Russian artist asks Yeti to pose for him

If Andrey Lyubchenko is to be believed, this is what the Yeti actually looks like. The Russian artist claims that he had a close encounter with an Abominable Snowman in the Siberian wilderness. What I find more intriguing is that the ape-like creature posed for him - allowing the artist to draw his picture. But why didn't he just photograph the Yeti to prove that he was telling the truth?

"I didn't have my phone with camera on me, or a camera - but I always carry a pencil and something I can draw on, this time it was a piece of birch tree bark," Lyubchenko was quoted as saying by The Siberian Times. "I made a drawing of the Yeti and showed him. The Yeti studied it really carefully for a while, and then drew a symbol next to my drawing."

When he got home, the artist sketched a more detailed image of the hairy beast, and here's the result.

"The Yeti was about two and a half metres tall, with thick dark brown hair like a bear's - but a lot softer," Lyubchenko told the newspaper. "He was holding a wooden stick, with bits of hair wrapped around it. But the main thing was his eyes, they were just like light-coloured human eyes."

The scientific community has long disputed the existence of the Abominable Snowman because of meager conclusive evidence. But several sightings of such creatures have been reported in Himalayan countries and in North America, where it is known as bigfoot.

Inside the Mind of Gil Bruvel

Just discovered Gil Bruvel's art and my mind is officially blown. He turns wood into pure motion and human forms into something otherworldly. Gil's mastery of his chosen medium is undeniable. You find yourself leaning in, squinting, trying to figure out how he does it. He's a master illusionist and he challenges us to question what we see, to look beyond the obvious, and to embrace the fluidity of existence.

More Than Just Smiles and Sunsets

Ayala Museum is currently hosting "Amorsolo: Chroma" - a spectrum of brilliance you wouldn't want to miss. It is more than just a collection of paintings; it’s an experience. It’s a masterclass in light and color, a journey into the mind of a Filipino genius, and a fresh perspective on an artist many of us thought we knew. The first thing that you will notice you when you step into "Chroma" is… well, the chroma. While Amorsolo is famed for his mastery of light, this exhibition dives deeper into his entire color palette. It’s like entering a vibrant, living spectrum. Go check it!

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...
