I am quite inspired by these fantastic sculptures of waves by the Italian artist Mario Ceroli. They are quite beautiful on their own, but the fact that these are glass is pretty crazy too. Having worked with glass to do some stained glass I can only guess how hard it was for him to get his glass shaped just right. He must have ruined so many pieces. It isn’t as forgiving as the wood.

Analog always has such great covers. I’ll be sad when I’ve scanned them all.
Up first is from May 1976. We have some kind of a centaur loving up buxom breasted Medusa. The rich reds and her dress for some reason make me think of Spanish art work. No idea why, but that’s what pops to mind.
Up next we have some kind of a blank faced bandit that still manages to look a bit menacing. This immediately calls the game borderlands to mind. The jets in the background help add to the menacing feel.
For those who came here hoping for something to do with the video game and elicit animal sex, sorry.
Let me introduce you to the amazing folk art sculptures of Roy Jonas.
It is somewhat of a common thing to have cute prizes for some of the events that our local VW group puts together. We have camp outs, floats, road trips, etc. What stands out about Roy’s sculptures, aside from the fact that they are all awesome, is the fact that they are made completely from VW parts.
This example above is one that Roy built for me and my wife for our 10th anniversary. Every single piece here came from a VW.
He has a sense of humor too. Here you can see that the proposal statue is anatomically correct… thanks Roy!
For a few camp outs, there were a couple guys that would play banjo. This inspired Roy to make this cute little guy.
Some are more practical in nature. This oil bath has been converted to a survival kit. I was very jealous of this one.
Another musician, this time with pug in tow.
An offroad bus or “ozark look”. A few of our friends drive buses that look surprisingly like this sculpture all the way down to the offset hatch in the roof. 
a glimpse inside one of the survival kit oil baths.
Here’s a cool lamp made from the headlight bucket of a vw.
Here’s a clock made from the speedometer of an old bus.
Roy has now moved to Arizona so he won’t be joining us at very many camp outs. I sincerely hope he continues making these in his spare time though. They were the best prizes from any event I’ve ever seen… no contest.
Shankalonian’s idea of using broken electronic equipment to construct these sic-fi spaceships was, in my opinion, a stroke of genius. These sculptures all look freakin’ fantastic. It is no wonder that most of them are already sold from Shankalonian’s Etsy shop.
These are just a few of the more popular designs. You’ll have to go there and see for yourself what else is available.
It seems that the Art department of the University of Delaware has a class wherein you produce massive cardboard things. MaboroshiTira on DeviantArt has posted her Giant Game Boy and received some attention.
Reddit User mickiMAUS mentions another that I’d love to see:
I remember this project! I made a giant cardboard pencil sharpener you can stick your arms and legs into!
Fantasy and science fiction, october 1971.
You know, I’ve seen that old picture of the astronaut playing golf on the moon. This is a new concept though.
Every sunday, I’ll be posting some Sci-Fi art, probably in the form of a retro book cover. I was given a massive collection of science fiction books spanning from the 1950s to the 1970s. For a while, I scanned one a day and posted them on a site called pulp archive. Unfortunately, that took too much time and work at hackaday took over. I’m going to be posting 1 a week here, that should be a bit more manageable.
Here’s a preview of what is in store!
Flickr user Sisyuino has been hand stitching circuit boards from popular electronics in fantastic detail. Pictured above is the NeXT cube motherboard. Also appearing are the iphone, arduino and some random development boards.
On top of some bare board work, there are also some really interesting cases for macbook pros and ipods that are, well macbook pros and ipods. That’s right, you can plop your macbook into a macbook to carry it around.
Those of us that grew up on video games never doubted for a minute that one day people would hold up a retro cartridge and proclaim it to be an important piece of art and influence in our modern culture. It comes as no surprise that the Museum of Modern Art is now collecting video games.
They currently only have 14 out of the planned 40 to be displayed. While it would be easy to speculate about what retro games would be included, you might notice that they have modern games in the list too. This should be interesting!
