I’ve seen Shep around L.A. a couple times but never said hi.
What do you say to someone that good?
He knows he’s good, his presidential portrait is hanging in the Smithsonian.

It’s like he took everything that Warhol ever said about Art but could never actually do and fucking did it.

Ali always says, “This one’s going in the Spank Bank.”  so from now on The Spank Bank is a category for anything worth touching yourself over. Go ahead. We don’t judge.

NakedGirlsInOurBed.com is a website started by Lucky B (Lucky Bastard), a photographer in San Diego and his girlfriend Eloise where simply enough girls stop by and they do a photoshoot in their bed. Most of the girls are tattoo’d, pierced and very hot. The girlfriend is cool with it and the photos are magnificent and very tasteful.

Simple. Brilliant. Sites like this are there for nothing more than the betterment of society.

via Moma.org: Bees have a sense of smell fine enough that they can detect some Cancers and states of fertility and ovulation. Does this sound as impossible to you as it does to me? Well as part of a modern art exhibition —you know what, I think it’s witchcraft. I’ll just copy the text from the website:

Precise Object, from the BEE’S project: New Organs of Perception. Prototype. 2007

Susana Soares (Portuguese, b. 1977)
Design Interactions Department (est. 1989), Royal College of Art (UK, est. 1837)

Soares has conceived a series of alternative diagnosis tools that use trained bees to perform health checkups, detect diseases, and monitor fertility cycles. “Bees have a phenomenal odor perception,” explains Soares. “They can be trained to target a specific odor.” The Face Object has two chambers. Bees that detect certain odors in the breath—some of them even connected to forms of cancer—will go into the smaller chamber if they sense them. The Fertility Cycle Object has three chambers: The largest corresponds to the ovulation period, the second to preovulation, and the third to postovulation. The bees will fly into the relevant chamber. The Precise Object has an outer curved tube that prevents bees from flying accidentally into the interior diagnosis chamber, making for a more precise result.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go to Walgreens and pick up a bee chamber.

OMGz. I need to stop clicking on this site. Whenever I do I get trapped in it’s never-ending web of eyegasming art images and ephemera.

The site works by its users bookmarking images they dig on the web and adds them to their list of photos on FFFFound. Im just trying to fill space so that the link on the right doesn’t spill over into the post under this one. Since I am just spouting off random words then I might as well tell you that I started a forum on this site. Under the header where it says FORUM, yeah, click that and start posting. Post whatever, i praise wierdness.

These were either done with a stencil and a vacuum or an empty tattoo needle (i’m guessing vacuum). Either way I think the concept is rad. These images come from the Skin series of photographer Ariana Page Russell. The image on the left is what led me to the website, a pattern of lace embossed on the skin. Its like skin wallpaper or an accessory that you don’t take off… until it heals.
