Heinz Maier's Photography

What can I say - I'm not a big fan of photography. I don't think recreating reality using electronic gadget is an art. But from time to time I stumble upon photographs like these - having nothing to do with reality, based purely on form and color. Beautiful and stunning.
The artist's name is Heinz Maier and he took photography in 2010.

Spark(l)y and romantic!

Someone took the saying "spark between them" too literally. And made a set of rings. Out of flint and steel. If you stuck them against each other, a spark will be created. Very romantic indeed, through I do not recommend doing it wearing them.
They were created by Ken Goldman, who's currently looking for someone to produce them.

Starry Cake

I'm not sure if that's appropriate, because I haven't found the name of the artist and it's only one picture, but... awesome.

Novum magazine cover

Novum is a German magazine about design. And if it's about desig, cover ought to be designy too. Looks like an abstract mosaic, but when you fold it...

Christian Faur's crayon art

So, we've seen a guy working with Rubik's cubes and all kinds of curious stuff, so I find it high time for Mr. Faur's work. He loves crayons. And uses hundreds of thousands of them in his works. Impressive.
