Joshua Hoffine Brings Your Nightmares To Life In His Beautiful Horror Photography
In honor of the upcoming Halloween holiday, I wanted to share with you the ghoulish photography of 35 year old Joshua Hoffine of Missouri.
Don't let his boyish looks deceive you, he's definitely dark. Designing sets that emulate small movies, he artfully brings horror to the medium of photography.
By capturing every fear and phobia from monsters under your bed and lurking under the stairs to spiders, zombies, cockroaches and clowns. I get the heebie-jeebies just uploading the pics!
All the prints shown below are available for purchase in 2 sizes on his website.
Purchase the prints and see his portfolio here.

Poking Fun By Poking Around At Palin As President Site
This fun website invites you to click all over Sarah Palin as she sits in the oval office for some tongue in cheek poking at her and her policies. From "Drill Baby Drill" to "lipstick on a pit bull", Sarah's unforgettable comments are humorously immortalized in this flash site designed solely for fun.
Above: Be sure to click on the 'red phone' too.
This is the type of site that someone sends you via e-mail or IM and you immediately think to yourself "someone has too much time on their hands." Nevertheless, you find yourself drawn in and amused, if not absorbed, by the clever and sarcastic images and actions on this interactive page.
Above: Clever and hilarious narratives appear behind the side door each time you click on it; from the poisoning of Katie Couric, to book burning and bunny hunting.
Be sure to have your volume turned up and click on everything you can, multiple times as well, since some of the scenes change each time you poke on them.

Even more fun is that the site is updated daily until November 4th, incorporating all the latest 'news'. So you'll have to bookmark it and go back day after day.

Dré Wapenaar's Unusual Tents: Artful Environments Cloaked In Canvas
Dré Wapenaar is a Rotterdam-based artist whose primary medium is tents - environments designed to shape encounters, whether between individuals or for large groups. Dre's portfolio includes a tent for reading newspapers, a birthing tent, "Deathbivouac," the "Pavilion of Loneliness," "Tree Tents" and "4GPP" - a pavilion for the performance of Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt's "Concerto for Four Grand Pianos."

Most of his tents are art pieces or sculptures and are not sold for commercial use. In the blogosphere, he's best known for his unusual looking tree tents, first created in 1998:
Here's a little background. The first 3 Treetents were produced for Campsite De Hertshoorn in Garderen in 1998. They were built by brothers Gertjan and Dré Wapenaar, as well as the steel frame as the manufacturing of the canvas.
In 2005 they built a new edition of the Treetent or Boomtent (this one can be loaned out and used for shows directly from Studio Dré Wapenaar).
TREETENT 2005 EDITION/ BOOMTENT EDITIE 2005
Only ten were produced of the 2005 edition in the following colors:
- forest-green
- dark-grey
- dark-beige
- bright-white
Engineer: Technisch Buro Cor de Heer
Steel Frame: Constructor Dick van Campenhout, Waalhaven Rotterdam.
Canvas: Ten Cate Technical Fabrics
And I bet you didn't know that he actually has little ones for birds as well! Birdtent orders can be made directly via the studio.
As mentioned at the beginning of this post, he's created a lot more than just the Treetents or BoomTents (as they are called in the Netherlands). Below are a few from his portfolio.
