Is faux skin mini furniture art?

GeneralEdward Kiledjian

Strange and disturbing was my reaction when I saw pictures of this mini furniture covered in faux (fake) human skin. There is a visceral reaction of fear and disgust when you see something covered in what looks like human skin.

To be clean, this is all fake material made to look like skin but still… it is disturbing. Why would anyone consider this art?

Amazing portrait photography with a smartphone

Our smartphones are amazing little devices that have wondrous capabilities. One of my favorite features of my smartphone is the built in camera. As great as these devices are, many still complain that the smartphone cameras aren’t “good enough”, so I love seeing what professional photographers can accomplish with them.

There is a great video on Youtube of a French photographer that takes fantastic portrait shots using nothing more than his creativity, a $10 Ikea lamp and a smartphone.
