Atlanta-based photographer Theron Humphrey, created this photo project of her entitled “Maddie on Things”, which has been such a success that it is still on-going. Together, they create interesting an unusual portraits featuring Maddie in funny scenarios.

According to Humphrey, the project began as a simple bet with a friend. “I had been photographing Maddie for a bit, just for fun, to do something different. A friend challenged me to see if Maddie could stand on four soup cans. She did it on the first try!” he said.

Photo-Realistic Ink Paintings of Animals by George Boorujy

Brooklyn based artist George Boorujy creates impossibly detailed ink paintings of North American birds and other animals, often pouring numerous photographs and visiting zoos where the animals are kept before embarking on a piece.

P.P.O.W. gallery, who is hosting George Boorujy’s latest solo show, Blood Memory, writes, "Through their gaze an interaction evolves with the wild that otherwise would have to be sought out or birthed from happenstance. However fleeting our exchanges with the wild are, an impression of their presence marks our memories. There is something mystical at play; a silent exchange that either moves us towards awareness or heightens our fear of the unknown."
