Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and architecture. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

There are many ways to attack photography and some are much more expensive than others.

Neat little sketches documenting a dude’s flight from the US to Germany. Anyone knows the artist? I would like to give him proper credit.

Many artists have used pencils to create beautiful pieces of work – but only one creates stunning masterpieces on the tip of one. Microscopic artist Dalton Ghetti spends up to two-and-a half years painstakingly crafting each handmade piece on the graphite of a pencil.









The New York Times reports

“Mr. Ghetti, who owns about as many possessions as a monk, is aware how unusual his craft is. He started carving tree bark when he was a child and experimented with everything from soap to chalk before settling on graphite. It’s second nature now, and for 90 percent of his work, all he needs is a sewing needle, a razor blade and a carpenter’s or No. 2 pencil.

‘The pencil tip is great; it’s like a pure, very homogenous material,’ he said. ‘It cuts in the same direction, not like wood, which has a grain. But when I tell people how long it takes, that’s when they don’t believe it. That’s what amazes people more, the patience. Because everything nowadays has to be fast, fast, fast.’”







It is really remarkable niche in the art world. There have been artists who use pencils as part of their craft, but none use the smallest and most fragile part: the pencil lead.

Art through code by Aaron Meyers.



Aaron Meyers made these elaborate works of art with Processing and laser engraving. The intricate patterns were computer generated from equations and instructions Meyers wrote into the code. The patterns were then converted into a suitable format for a laser cutting machine, which produced these amazing examples of laser engraving.

Laser cutting often gets most of the attention with laser engraving taking a back seat or used to supplement the the cutting. It’s refreshing to see someone focus so completely on the capabilities of computer controlled engraving. Be sure to check out Aaron Meyer’s Flickr stream and site.

There are some more images of his wonderful work after the jump.



For those that aren’t familiar with Processing, it’s an open source programming language developed specifically for creative applications. It is yet another wonderful idea to come out of MIT’s Media Lab.

Processing comes up periodically on this blog. There are a couple good examples of how it has been used here and here.

If you want to try out your own engraved patterns, visit our Make site for materials and instructions. Also be sure to read Part 1 and Part 2 of our instructions on How to Engrave.
