This Talented Artist Makes Museum-Worthy Paper Cityscapes That Look like Oil Paintings

These are quite impressive.

Artist Albin Talik, from Krakow, Poland, is a talented fellow who uses a humble technique to make beautiful cityscapes: paper collage.

His technique is so precise that it’s easy to look at his collages and think they’re traditional oil paintings.

You could even describe Talik as a paper painter. He meticulously sorts through thousands of paper cutouts to create each work, and the results of his precision and care are incredible pieces of art displaying modern cities today.

There’s a Vincent Van Gogh Action Figure That Comes with Removable Ears

Vincent Van Gogh’s life story, the tribulations, the mental illness, and especially the story of him cutting off part of his own ear, continues to fascinate art lovers all over the world.

That’s why this Van Gogh action figure is so amazing! Today is Art Day launched a Kickstarter campaign back in 2017 to help fund the Van Gogh figure, and now they are readily available for the public to buy. Yay, Kickstarter!

The figure comes with not one, but two, detachable ears.

Photo Credit: Amazon

It may not be historically accurate, but hey, we’re allowed to have a little fun once in a while, aren’t we?

The figure comes in a box decorated with replicas of Van Gogh’s famous paintings, Sunflowers and The Starry Night. Lil’ Vincent is made of PVC and stands five inches tall.

Today is Art Day has branched out and now produces a bunch of other amazing action figures in addition to Van Gogh.

We have Frida Kahlo:

Artist Finds Her Childhood Bully Online and Shares the Results

Many of us get picked on at a young age in school by bullies and as we grow up, we never forget their name or their face.

For those who are bullied, many of the things people have said to us stay with us as we get older and torment us for years. It’s hard to completely let go of things that had such an emotional impact on you, especially as a kid. Canadian artist Meghan Lands was bullied and tormented for years–and she has constantly tried to forget her past.

Lands told Bored Panda:

“I think many of us have been either picked on or the pick-onner at some point in our lives. Growing up is tough to begin with, and in school we have to contend with this social pecking order that’s constantly reasserting or reorganizing itself.”

Lands decided to look up her bully on Facebook, all these years later, to see what she looked like now and what she was up to. Instead of sharing what she found, she decided to showcase it through a comic strip that has since gone viral on Tumblr.

Photo Credit: Meghan Lands

Many people online could relate to Lands’ comics on a deep level. Others shared some advice.

You can see more of Lands’ work on her website and social media profiles: meghanlands.com | Instagram | tumblr | Twitter
