Trashy Artwork by Bernard Pras

•July 17, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I love this mans work, simply because it says so much about the artist:

Artist Bernard Pras He creates his art by stacking everyday objects such as used toys, food wrappers and dishes on top of canvas to create 3D reinterpretations of iconic photographs and portraits.

Pras, a contemporary French artist using photography and lithography, is considered one of the most uncommon artists of the new generation.

Kind of like one huge game of Eye Spy

The Geek Galaxy by Artist Steven Anderson [infographic]

WHAT IF our Galaxy was merged with all the science-fictional planets we experience in (every day for some) pop culture? “What’s that strange moon where Alderaan used to be?”

…Slightly bigger segments or everything in full size (plus where all the references are from) at Bite Daily:

Today is a special day at Bite Daily, mainly because we spent most of it identifying all these planets and taking a trip down sci-fi memory lane. Do you think you can get all the references?

We also included spoiler versions for those who just aren’t as geeky as we are:

I’m not that concerned that it’s missing Farscape planets and to hell with Babylon 5; but why no Arrakis (Dune)?

…and PANDORA IS REAL Damnit!!!
