    yellowandotherinspiringstuff: Art of the Toilet Paper Roll by JUNIOR FRITZ JACQUET French artist Junior Fritz Jacquet has been fascinated by paper since a very young age. Among various other paper and cardboard creations, he transforms plain toilet paper rolls into remarkable miniature masks. His technique is inspired by origami, in that it uses a single piece and folds it into a shape, but has a unique smoothness that deviates from the sharpness and jagged edges of origami, creating shapes that are astonishingly human. The masks are sculpted by hand, then coated with shellac and different pigments. A testament to the power of taking something incredibly simple and transforming it into something impressively expressive, each piece exudes a complexity of human emotion conveyed in just a few brilliantly orchestrated folds. “This is very cool art and I like it.” - Ellie McElvain “Also, don’t tell anyone, but I thought these were burritos at first.” - Ellie McElvain

    “Stuck Between Butt Cheeks” might be the name of my first punk rock album.

    hoveringcat: This piece called “Places I Haven’t Been (North America)” is by Evan Drolet Cook - he doesn’t appear to have a website but this photo was taken by Cameron Wittig. Found via Colossal. I like this a lot but it also makes me nervous?

    GIVE ME INTERNET OR GIVE ME DEATH

    I’ve been grounded to my room until it’s clean and I literally cannot stop thinking of jokes/sketch ideas/blog posts/inventions/cures for cancer.

    For example:

    What’s the deal with that one N*Sync song?
    It’s tearing up my heart when I’m with you
    But when we are apart, I feel it too
    And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
    with or without you
    Someone should let him know about heart burn. Too bad it’s 2011 now.

    I guess it’s true what they say about oppression inspiring great art.

    Modern Girl by Sleater-Kinney

    My baby loves me, I’m so hungry
    Hunger makes me a modern girl
    Took my money and bought a donut
    The hole’s the size of this entire world

    I’ll probably love any song with a great lyric about donuts.

    I Want You - Summer Camp

    I mean seriously, their sound is NUTS. And the lyrics? So intense and fucked up but also like super fun at the same time.

    Like shiit check this out:

    “If I could, I’d kiss your lips so hard your entire face would bruise/Write your name in blood on every wall, it would make the evening news/I’d chain our feet together so that you could never leave/

    I’d make you love me so much you’d have to ask permission to BREATHE.”

    So fucking scary! But also who hasn’t felt that level of “I want you”. Summer Camp steps it up past the billions of other vanilla “I want you” songs and hits right in that crazy spot we’re all scared of but secretly recognize as a real thing. There is a reason Law & Order SVU cops talk to any and all love interests as potential suspects first, y’knowwhatimean!

    I get crushes like a.. like a heat-seeking missile. Once I decide I’m into that, I’m just like “fucking WIFE me right now because we’re obviously perfect for each other and don’t even pretend like I’m not awesome” and then I pursue until everything explodes! Which means we’re either dating or probably not speaking.

    It’s not the most graceful tactic, but as this band so clearly and beautifully illustrates, infatuation is literally INSANE. And everyone experiences that. I’ve never written a guy’s name in blood on a wall in a passionate show of affection or anything but I’ve absolutely felt the bright red lit-up crazy button in my head. This song is just a perfect portrait of that.

    So, yeah, Summer Camp. Great band! Check ‘em out.
