He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Portraits
I love He-Man and these Masters of the Universe portraits by MUTI are just brilliant. And you can even download the images to use as a wallpaper! From Behance: "We illustrated a series of portraits based on characters from the iconic 1980's animated TV series, Masters of the Universe. We created a 'good guys' and 'bad guys' background available as a free download for your computer or mobile devices."

Entertainment photographer Larry Busacca on the tools he used to shoot the photos at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscar Party: "The D4 was used as the main camera for the majority of the party photos and much of the red carpet. The D-800 was dedicated to the images shot with the Profoto lighting I hung on the lighting truss on the red carpet."
Cut Copy makes 3D printed music video
Cut Copy's new music video We Are Explorers was made with 200 3D printed figurines. From CoCreate: The project would require roughly 200 figurines which were used in groups of eight, for each type of movement--that is, running sequences used eight figurines, looped, to create the effect. The figurines were printed with a yellow, UV-reactive filament, and shot at night under black light flashlights." You can download the 3D files for free, print them and re-imagine the narrative with your own stop-motion!

Sony pulls down Breaking Bad posters from the internet
You have until the next 24 hours or so to enjoy Zsolt Molnar's cool minimalistic posters for each of the Breaking Bad episodes. He will be removing them after being told to do so by Sony Entertainment who owns the copyright to Breaking Bad. Hmmm.
He writes: "I was made a promise that Sony is going to work out a way to use my artworks in an official way, which - I think - would be the best solution for all parties, including you, the Breaking Bad fans."

Amazon River Quest Boat Ride in 2 mins!
The full 15 mins long Amazon River Quest Boat Ride in 2 mins! River Safari's Amazon River Quest Boat Ride is a slow, open-top boat ride that allows visitors to meet close to 30 species of animals living along the edges of the Amazon River. Animals featured include the jaguar, Brazilian tapir and giant anteater.
The boat ride is a very popular attraction at River Safari so my advice is to book your timeslot as soon as you arrive. River Safari opens from 9am and it's best to reach there between 9 to 10 so that you can book your Amazon Quest Boat Ride. Limited seats are available and timeslot bookings are based on a first come first served basis.
River Safari: Giant Pandas and Red Pandas
The Giant Panda Forest at River Safari Singapore is the largest panda exhibit in Southeast Asia, and home to giant pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia. The upper region of the Yangtze River is where the elusive giant panda calls home. One of the world's most adored and protected rare animals, this peaceful creature is considered a national treasure in China. With only 1,600 giant pandas left in the wild, it has become the world's most recognised symbol for wildlife protection and conservation.
The Giant Panda Forest is also home to the red pandas. The red panda, also known as the lesser pandas is said to be the original panda, having been discovered about 50 years before its giant counterpart. Also known as the firefox due to its bright rust-coloured furry coat and fox-like face, the red panda is slightly larger than size of a domestic cat. it shares some similar traits with the giant panda as both feed predominantly on bamboo and have extra "thumbs" to hold their food.
Which is cuter? Kai Kai and Jia Jia or the red pandas? I prefer the red pandas!
River Safari is the newest addition to Wildlife Reserves Singapore's portfolio of award-winning parks. It is nestled between Singapore's two award-winning wildlife parks -- Singapore Zoo and Night Safari.
