Going green never looked this good

A group of architects wanted to figure out a way to implement more nature into a sprawling Parisian cityscape, so they came up with this unique residential building. It is stunning to look at, and aside from its dense vegetation, the structure will run completely on renewable energy.

The concept of the design was to create "a floating village in the middle of a forest"—a building lined with a thousand trees, complete with a park, pedestrian walkways, restaurants, shops and small single-family homes and apartments. Construction is planned to begin in the next two years and finish in 2022.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

This is from the 1995 CMA Awards. I'm not a huge fan of country music and I wasn't a huge fan of that show…but I couldn't resist Shania Twain singing Any Man of Mine.
