Photographer Mark Tipple realizes wave photography have been captured countless times, he wanted to make something different. As part of his Underwater Project, Mark produced the Mare Vida series that shows the glorious curling waves as it's seen on the other side. Actually, the Mare Vida series was found by chance. He says,Shooting The Underwater Project dictates no boards and definitely no wetsuits - meaning the danger of losing skin was increased tenfold. With a wary eye watching for rogue waves I watched as Mike left the water, he stumbled on a few urchin spines adding insult to injury; and I wondered if there was something else that I could shoot underwater. After a few technical adjustments (read : complete confusion with new gear); the Mare Vida series found me.[via behance]See More

Self-portrait by Steven SpazukArtist Steven Spazuk used to be a conventional painter when he dreamt of using soot as a painting medium. Holding a piece of paper on one hand and a lit candle on another, Steven accumulates enough soot on the back of the paper then using his hands or drybrush, smudges the soot to form an artwork.Years later, his work has evolved into doing lifesize portraits composed of over 200 pieces of paper. These pieces can be stored in a shoebox making it easy to transport to another exhibit.Steven Spazuk while working on his self-portrait.Steven Spazuk's father by Steven Spazuk Steven Spazuk's mother by Steven Spazuk Dr. Brenda Milner by Steven SpazukCheck out more on Steven Spazuk's website.[via yatzer]See More

Francois Perrin of Los Angeles based firm Air Architecture and Gil Lebon Delapointe designed a prototype of a fully functional Skateboard House. In this house you will be able to skateboard any areas and surfaces, Indoor and Outdoor. The radical residence is to be built in Malibu, California. Description by the architects:The PAS House is the project of a private residence, to be built in Malibu, California. In this house you will be able to skateboard any areas and surfaces, Indoor and Outdoor. The client and instigator of the project is Pierre Andre Senizergues (PAS), a former World champion and Pro Skater, Founder and Owner of Sole Technology, a Socal based Skateboard footwear and apparel Company leader in the Action sport industry with brands like Etnies, Emerica, Es and Altamont.The project to be located in a site overlooking the Pacific at the top of Malibu, was developed by the skateboarder and designer Gil Lebon Delapointe and the LA based architect, Francois Perrin. The concept of the house is a ribbon that creates a continuous surface to be skated from the Outside to the Inside.The house is divided into three separate spaces. The first one includes the living room, dining area and kitchen, the second one includes a bedroom and bathroom and the third one a skateboard practice area. Each space is skateable as the ground becomes the wall then the ceiling in a continuous surface forming a tube of a 10ft diameter. The furniture is also skateable, whether it is integrated in the curve like the sitting area, the kitchen or the bathroom or just as standing object like the dining table, the kitchen Island or the bed. Closets and drawers could be integrated in the curve too.The PAS house is the first house to be entirely used for skateboarding as well as being a traditional dwelling. It is the ultimate dream for generations of skateboarders who wanted to bring their practice into their home. In the practice of Architecture, it also represents a groundbreaking in the construction of a non Euclidian geometrical space with a continuous surface that creates a new experience of the domestic space, more fluid and dynamic and reflecting of our 21st century lifestyle. A model of the project and a full scale prototype of the Living area was presented in Paris for the exhibition Public Domaine/Skateboard Culture at la Gaite Lyrique, a New museum directed by the City of Paris. For the 25th birthday celebration of Etnies, their team of pro skaters did a demo session in the prototype.Air Architecture website.See More
