This Is A Painting of the Day: Japanese painter Riusuke Fukahori uses a patience-trying technique to paint 3D fish by drawing them one 2D resin-sealed layer at a time.
Understand the process better by watching the video below:

quote
People will often cry gross over-intellectualisation when popular culture is critically addressed, as if it is somehow exempt from serious consideration because it is itself ‘non-serious’, just a bit of fun that doesn’t require or deserve dissection. I disagree; every expression of art is a product of its environment and as such will reflect the concerns, preoccupations and neuroses of the time. Mainstream entertainment particularly, by its very nature, has to reflect the dominant modes of thinking in order to qualify as mainstream, and in that respect, mass entertainment is even more fun to pick apart.

I listen to an alarming amount of chillwave. (That, or electro fairy-rock / 2011-era Bjork reincarnations.)

Disneyland with the Death Penalty

William Gibson’s travelogue on Singapore for Wired is pretty old, so it might be a little outdated, but a fascinating read nonetheless. Unbiased journalism it is not, and Singaporeans (perhaps East Asians as well) will likely protest at his generalization of them as Orwellian automatons. However, as far as portraits of strange and paradoxical places go, I found it quite fresh.

Reading Landscape by Kyle Kirkpatrick

Like those topography maps you had to make in sixth-grade science class, but with a bit more style. J’adoooore.

While I do believe that idea-hoarding often just serves to mask a lack of confidence in one’s ability to generate more ideas, where business—and large sums of $$$—are involved, I doubt that most could espouse such a philosophy. I wonder how many successful businesspeople today abide by such a code? (This isn’t a rhetorical question, I’m actually curious.)

I don’t like this expression ‘First World problems.’ It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t …disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.
