Hyper-Realistic Paintings!

Believe it or not, these are all actually paintings. They are not photographs. Works by Roberto Bernardi, Eric Christensen, Steve Mills, Pedro Campos, Tom Martin, Jason Degraaf and Mark Goings.

The age of the self-shooting sweetheart is definitely upon us with a fine display of intimate self-portrait perfection. Forget the lighting, the background and just concentrate on the superb subject matter.

As my dad used to say, "let sleeping girls lie", or was that dogs, who cares! There is something mesmerizing watching a cutie cuddle up and close her eyes - I LOVE the total vulnerability of a female when she is fast asleep.

Maybe it's time to take this as a wake up call, or maybe it's just time to bury your head in more gaming and pretend it's all just fine. Just fine.

She might not be the most curvaceous of actresses but there's definitely something about her. Maybe it's the posh British accent or maybe it's just her willingness to get all dressed up as a pirate. Who knows?

Puppies, kittens, lambs, calfs, you name it - if they are the animal world's newest editions and wrapped in soft fuzzy fur then our brain switches into mushy-gooey-mode and all we want to do is cuddle them and keep them safe.

Prepare for some epic FAIL-Tat-Stik permanent skin disasters! Every single one of these is craptastic & hugely regrettable in so many ways. Remember. A tattoo isn't just for life, it's for your friends to laugh at as well.

You might have Oriental cushions on your sofa but I can guarantee that they're not half as appealing as some on display here ! I know which ones I'd rather rest my head between while I watch television !

The world's best music festival has recently come & gone and tru to form it was an amazing event. Set in the heart of the English countryside, no event here is worthy unless it rains and there's lots and LOTS of mud. Epic.

Get ready for some self-inflicted portrait pretties, brought to you by both the joys of the digital camera & the sharing of information rapidly over the internets! In later life they may regret these pics being all over the web but, meh, who cares!

Some are professionally done, others look like they've come straight from a deviant art page or from the front of the artist's mom's fridge, but that doesn't mean they're not awesome, especially the Gaston/Belle swap.
