Classic Cars Vs. Their Modern Versions

1

There’s nothing like a classic car to give you that old taste where a car was a dirty rough machine that made you feel alive. Or maybe there’s nothing like a shiny, high power fully computerise car that look more like a spaceship than a car that makes you feel like an elite or some VIP. To each is own we guess, but we are sure there is no argument about awesome cars, in general, no matter which year, there’s something about awesome cars that get your blood pumping and the fantasies going. Below are a few examples of awesome car models the way they were in the past and how they look now. Continue reading »

Horrorgami – Papercut Versions of Famous Haunted Houses

Horror-film fan Marc Hagan-Guirey makes papercut versions of famous haunted houses, in a series he called Horrorgami. “When I was growing up, my elder brother and I were really really different characters. And the one thing that really bonded us was horror movies,” says Marc in the short profile film on Paper Dandy. He’s already created four houses from horror films and T.V. shows: The Shining, The Amityville Horror, The Exorcist, and The Addams Family. Each house is made from a single sheet of paper, and he plans to make a total of 13 houses and display them in an exhibition in London. My favorite so far is the Overlook Hotel from The Shining.

The technique Marc uses is called kirigami, which is like origami except the paper is both cut and folded. There are no adhesives used. If you’ve ever made a paper snowflake, then you’ve done kirigami! Continue reading »
