Link Round-Up: October 1, 2010


Created by NL Architects, these windmill trees were the subject, in part, of an essay by Rob Holmes, writing at Mammoth about cyborg arboretums. He begins by describing what exactly such places might be:

This is a cyborg arboretum.  That is, a collection of various plants not naturally found in geographic proximity, brought together for educational purposes, whose constituent plants happen to be cyborgs.  Not augmented humans, but flora augmented by “non-hereditary adaptations”.

Artist: Roland Tamayo

Crabby

Here's some of the work Roland Tamayo has on offer at Gallery 1988. He has a talent for making this huge mammals flying through the sky look effortless, whether its Killer Whales, Manatees, or Trout.  It's both beautiful and whimsical.  You can view more of his artworks at his website or shop.

Of course, if you're in L.A., you can go see his show in person.  Visit the website of Gallery 1988 for more information.

Merchandise: Adorable Star Wars Posters

Bounty Hunters by Chris Bishop


This caught my eye because the style reminds me of Samurai Jack, my favorite cartoon. If you like this poster, don't miss Bishop's The Comeback.
