Party time in cologne. Around one and a half million revelers took part in this years st Carnival Celebration this year and as always their costumes were bursting with colors and amidst this rainbow a very familiar shade of orange could be made out instantly donald trump dressing up as the u. S. President was a major trend among carnival goers this year. This ill thought see how people often told me i looked like trump so i decided to dress up like him. But unicorns seem to outnumber all other costumes a colognes carnival is a hit with the ladies well with most of the. Lesser unlucky status never had anyone. Many revelers invested serious amounts of time and energy into creating their outfits. So i say it took two hours to get dressed up and apply this makeup this kind of this is it historical cost just delicious costume. Another favorite pirate costumes. And a large number of pantomimes or out and about as well. But even non muslims were occasionally and a loss for words. But. Those who decided at the last minute to dress up as trump are out of luck because trump wigs were sold out almost everywhere even at didos a major costume retailer near cologne this family run business has been selling costumes for decades but even they were surprised by the run on trump we.

After a short time nobody cared who was dressed as what you only thing that mattered was having fun together. Well from religion in costing return to illusions like no other how italy gives new meaning to the phrase you wont but i his work of mind boggling the british artist paint images of everyday objects and then places them next to the real thing and because the video revealing the illusion the detail it isnt what is so intricate that it is constantly tricking the viewer and if you dont believe me then watch this and see if you can guess the object from the image. Which of these objects is real and which is a drawing. These internet videos are about everyday objects but not all of them are as real as they look. At. Drawings that of fooling our senses and a few seconds of time lapse video solve the riddle of the optical illusions. The works of british artist howard lee are showing us the limitations of our perception of. What makes a video great is the moment at which it becomes something you didnt expect it to be whether its that you were looking at a drawing and you didnt realize it was a drawing or whether you were looking at a drawing that then started moving and becomes an animation and mixes with reality its the single point at which something unexpected happens thats the sort of magic moment and thats for me what really makes it the drawing is only the beginning of lees work he films the hours long Creative Process of drawing the actual artwork is the finished video. Prefers to exhibit his works on the internet. Its not elitist in any way it doesnt require somebody to endorse it or to put money behind it it doesnt matter how old you are or how experienced you are how qualified you are anybody can draw video painting an artwork or a video creation or anything online and its judged purely on its own merits lee has a growing community of fans on social networks the artist now earns a living selling prints and working for advertising clients.

Youve got the media so you need the intensity of what youre using to match the color intensity on the screen you need different media so you know you need things like a kind of white gel pain which are going to. Theyre going to give you the highlight that you need. Its going to be the same is the intensity of the reflection of the objects.

Choose this his subjects from everyday life hes constantly experimenting with different colors and materials to create the perfect illusion. Often a few seconds of video take days to make. And in the future the production process could even get more complex. Id like to make more videos which maybe have more of a sense of story maybe bring some of the followers into the videos and so i can combine drawing and reality on the same plane salgado ive got a hundred thousand ideas that id like to try out so yeah its just finding the time to do the mini.
