Most of Norman Rockwell's paintings are considered lighthearted and fun, rendered with an incredible degree of realism that really sets the scene in each of his artworks.
Nowadays, artists apply the Rockwell name to any artwork rendered in a similar style, or with similar character staging, even if there's nothing Norman about the piece.
The digital paintings of OnlyMilo (Ruiz Burgos) deserve to be compared to Rockwell's works, and his realistic treatments of DC Comics heroes and villains make you feel like you’re on the scene, watching something spectacular happen right before your eyes.

Advertising campaigns are meant to get attention, to engage the viewer in a way that sparks their interest in the product or service being offered.
Restaurants want to make you hungry, service providers want to prove they have the lowest price, but how does a science museum go about advertising to the public?
They engage the public by showing them the science of the everyday, making concepts more easily understood and inviting the viewer to explore the wonders of the scientific world at their museum.
Science World at TELUS World of Science in Vancouver, British Columbia wanted to create a series of unique and very original ads for their museum, so in 2010 they commissioned creative agency Rethink Canada to help bring their visions to life.
What began as a simple set of radio commercials has turned into a multimedia, multiplatform campaign that has people talking, and touching, and interacting with their ads.

People have created some pretty cool time lapse selfie videos over the years, but never has anyone shown more commitment to the bit than YouTuber dumo, who spent every day of 8 years creating the ultimate stop motion celebration of his face.
Dumo's taste in clothing changes, and his skin looks a bit weathered here and there, but one thing remains constant throughout 98% of the video- his stoic facial expression.
2,900 photos shot daily from September, 2006 to August, 2014, and way too few smiles. This guy's giving us a tour of his life and even he's not all that impressed!
The most impressive segment of his selfie video (around 2:40) involves a scene from Karate Kid playing in the background, a masterful editing feat dumo admits was a pain in the neck to get just right. Wax on, wax off dumo...

Everyone on Earth had always assumed The Invaders were just something game designers made up for their arcade game Space Invaders, and because of our lack of interplanetary knowledge they were able to invade unopposed. Good thing so many gamers had played this game before, because they knew how to get the best of those pixelated ships moving in horizontal bands across the sky. Suddenly someone suggested shooting a small hole through our own defenses, so the defenders could shoot them while staying behind cover, and the gamers knew then that victory was well in hand...
Bring the battle for coin-op domination home with this Earth vs The Invaders t-shirt by Piercek25, it's the perfect attire whether you're heading out for a night on the town with a pocket full of quarters or just kicking back at home with a good movie.

Many board games are created to be enjoyed by the entire family, and the idea of family game night was definitely helped along by toy manufacturers eager to sell more copies of their games.
Playing a board game with your parents is way more fun than taking candid family portraits, or watching their old home movies for the millionth time, but then again some family style games can feel like pure torture.
Toy enjoyer Attaboy hosted an episode of the web series “They Actually Made That!?” dealing with the strange and violent board games of yesteryear, from the family friendly Russian Roulette game Cold Feet to the hammer smashing "fun" of Bash!
Travelling can be incredibly fun, an adventure full of unexpected discoveries, cultural exploration and visual delights, but it can also be a huge pain in the neck.

That’s why it’s good to plan ahead and pack appropriately, and this collection of travel tips that will change your life forever (their words, not mine) contains some extremely valuable tips for the avid traveler.
There are a few “tips” that shouldn’t have made the list, like putting your phone into airplane mode to save battery power, but with 40 tips on the list there’s bound to be something shared that you’ve never thought of before!
Impressive works of art and architecture are no less impressive when there’s nobody there to see them, and sometimes their remote placement can make them seem even more spectacular:
This bust of Lenin was Russia's response to the U.S. setting up a research station at the South Pole in the 1950s- Russian scientists placed this "research station" in the most difficult spot to reach in Antarctica, then they planted a cherry on top shaped like Lenin's head.
A bust in the middle of nowhere almost makes sense, but creating an art installation modeled after a Prada store in the middle of nowhere...now that's highbrow!
There's a full stock of merchandise inside the store, but there aren't any cash registers, or doors for that matter, as creators Elmgreen & Dragset intend to let the building slowly become one with the high desert.
Speaking of a structure with no customers- there's one and only one movie theater in the middle of Egypt's Sinai Desert, but they haven't had a customer for years:
The End of the World Cinema was built just over a decade ago by an unnamed French man who had the seats, projection equipment, a screen and a generator trucked in, hoping to start a cinematic sensation.
Selfie mania snaps on, pic after pic rolling out to validate the existence of people who didn’t feel alive before they had a camera in their phone so they could document every face, every outfit, every meetup with a friend.
Selfie-palooza, selfie-ver, selfie-delia, selfie-fest 201X, things are about to go way too far in the world of selfies when a bloody accident selfie gets 2600 likes:
It’s about to become a selfie-pocalypse with the tweeting and the booking of faces, a social media meltdown of epic proportions led by someone who looks and acts exactly like this guy:
Those who don’t have a full blown case of selfie-itis are safe, but if you feel pic fever coming on put down your phone and go cold turkey, so you don’t end up like this:
Imagine how fierce the Vikings would have been if their axe chops and spear thrusts were enhanced by the raw power of baby cries, and the need to protect the infant strapped to their backs.
That’s the “extreme infant distress vocalization” theory that won MIT grad Tomer Ullman the grand prize at last year’s Festival of Bad Ad Hoc Hypotheses.
What sort of crazed revelation will earn their conceiver the coveted Skeptically Shrugging Darwin statue, perhaps an updated theory about the joys of battling with a baby strapped to your back?
