Japanese art duo creates playful installations using toy train tracks


If you have some plastic toy train tracks at home perhaps you'd like to take a stab at transforming them into one of these installations by Osaka-based art duo Paramodel.

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

Delightful photo series shows what a Stormtrooper's life on Earth looks like

How does Eric the Stormtrooper spend his time? He feeds sandwiches to the dinosaurs, dresses up as Batman, travels to beautiful places and plays the ukulele, according to these photos by Darryll Jones . The South African photographer is shooting images of his beloved action figure posed in various scenarios, either performing mundane tasks, doing awesome stuff, or just chilling around, for a project called Have You Seen Eric . Darryll's delightful photo series began after he moved to the UK from South Africa six years ago. He didn't realize how dark and cold the winter days could be and he found himself confined to the indoors, with only a few LEGO Stormtroopers as companions. "I took a little LEGO Stormtrooper down, and I used my 105mm Macro Sigma lens, and started taking a few shots of him, Darryll told the Daily Dot .
