video hosting website Youtube, the media made it a popular topic of conversation after it quickly reached 1 million views.



謳歌-Ouka- プロフィール
複数のリングを変形・浮遊させる視覚芸術「リングアーツ」のパフォーマー。
ディアボリスト・ジャグラーとして日本大会優勝、都内バーでマジシャンとしてレギュラー出演を重ね、ジャグリングとマジックの知識、技術、構成を組み合わせ、仲間の協力の下、リングアーツの振り付けを作り上げた。
動画投稿サイトYouTubeにこのパフォーマンス映像を投稿したところ、早々に100万再生を突破し各メディアで話題になる。
国内外のテレビ番組に多数出演し、「世界一のSHOWTIME」などで高く評価された。中でも、パフォーミングアーツを専門としたフランスの権威ある国営放送“Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde(この世で最も偉大なキャバレーショー)”に出演したことは特筆に値する。
謳歌-Ouka-のリングアーツを中心としたパフォーマンスは、その非現実的な見た目からショー主催者から「CG合成ではないか」と出演を取り消されそうになったとの逸話も残しており、ビートたけしや所ジョージからは「どこへ行っても通用する」「(我々は)見つけたね、魔法使いを」と絶賛されている。
現在はストーリー要素や即興演劇、映像との融合にも目を向け、常に新しいものを作るべく、日々研鑽を続けている。
