Pop culture meets classic paintings

Eisen Bernardo is a Filipino graphic artist, multimedia producer and writer that I came across about a year ago. He is known for superimposing magazine covers, album artworks, logos, and DVD covers into classic paintings, creating quirky mash-ups of modern and old-fashioned art. It's time-consuming, because Eisen had to scour through countless collections of artworks and paintings to find the right match.

Some of his works include a Vanity Fair cover featuring Miley Cyrus cleverly combined with the Portrait of Madame Récamier, a painting by French artist Jacques-Louis David. An album cover starring Sky Ferreira was also superimposed on Henry Robert Morland's A Lady's Maid Soaping Linen. Check out some of his interesting mash-ups below, and be sure to see all of his various collections here.

If you're into mash-ups, you might also want to check out Kim at the Museum.

Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]

Experiencing Flight Through an Eagle's Eyes

Have you ever looked up and wondered, "What does it feel like to soar majestically like an eagle?" This video offers a captivating glimpse. Expert bird handler Lloyd Buck attached a small 360-degree camera and a GPS tracker directly to the back of one of these magnificent predatory birds. The entire setup creates a stunning, first-person virtual reality experience—only this one is real and features a creature with an impressively large wingspan. However, this isn't just for cool footage. The real mission is to capture valuable scientific data: examining how quickly an eagle can gain altitude and precisely how its incredible wings are adapted to achieve such breathtaking, effortless lift.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
