Marie-Louise Gustafsson

Marie-Lousie Gustafsson is a Swedish artist that designs ordinary house furniture unconventionally, from a bathtub on wheels to a sofa-table.

James MacKinnon, a Hollywood make-up artist, built an addition to his Hollywood hills home around an old sycamore tree. Though the project went $105,000 over budget, but the finished work is exactly the way he wanted it.

Zero Punctuation

Video game reviewer Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw gives "straight-to-the-point" reviews of games on "The Escapist Presents Zero Punctuation."

Jell-O Sculptures

British artists/chemists/culinary aficionados Sam Bompas and Harry Parr make sculptures/molds out of Jell-O, restoring a level of sophistication to the dessert that once existed in the past.

“All the desserts in the market were very stodgy, and we know from history that jellies were once considered to be the pinnacle of sophistication,” Mr. Parr said. “They were used as very lavish centerpieces, the way marzipan and sugar were used, but then jelly became corrupted by children’s parties.”

TV Viewing Reigns Supreme

The Council for Research Excellence, created by the Nielsen Company, released a study that monitored 350 people's media viewing behavior over a period 952 days and found that despite popular opinion that TV viewing is on the decline, TV still remains the overwhelmingly top medium for video viewing, across age groups. "TV accounts for 99% of all video consumed in 2008, 'Even among the 18-to-24 year-olds, it was 98%.'"

Keane and Osang Kwon

For Keane's latest album "Perfect Symmetry," the artists worked with Korean artist Osang Kwon for the album cover and inside art. Kwon took hundreds of pictures of the three band members, sculpted them to life-scale, and then collaged the photos on top of the sculpture to create a sort of "photography sculpture."
