French Artist Edouard Martinet (previously Featured Here) Scours Flea Markets For Everyday Objects That

French artist Edouard Martinet (previously featured here) scours flea markets for everyday objects that he uses to create awesome animals and insect sculptures like the ones you see here.

“Working with a variety of refuse materials such as rusted kitchen pans, typewriter keys, car lights and other scrap metals, Edouard Martinet sculpts several types of animals and insects. His sculptures are made without the use of solder. He fits each component into place as if putting together a puzzle of random pieces and parts. Each masterpiece is carefully assembled after having drafted several detailed sketches.”

Visit Edouard Martinet’s website to view even more of his amazingly intricate creatures.

Dance of Development

I enjoyed the fruit fly embryonic development video from this post so much, I decided to animate it. Grow, little alien … grow like the wind!!!

A few months back, a small twitter hashtag got kind of crazy - #overlyhonestmethods

Its a hashtag full of scientists admitting shortcuts in research, along with the daily face palms and annoyances of a scientific lifestyle. Science is hard, yo. 

I decided to steal some of the more popular tweets from the trending hashtag along with some random images of scientists from Google image search and combine them. This is the result. it works, I think.
