Disturbing Pictures by Paul Ripke: Parent Children Head Swap

Disturbing Head Swap Pictures

Professional photographer Paul Ripke together with art director Florians Chmucker have created these rather disturbing pictures of parents and children in a bizarre role reversal.

Using skilled photo manipulation, he has swapped the heads of the parents with their children, creating very realistic, disturbing, yet intriguing pictures of large young children posing very proudly with their tiny infant sized parents.

These pictures are disturbing when you think of the possibility of real parent responsibility being handed over to their youthful counterparts, but they also give you food for thought. Could this be a fore gleam into the future that every new born child faces?

Children are not children for long. They grow up so fast, and then all of them are faced with a disturbing prospect. That of one day being responsible for the care of their aging parents!

Perhaps it is disturbing to think that the course of real life is not so different to what is being depicted here in these pictures.

The poses and expressions captured in these wonderful shots are very inspirational, and imaginative.

Chanel Models Glamorous Water Work Out

Glamorous Chanel Models

These really are dramatic pictures of Chanel models taken by Karl Lagerfeld. These sensational shots are part of Chanel’s spring campaign for 2012.

Super fit models Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls look as if they are in command of the ocean. With their confident, and striking poses they almost look as if they can walk on water.

The Chanel fashion models glamorous water work out took place in the sunny climes of France nearby the beautiful Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc, yet they remain as cool as ice throughout.

I love the effect Lagerfeld has created by combining glamorous, high end city fashion modelling, with all it’s ludicrously expensive Chanel pearls, and accessories, with the bare naked open sea.

Look what he’s done, he has taken a hot and sweaty gymnasium, a couple of beautiful models plucked from the city, and set them against the glistening backdrop of a mighty ocean. With his black and white theme, the Chanel creative director has brought them all together in a spectacular fashion.

Her father is Prakash Padukone, a well known badminton player. So it’s an amazing girl optical illusion. But what you’re seeing is a very real person.

Have a look again, isn't it amazing how her hair goes from being whiter than a 100 year old woman to give you the perfect image of a beautiful brunette.

Paintings of Women - Hyper Realistic Nude Paintings of Women

Beautiful Nude Paintings of Women

These are truly inspirational paintings of women by Mexican artist Omar Ortiz. Let’s face it, in today’s world the retail fashion industry just would not survive without women.

In times past, a woman could spend a lot of money on a designer dress and it would stay in fashion for at least 6 months. Nowadays the latest fashion sensation can be out of date in a matter of weeks!

The competition to stand out as the prettiest, the most beautiful, the most glamorous is unrelenting. Women today continue to spend obscene amounts of money on the latest designer shoes, bags, dresses, clothes they might only wear once or twice and never use again.

And it’s not just the traditional shoes and bags that women have always loved, now it’s got to be the latest designer make up, perfume, hair stylist, cell phone, the list goes on and on.

I love how these paintings bring things back to basics, and portray a hyper realistic sense of things. They really show off the true beauty of a woman’s form in the most simplistic way imaginable.

In a recent Omar Ortiz Interview with Sunrise Artists, he is quoted as saying “Since I started painting I have always liked to represent things as real as I can” he goes on to say “I enjoy the challenges of trying to reproduce natural light and the nuances that gives us, particularly in bright environments. I like to keep the simplicity of the pieces because I think excess makes us poorer rather than richer.”

Ortiz uses perfect minimalism to highlight the true natural beauty of a woman in his paintings. He provides undisputable proof using a simple canvas and some oil paint that women who spend in excess are just chasing after the wind, making themselves poorer with clutter they don’t need.

Most of his paintings have a very light and simple background, and highlight the real beauty of a woman clothed in what is more often than not, merely one simple piece of fabric.

Potholes In London Roads Turned Into Gardens!

The London Pothole Gardner

These garden pictures are a beautiful way to highlight the potholes on British roads. Motorists in Britain have long been frustrated with the ever increasing potholes that appear causing damage to their cars.

One minute you are cruising along contentedly in you’re beautiful expensive car, you’re pride and joy that you have worked so hard to acquire, then suddenly bang! It feels like you had become too relaxed listening to your favourite music, and the peaceful sound of your car effortlessly soaking up the miles.

You must have fallen asleep and hit a wall, at least that’s what it felt like. And now your body is on red alert. Your blood pressure soars, and with white knuckles you are now focused with grim determination. You slow down, and you're driving more carefully now, as you reflect on the damage it’s caused to your car.

With every winter potholes in Britain only seem to get worse, and the repairs don’t seem to last very long, that is, if they are ever repaired at all. Local councils appear to find it cheaper to pay out on the odd insurance claim for damage caused to tyres than to have to pay for constant repairs.

Thousands of car drivers all over the UK are having the lives of their car tyres and suspension needlessly shortened.

Well now a student from London has come up with a brilliant idea to highlight the problem. Steve Wheen Has started a blog where you can follow his Pothole Gardner Project, where he transforms ugly, unattended eyesores, into beautiful miniature gardens.

He say’s it’s “Part art project, part labour of love, part experiment, part mission to highlight how shit east London roads are – the pictures and gardens are supposed to put smiles on peoples faces and alert them to potholes!” What an ingenious way to do it!
