Nowtoo Sugi lives in Japan and likes to relax by creating awesome and unusually colourful works of latte art. It’s a truly delicious and delightful hobby.

Starting this past February, Sugi began using colored bartender syrups to, as the hobby artist says, “paint” on coffee. Sugi isn’t the only one to create colorful lattes, but is certainly one of the best. 

So, for example, Sugi uses Blue Hawaii syrup for, well, blue and strawberry syrup for red or pink. The colors are mixed with steamed milk for variation.

Head over to Kotaku to view many more examples of Nowtoo Sugi’s awesome latte art. Then visit Nowtoo Sugi’s YouTube channel to watch how some of these amazing works of beverage art were made.

It’s a brand new week, which means it’s about time for a new crazy photo meme from Japan. This time those crazy kids, inspired by a new anime series based on the manga Attack on Titan, are playing with the age-old trick of forced perspective and staging awesome photos in which one giant student is grabbing or about to devour their classmates.

“…Attack on Titan tells the story of a wall city that’s being attacked by human-eating giants. The anime’s opening is utterly mental, and it’s inspiring all sorts of video parodies. 

The show seems to have captured the imagination of Japan’s youth. Since late April, photos of “Pretend Attack on Titan” (進撃の巨人ごっこ or Shingeki no Kyojin gokko) have been popping up online. Using perspective tricks, this photo trend usually depicts teens pretending to hold or even eat other kids. There are also photos of teens “attacking” giant classmates. Over the past few days, the number of pics has really begun to take off.”

So, with all of these fantastic photo memes to play with, when do these students have time for class?

Did you know that Detroit, MI is getting a giant statue of RoboCop? It’s a brilliant idea and, thanks to a successfully funded Kickstarter project which launched back in 2011, construction of the giant cyborg police officer is now nearing its final stage: bronze casting. 

Across The Board Creations has completed a 10-foot-tall RoboCop model out of foam, wax, clay and steel. It is now headed to Venus Bronze Works in Detroit for casting.

Follow the progress of the Detroit RoboCop statue project here.

Have you ever seen a cuter Wookiee family portrait? This awesome painting is the latest work by artist and Geyser of Awesome friend Kristin Tercek, aka Cuddly Rigor Mortis (previously featured here). It was created for a group Star Wars-themed exhibition hosted by Gallery Nucleus and entitled Saga in the Stars: A Tribute to a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

“This is a large piece for me (15” x 11.25”) and I really wanted to make a statement since Star Wars shaped the course of my life. I present “Kaapauku Life Day Portrait” with Chewie and his family, Lumpy, Itchy and Malla (anyone see the Star Wars Holiday Special?). I hope this piece makes everyone smile because it was so much fun to paint!”

The show opens Saturday May 4th and runs through May 26th. Click here to view more pieces from this stellar exhibition.

Artist Diet Wiegman creates sculptures that might puzzle you if you only looked at the sculptures themselves. Strange constructions of trash and random objects, when illuminated by a light, cast perfect and immediately recognizable shadows, like Michael Jackson on tiptoe, Michelangelo’s David, or the Venus de Milo. 

“In no way limited to shadows, the the artists career which spans nearly 50 years (most of what you see above was created in the 1980s) has also involved ceramics, paint, and photography… You can see 38 light sculptures on his blog and read a bit more over on Alafoto.”
