Water is Life - Road Painted in Blue
Artist Henk Hofstra created an "urban river" in Drachten (Netherlands). The Blue Road installation is an example of what mind-blowing urban public art can be. Featuring 1000 metres of road painted blue and the phrase "Water is Life" written in eight-meter-high letters across it, the Blue Road is reminiscent of the waterway that used to be where the road is now. It's a memorial to nature, but it's also just plain awe-inspiring. There's even a few cool tidbits along the road, like a sinking car. The project took 4000 liters of paint and cost 75,000 Euros. Half of the cost was covered by municipal funds.
Wax Figure Of Michelle Obama
The U.S. first lady Michelle Obama will be the next resident in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Washington D.C.
A clay head mold of Michelle Obama is in the final touch up at Merlin Studios in London before the senior sculptor Colin Jackson “makeup” for her.
According to the sculptor, the clay molds are a crucial step in the six month-long figure creation process. As we can see from the photo, the clay mold really looks so real although most of us have never seen her before.
The full wax figure will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. in March 2010.
