Nathan Ota

So I've been posting a lot of videos lately. They are easy, and I don't have to type anything really (which is better for me because I can never think of anything to write, quite horrible at describing things actually). I went to this art show a couple days ago and thought I would at least mention Nathan Ota. Ota's pop surrealism stands out for itself and each painting was absolutely incredible. Hollow-eyed birds, life-like trees, little robot dudes, swirly dunce caps, and upside down trees with underwear on them are what he excels at.  He's rad, I hope to see more of his work.

Apparently he is making toys too!  I just found his blogspot, I think I'm going to become a fan.  Ooh.

Not just your average card trick

Wow. This woman is amazing.

I was not expecting this. She's adorable, and I got really emo watching this. Try not to tear up...

Space is cool

Thanks to the folks at Space.com and Hubble, the best images from the telescope were released today.    I thought these were freaking amazing.  

"Pillars of Creation?

Undersea corral? Enchanted castles? Space serpents? On April 1, 1995, Hubble snapped this image of pillar-like structures in the Eagle nebula. These eerie, dark pillar-like structures are columns of cool, interstellar hydrogen gas and dust that serve as incubators for new stars.

There are a lot of really cool images here.  This next one is another favorite. 

Crowning Jewel: The Cone Nebula

Resembling a nightmarish beast rearing its head from a crimson sea, this celestial object is actually just a pillar of gas and dust. Called the Cone Nebula (in NGC 2264) - so named because in ground-based images it has a conical shape - this monstrous pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region. This picture, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, on May 11, 2002, shows the upper 2.5 light-years of the Cone, a height that equals 23 million roundtrips to the Moon. The entire pillar is seven light-years long.

All of the images are absolutely stunning.  Makes you think about how small and insignificant Earth is on the galactic scale.  Stars are being born and dying all over the universe.   And I wonder why it's so hard to do my laundry and go to the grocery store on a regular basis.
