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.

If you're into vintage erotic art, follow Cold Meat

It's not just the pictures of celebrities in skimpy outfits that makes Instagram interesting. But if those are the only people you follow, then you are missing out. The social media platform is full of some of the most talented artists of the moment, but one account that truly caught my eye is cold___meat , which is dedicated to vintage pictures of BDSM art and erotica. The account has been cancelled several times, but it's alive and kicking and is showing no sign of slowing down. Dazed recently interviewed Daryl, the mysterious founder of Cold Meat, to learn more about his background, his fear of another shutdown, and his mission to make "formerly clandestine and underground erotica available to a wider audience."

A visit to Beijing and a stay at the Sunrise Kempinski are now on my bucket list

Located on the shore of Yanqi Lake, the Sunrise Kempinski is housed in a bold, spherical structure that looks like a scallop from a side angle. It has 306 guest rooms and suites spread across 21 floors, and is covered with more than 10,000 glass panels which are meant to reflect the hotel's surrounding mountains, forestry and lake. Chief designer Zhang Hai Ao of Shanghai Huadu Architect Design Company collaborated with a team of more than 60 individuals from around the world to build the luxurious hotel. Its construction took two years, and required 9,300 workers to complete.

Meet Gary Hug, the backyard astronomer

The small shed behind Gary Hug's home in Topeka, Kansas looks like an ordinary barn. But at night, the structure becomes an observatory, which he built himself. Gary has so far discovered 294 asteroids (according to Wikipedia ) and has tracked countless others. Check out this interview from Great Big Story , a YouTube channel dedicated to the "untold, overlooked and flat-out amazing."
