This series of imaginary toys for naughty children consisting of a straitjacket, a restraint chair, a cage, or a heavy metal ball for prisoner are in fact concepts created to promote the new seasons of “Super Nanny” in Brazil. These fake toy boxes were installed in real toy store, to the amazement of the parents!].

Orlando Sanchez Artwork

Art + Beauty + Women = Orlando Sanchez Art.
quote [In the midst of July 2010, I arrived in Austin, Texas. I quickly embarked on a journey to figure out what I was going to do with my art. I needed to find out what fascinated and inspired me to create and explore a new body of art. The answer was beauty. The beauty of nature, and the beauty of women. Austin is a stunning city. To that end, I believe that your environment influences your work a great deal. For the past two years, my surroundings allowed me the opportunity to meet wonderful people whom I drew in the nude all whilst discovering the allure of Austin].

Interactive Chart of Biblical Contradictions

quote [A few years ago, computer science whiz Chris Harrison created a beautiful visualization linking up every cross reference in the Bible. So, for example, if a verse in the New Testament referred back to a verse in the Old Testament, there was an arc drawn between the two chapters they were in (the vertical lines at the bottom represent the number of verses in that chapter). Turns out there are 63,779 cross references in the Bible (and that many arcs in the image)! If it’s any indication of how complex this image is, the high-resolution version is more than 100MB large.

In 2009, graphic designer Andy Marlow used Harrison’s work as his inspiration to created a similar visual for Sam Harris‘ Reason Project. This time, though, he only included arcs representing contradictions in the Bible.

Now, computer programmer Daniel G. Taylor has taken all that data and turned it into a visual masterpiece.
His website, BibViz (Bible Visualization), gives you the same linking arcs as before, but when you hover over one of them, it lights up and tells you in the upper right-hand corner of the screen which verses are being linked together. Click on an arc and it takes you directly to those verses as compiled in the Skeptics Annotated Bible]
