The Korowai tribe which counts about 3000 people is one of the weirdest tribes in the world. They live in southeastern Papua/New Guinea and their culture still remains isolated from the modern civilization. As most of tribes, they have many weird customs and some of them consider cannibalism, too.

Like the fact that they are living in their own tribal way is not weird enough, they have something what makes them even more weird and unique. They have developed their own techniques of building tree houses on extremely tall trees.

Here you can see some of photos which are showing us how some of their homes are magnificent and some of photos are showing the process of constructing those buildings.

They started building this place 17 years ago. They have filled their backyard with plenty of rusty sculptures of dinosaurs and other dinosaur-like creatures. Today, their park contains more than 250 of different sculptures and they managed to make some business out of it. Their park is visited by more than 15,000 visitors every year.

I have seen a lot of weird, unusual and incredible artworks and artistic techniques but this one is way more amazing than others.

Istvan Orosz is a graphic designer who is best known by practicing the technique of anamorphosis. Anamorphosis is drawing technique where the final artwork cannot be seen on the paper. The final artwork is a reflection in a special device placed in a specially calculated position.

If you look at the paper, you probably won’t see nothing interesting there but when you place the corresponding cylinder-like object in a specific place on the paper, you’ll get amazing reflections.

We are witnessing the fact that our urban settlements are becoming cold and dark bunch of steel and concrete. That is against the humans nature and is against the nature at all. Humans naturally do not feel comfortable in such urban areas where you cannot see a single plant.

Studuio Seilern Architects came to an interesting idea to create a building which will not bounce from the standards of urban life and still it will be eco-friendly and will look like a green park.

Here you can see some of photos of conceptual design of the urban building which should contain a lot of plants in it. The project is named Whitehorse Street Development and it is planned to be built in London, United Kingdom.

When they finish it, it will look like a green oasis in the desert of cold steel constructions. This luxury housing complex is aimed to be finished before May 2012.

Now here is a pretty cool sea scooter which can replace the dolphins and it is not so hard to catch it at all

Here you can see a photos of eco-friendly scooter which is designed by Design Icon. It is powered by an electric engine so it doesn’t pollute the environment. It can be used for diving and for riding the waves.

If you look at following photos you will probably say: ‘Everyone could do that’ but, the fact that he was commissioned by the Milwaukee Art Museum to make this then we just have to respect that. Zhou’s idea was to create dancing ice furniture and i believe he done it pretty well.Visit author site .

The incredibly lifelike scenes are actually huge works of art, painted on the side of perfectly intact buildings. The paintings, which have fooled many, were created by John Pugh, who specialises in trompe l’oeil – or ‘trick of the eye’ – art.

I am sure that unfortunate owners of those cars were very surprised when they came back after a few days and found their cars almost transformed into soil by a bunch of weird worms. Next time they will care more where they left their car and how long
