Cai Guo-Qiang

Cai Guo Qiang is an interesting International art star, who made built his career by utilizing gunpowder as his preferred medium. As you can see he has branched out and is making equally compelling work. I still like his work that involves big explosions or the traces of such explosions. Check out his other works in the link in his name.

David Lynch, Weatherman?

I shit you not, driving into work this morning, L.A.'s very own Indie radio station 103.1 has added a new weather reporter, David Lynch! He came on, presented the date and described the day as "clear blue skies and golden sunshine" he then told the current temperature in both fahrenheit and celsius and poof he was gone. The DJ said he would now be doing the weather in the morning from now on, who would've thunk it...?

This site is pretty cool, get a 360 degree virtual tour of this charming freaky fantastic house known as Steve's Weird House.
