SNL Video of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Katie Couric - Absolutely Hilarious!

I happen to disagree with just about everything Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin stands for. However, she is really getting trampled by her detractors and some parts of the non-Fox media. Indeed, the woman has become an industry onto herself.

Having said that, this Saturday Night Live video clip from this past saturday's "recreation" of the recent Katie Couric interview of Sarah Palin with Tina Fey as Palin and Amy Poehler as Katie Couric is too hilarious to pass up!

The Art of Gustav Klimt Reproduced in Fantastic Photos

"Gustav Klimt (1862 – 1918) was a brilliant Austrian iconoclast who rose from childhood impoverishment to become an artist who enormously impacted the Viennese Secession and Art Nouveau movement. Known for elaborate, explicitly sensual paintings and murals, Klimt’s works also encompass themes of regeneration, love and death. Embedding his work with images symbolizing the freedom of art from traditional Western culture, Klimt’s eclectic range of influences included Egyptian, Classical Greek, Byzantine and Medieval styles. A forerunner of Modernism and the Art Deco movements, Klimt’s huge creative influence still resonates in modern art, decorations and jewelry."

These collection of beautiful and artistic photos is called "La Esencia de Klimt" which translates to "Klimt's Essence". The photographer is Moises González and he created these beautiful pictures for Ae Magazine. Art Direction, digital art, illustrated and Styling by Kattaca. I added the Klimt's paintings for contrast. I can't say that Klimt is among my favorite painters but I really like this work by Gonzalez and Kattaca.

Digitalized Celebrities - Jolie, Elvis, Alba, Freeman, Hayek, Pitt, W. Smith, Portman

This is some of the best vector art I have ever seen. Vector graphics, as the whole world knows, are graphics that, hum, have something to do with mathematical equations. In any event, go to Wikipedia here if you want to know more about vector graphics.

I don't know the name of the creator of this fabuloso work. But this much I can say: These digitalized renditions are freakin' amazing!
