I have been waiting for this for 84 years

It is…how you say a…metaphor

if teenagers are ever being mean to you just pull out any miscellaneous item you have on you at the moment and make up some bullshit term to scare them

teenagers: we are going to punch you me *pulling out spoon*: have you lot ever been Uncle Jimmied

teenagers: we are going to kick you me *pulling out an electric toothbrush*: have you all ever experienced a Norwegian Christmas…

teenagers: we are going to unlawfully take your money me *taking car keys out of my pocket*: say, have any of you ever had a Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch…….

teenagers: we are going to call you mean names me *taking Costco brand pair of socks out of my purse*: it’s been a while since i gave someone a Tropic Of Capricorn………….

teenagers: we’re violent just for the fun of it ! me *microwaving a hard-boiled egg*: you’re all about to get a Matthew Broderick Jr.

teenagers: we are going to spread rumors about you me *getting out my tube of rash cream*: don’t force me to give you a Chinese Whistling Garden

teenagers: we are about to physically assault you me *pulling out cantaloupe*: seems like you rapscallions have never heard of the Screaming Astronaut

teenagers: we are going to commit felonies me *pulling out handfuls of spaghetti*: I’m sorry you all have to experience the Kansas Turnpike …

teenagers: i am preparing to steal an automotive vehicle me *taking out a roll of dental floss*: keep this sort of behavior up and you’re going to get the Rick Astley’s Crochet

teenagers: i plan to do acts of physical hooliganism! me *takes a Bop It out of my pocket*: I don’t normally do this but I’ll enjoy giving you a North Carolina Senator G.K. Butterfield

I feel like this is pretty much the most accurate way to describe life as an adult.

Nothing beat a cardboard box growing up because it wasn’t just made of cardboard. Cardboard could instantly become your ticket to a rocket on the moon or your dream fortress where you ruled the world. Using this simple material and a lot of imagination, artist duo Zoey Taylor and David Connelly have built the world they wish to live in. They call it “The House of Cardboard”, better known as “Dosshaus”. The two (or as they say, “Les Deux”) first met in 2010 and it was a match made in heaven- Taylor cuts and glues together the cardboard pieces and Connelly takes the photos, which feature the creative couple living in a real-life monochromatic black and white house.

The dreams of the Department of Luminous Light Painting are made of visions like these awesome animated images created by New York-based photographer Lucea Spinelli. For her series entitled Phōtosgraphé, Spinelli uses light as a ghostly presence, both playful and haunting, swinging on playground swings, leaping onto park benches and chars, floating through hallways and stairwells, or descending from a ceiling light like a phantom jellyfish.

“I cancelled a date with a real life girl to play this.”

Today the Department of Beguiling Book Art is exploring the works of West London-based artist Su Blackwell, who transforms everything from novels to nature guides into marvelous book sculptures. Before using the books as her artistic medium, she always reads the books she’s about to transform. Blackwell uses the books themselves to create enchanting visual art that represents the stories told on the very pages used to make her artwork.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee became houses on a street in Maycomb, Alabama, one of which must be Boo Radley’s house because of the big tree out in the front yard, in which he left treasures for Scout and Jem Finch:

Blackwell’s latest series of literary sculptures focuses on how a person’s own home can fuel their imagination.

Picture above are 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Jungle Book, Field Guide to Wild Flowers (XI), The Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage, The House in the Oak Tree, The Snow Goose, The Dark is Rising, and The Stork Wife.

If you’re in London you can view these exquisite sculptures in person at the Long & Ryle Gallery from September 17th to October 9th, 2015.

Head over to Su Blackwell’s website to check out more of her enchanting artwork.
