I saw an artist sell thousands of dollars’ worth of melted stinky ice! 😶 I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw an artist selling hot dog-shaped ice sculptures made from frozen hot dog water. (WHAT!?!) The sculptures are shipped in unrefrigerated containers, so they arrive as puddles of melted hot dog water. 😐 I was intrigued and did some research. To my surprise, the artist had sold 394 of these sculptures, and they were all sold out. The hot dog mold used to make the sculptures is also up for auction, with a current bid of $10,420.69. 😧 This made me realize a few things: 1. People are stupid. 2. Stupidity is subjective. 3. There is a market for everything, no matter how strange or ridiculous it may seem. 4. The service is as good as the seller. This artist was able to sell 394 of these sculptures because they were creative and marketed their product effectively. And with this, the Internet continues to deliver surprises. I'm curious: What is the most audacious service or product you've seen being sold online?

Nature is in a pinch. Without humans, it's just passively waiting for another asteroid to hit Earth, natural climate change which will kill 90+% of all species, or just wait 5 billion more years for the sun to explode, and then, it's game over. On the other hand, if humans get their shit together, nature via humans can fly off of this rock, and spread across the galaxy, transforming it into a giant garden of Eden. It's just waiting for humans to awaken to this bigger purpose for their existence, stop their self-hatred and regain their self-esteem. Nature doesn't give a crap if we kill polar bears. How many "polar bear like" creatures could exist if humans spread life throughout the galaxy? On the other hand, if we crawl back into our caves, in a technopoor society, feeling guilty for our reckless behaviour with nature, then nature will have lost on all fronts.

This artwork touched me and I was wondering why? After some soul searching, it struck me. For me it is the about the human relationship with nature. We literally mould nature to our advantage. Often we even squeeze it. As humans we are also a very large and dominant force. We are now in disproportionate numbers and impact combined with the nature around us. What does this sculpture trigger for you? #regeneration #circulareconomy #nature 🎭 credit: Mehmet Ali Uysal in the outskirts of Liege, Belgium

Art is subjective; that’s what makes it wonderful. Art can be found in everything from gift wrap to priceless paintings to signed photographs. These days, it seems as though the rules of what makes art “good” have been thrown out the window in favor of unusual and unorthodox pieces. We’re in favor of weird art, but we’re not always a fan of the frames that come with the art. You can purchase interesting art from several sources: galleries, cruise ships, auctions, online sites, etc. The pieces can either be framed or unframed and if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to pick which one you want. It’s easy to think that choosing the framed option is better because it seems like you're getting a deal; the art is ready to hang on your wall. However, that isn’t always the case. Most of the time, the framing is just expensive and bad.

🍫 In the Galeries Royales Saint Hubert, also known as the Chocolate Arcade in Brussels, a sculpture of a man with a big question mark over his head caught my attention. ❓ There are actually many different versions of the same sculpture, but I think the selectivity in perception and the question mark itself interested me more. Just like the statue, question marks are above our heads. It is up to us to get rid of them, otherwise they will weigh us down just like the statue. ❌ Some we can reduce by planning, some by making radical decisions, some by taking action, some by deciding that they are no longer important to us. ❓What is your biggest question mark? I wish you a wonderful week free of question marks! #personaldevelopment #mindset #strategicdecisions

When an artist creates a sculpture, he has to keep chipping away. He doesn’t hit the chisel with the hammer once, and suddenly all the excess stone disappears, revealing a beautiful masterpiece. He keeps hitting it and hitting it, chipping away at the stone. And that’s true of life, too. Nothing really worthwhile ever comes easy in life. You keep hitting it and going after it, and your life gradually becomes a masterpiece of God’s grace. The fact is, great people are really just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. Great people don’t know how to quit. #mediacom #videoproducer #videoproduction #corporatevideo #events #videomarketing

Make sure your precious photos and artwork are framed properly. Cheap frames are not always bad, but cheap framing is. #photography #familyphotography #framing
