Manchester, UK based painter Trystram Menhinick created series of photo-realistic paintings capturing moments from lives of ordinary people. Either a woman sitting on the chair, or nude taking a bath his characters seem to radiate inner peace and solitude.

We picked a few photographs from Swiss artist and fashion photographer Roger Weiss.
In his series "Suspension" Roger uses collage of images to assemble models in beautiful compositions.
"In her skin" captures fleeting moment, an intimate meeting of sorts between the subject and the photographer's lens.

Created by Canadian artist Ellen Jewett "Creatures From El" is collection of fascinating yet peculiar creatures - morphed flora and fauna into surrealistic mutant species frozen in movement. Almost like captured at the moment we woke up from a dream of captivating and mysterious imagery. It seems like body parts as characters in it's own right mutated into mechanical and bestial interlocking breeds.
But, then again... maybe it's how these beasts see themselves?
Turtle feels boged down by the weight, like it's a tree growing on it's shell, fast mountain lion feels like birds flying out of his body carrying him through the fastest of runs and desert fox feels elegance of swan wings - as vanity is it's blessing and it's curse...
More of these fascinating "Creatures from El" can be found here.

Fashion artist from Kiev (Ukraine) Dina Lynnyk collaborated with photographer Roma Pashkovskiy to create eerie photo series appropriately named "Creepy Kids". In her collages Dina's white eyed models and their pale, static facial expressions provide surrealistic staging for fashion by likes of Balenciaga and Vivienne Westwood.
In 2011 Dina Lynnyk was selected as a best young fashion designer by Harpers Bazaar Fashion Forward.
More of Dina's work can be found on her Behance page.

We've seen several photo series from photographers using various office supplies (scotch tape, rubber band, paint) or household items (leaf bower, window glass) to distort ones face for that bizarre look we cannot help to click on. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure - the results are always entertaining.
Wes Naman (was featured here) previous "Scotch Tape" series created so much buzz that he decided to follow in the same direction by using rubber bands. This time faces were borrowed from local Albuquerque music bands (see play of words "rubber bands" - "music bands"). Musicians wearing their band t-shirts posed for this fun but sometimes painful photoshoot. More of "Rubber Band" photos can be found here.
