Artist Evan Roth, whose propulsive paintings we previously featured, spent countless hours playing ‘Angry Birds’ using 300 pieces of tracing paper and black ink to capture the gestures he used on his iPhone’s screen in order to beat the game.

I’ve never wanted to wear 3D glasses more than I do after coming across this nifty, stereoscopic 3D mural from Baltimore’s XXist.

Anyway, the attention to detail on these cupcakes is just astounding! We have no idea if they contain any [...]
