Pandamonium: WWF Panda Reimagined by Artists

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts on October 5, 2009 at 3:50 pm


(L) Frozen in Time by United Visual Artists. UVA recreates the WWF panda in ice, then allowed it to melt in their studio. (R) Surrogate, an "android" panda by Troika, symbolizes mankind’s capacity to destory nature with technology.

Last month, the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) UK launched a project called Pandamonium, where they asked artists to "reinvent" the iconic panda logo of the organization, to be auctioned off October 12.

Various pandas are being displayed at Selfridges on London’s Oxford Street, though if you can’t make it there you can always visit WWF-UK’s Pandamonium Flickr set.

More info at WWF-UK official Pandamonium page – Thanks Ross!

Dog with Human Eyebrows

Posted by Alex in Animal on July 20, 2009 at 2:14 am

Found in Japan: a dog with real eyebrows. Meet "Panda," a dog born with black spots around his eyes. As he grew older, the spots moved up to be like eyebrows.

BuzzFeed has got the video clip (I bet Martin Scorsese is checking his brows right now to see if they’re still there …)
