Amateurs and professionals alike have begun once again to use art as a persuasive means of mass communication, rather than just a self-serving means to an end. In saying that, enjoy this list of art inspired by the lame duck leader of the free world himself, George W. Bush.

Applied carefully, High Dynamic Range-technique (HDR) can create incredibly beautiful pictures which blur our sense of the difference between reality and illusion. In graphics HDR imaging is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques.

First published in 1979, The Usborne Book of the Future was "A trip in time to the year 2000 and beyond. See the robots, machines and cities of the future, and then travel to the stars." It's crazy to see the predictions about the future that were so off the mark...and which are eerily prescient.

An illustrated history of the last 75 years of men's fashion from double-breasted suits to modern formal wear. With some unfortunately large shoulder pads in between.

Sci-Fi writers seem to enjoy coining Laws: adages bearing their own names that live on past their appearances in Sci-Fi stories. Here are five of my favorites, plus one bonus law (actually a Principle) from the world of cartoons.

Frederic Bourdin is a French serial impostor the press has nicknamed "the chameleon". He began his impostures as soon as he left the children's home and as of 2005 had assumed at least 39 false identities, three of which have been actual teenage missing persons. Here's a brief profile of his life along with an interview by the New Yorker.

For publishers in the halcyon days of the late 1990s?those days before the Internet was blamed for robbing media moguls of their precious ad revenues?there existed a magical recipe that could build you a glossy magazine empire almost overnight. The concoction was simply named The Formula.

Photographer Steve Bloom has captured some most incredible shots of native wildlife: ?I am humbled by the opportunities I have had to witness the diversity of life in so many places...There remains the ongoing challenge to portray life in all its manifestations, and create images that reveal the very essence of what it is to be a living being."

The actual details of how rebirth occurs is not fully understood by Scientology outsiders, but some core beliefs are that every human being is really an immortal spiritual being known as a thetan and that the "meat bodies" we inhabit are merely vessels we shed upon death.

On a related note: "Consider "peruse," which technically means "to read with thoroughness and care" but in today's parlance has come to mean "pretending to skim magazines while waiting for someone you met on the Internet to meet you at the bookstore."

Someone visited Wal-Mart tried to duplicate some 100 year old photos at Wal-Mart and they were informed that since the photo was taken by a studio, it was "copyrighted" which "meant it was not allowed to be copied" by anyone, at any time. These old photos were unmarked and all of the copyright holders are unknown or quite possibly dead.

Artists inherently like the smoke for its flux and dynamic properties, and the public seem to enjoy asking the perennial question "What were they smoking?" when seeing a radical and challenging piece of art. Today, we'll feature some examples of "smoke art", and marvel at how such an elusive substance can be possibly herded into fascinating shapes.
