5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness | Cracked.com - StumbleUpon
Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain... #5. So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully. "SLEEEEEEEEEP... uh... What if we told you there was a way to sleep for little more than two hours a day, and still feel more refreshed than taking a 12-hour siesta on a bed made entirely out of baby kitten fur? Holy Shit!

An Artist Who Literally Screw His Artworks
Feb 25, 2011 / Category : Art / 5 Comments Meet Andrew Myers, one of the most patient modern-day sculptors around. He starts with a base, plywood panel, and then places pages of a phone book on top. After that he draws out a face and pre-drills 8,000 to 10,000 holes, by hand. As he drills in the screws, Myers doesn't rely on any computer software to guide him, he figures it out as he goes along. The young artist didn't always work with screws, the idea just came to him one day, while working on a church's bronze relief depicting the life of Saint Catherine. One of the most challenging parts is getting rid of the flat drawing underneath because he then has to paint over each of the screw heads, individually, so that in the end, the sculpture looks like an actual portrait. Although Myers sells his work for as much as $35,000, he's not doing it for money.

Real People Painted To Look Like Paintings
That's a real-ass live human woman right there! You see, DC artist Alexa Meade paints people to look like they're in paintings. Maybe art isn't dead! But you know what is? The opossum on the sidewalk right outside my apartment complex. It's true, I even poked it with a stick when I was walking the dogs. I paint representational portraits directly on top of the people I am representing. Whoa -- that was a little deep for me, Alexa. Hit the jump for a ton more of worthwhile amazingness, as well as the link to even more in higher-res.

Steampunk Sculptures by James Corbett, The Car Part Sculptor
James Corbett takes used card parts and, using them like pieces in a puzzle, creates amazing steampunk sculptures. Corbett showed artistic talent ever since he was a little boy. Colleagues at his Redcliff school would always tell him he’d grow up to be an artist. But, at 36 years old James was running a motor wrecking business. James Corbet says he makes these original sculptures because he can and it would be a shame to waste his God-given talent. via John Davies Gallery Reddit Stumble
