Once I saw the pictures of the Scottish Kelburn Castle, I knew I had to be in an alternate mindset to fully appreciate and understand them. The psychedelic artwork is aesthetically nuts and the story behind it being there is very cool at the same time. The castle’s located near Fairlie, North Ayrshire, Scotland, also providing space for the current seat of the Earl of Glasgow.

The Crack Addict photography project was interesting as it depicted, what I can only assume, addicts and dealers in a naturally typical setting for the sort. Gritty and real with a very honest approach.

The third graffiti project, the illusory 3D Pavement art, is mind-blowing and challenges the viewer’s perception. Artist Edgar Mueller had a stroke of genius when he created his street art ice crevasse in Ireland. The huge 250-square meter picture, took 5 days to complete, working from sunrise to sunset with 5 assistants.

If you’re at all interested in graf art and the wonderful world of counter-culture, Trendhunter’s feature collection is definitely worth a peek; your eyeballs will thank us.

And some spandex so fierce it should be illegal. And to answer your question — yes, that is Hightower from Police Academy.

This weeks edition features the usual eclectic mixture of vids, features and links. Enjoy.

I Don’t Have Any Marijuana: This one pretty much sells itself. A fine example of the human race brought to us courtesy of the show Cops. One thing that did catch my eye was a comment below this video:

Smoking pot doesn’t make you stupid, but “stupid” people smoke pot. You can’t blame pot. People are in charge of themselves. Pot has not made this man unintelligent, as much as people want to believe that’s the cause. That logic is a falacy.

Looks like there’s hope for humankind after all.

Cardboard House Art: An interesting photo set of artwork on cardboard shelters from the mid-90’s in Shinjuku, Japan. The combination of inspiring art and the sad back story explaining how it was all wiped away makes for an unique read. [via Pink Tentacle]
