I Break The News

Oh how we wish we could express ourselves as beautiful in writing as Erin Hanson can! We have just found this young and gifted writer who lives in sunny Queensland, Australia. Describing herself very modestly as a non-professional poet we have to ask: What makes someone a certified poet? If we let Erin 's work speak for itself it reveals her remarkable talent - articulate and imaginative. On her Blog ThePoeticUnderground.com you can find more of her stories and musings. Reading her poems is really a treat for the soul in this fast paced world. If she is not a true poet - then who is.. (all poems & photo ©  Erin Hanson )

Should we just let these enchanting photographs speak for themselves..? No? Okay, then we have a few infos about them to share with you. Today we are featuring the talents of Olivia Bee . The Oregon born, NYC based photographer is very young, yet already pretty accomplished! When it comes to taking stunning shots, her self-pronounced goal is to capture the moment without interrupting it . The underwater photo (our favorite) is a real life moment and not a staged photo shoot. These images have a sentimental feel to them and Olivia has the ability to truly catch the magic of the moment. At only 20 years old, she has already worked with Adidas,  L'Oreal and several magazines . She even held a TED Talk !! See her emotionally charged images here or just visit her website .

The creative output of 'entertainer' Benedetto Bufalino has caught our att ention! This former car, has been transformed into something very useful on a hot summer day: Cool down and get comfortable in the Seat Ibiza Jacuzzi ! The interior has been completely removed and was replaced by a pool insert. We assume, you can still roll it around to find the perfect location to park it. The Seat jacuzzi project, is not the only exciting and interesting creation by Benedetto. He has also managed, to lift a mobile home up into the sky , as you can see on the picture above. Surreal! Another strike of genius, was turning a phone booth into an aquarium . To see everything this imaginative artist has been working on so far, click HERE . We expect more great things to come!

When it comes to IBreakTheNews.com - you never really know what to expect! Well, other than the occasional cute puppy picture. Today, we want to share an extremely moving poem with you, which we have found online. The author is talented, Texas-based poet Kathryn Dixon . If you are going through a break-up right now, this might help you because you will see, that there is somebody out there who can relate. Click here to find Kathryn's Hello Poetry account with 2 more poems. We are impressed!   You Fade You fade... Like a bruise. Like the ones your mouth left on my neck and shoulders with its lustful pressure. Your teeth, which brought moments of bright pain/pleasure, Are now bared in an artificial, animal smile. Your lips, which parted to taste my skin like it was salvation, Barely part now to speak to me. You whispered my name like a prayer. You screamed it like a curse. You sighed it in contentment, And now you won't even speak it in passing. ...

Food artists - this Blog needs more food artists! :) Today we want to put the spotlight on talented Malaysian artist and architect Hong Yi, who mostly goes by the nickname Red Hong Yi and already has many fans online. She is able to create beautiful images, with food that you probably have in your fridge too.   We like her creations, because they are so positive and uplifting . Red Hong's favorite themes are nature, animals and pop culture. She is also the one, who created a portrait of Jackie Chan entirely made out of chopsticks ! If you want to see more inspiring (food) art, her Instagram will be of high interest to you! (all photos © Red Hong Yi )

This is creepy, this is good = This is creepy good! For some reason we think Tim Burton would love it. Like straight out of a magical forest, these gripping images will make you take a second look. The talented photographer who created them, is Laura Williams from Cambridge in the UK. We see great potential, and this is why we think Laura is one to watch !  The artist, who is only 18 years old, had to experiment a bit to get to these bewitching self-portrait results. She said on her tumblr : 'A good trick I’ve found, is to focus on something where you plan to be standing (I often use a scarf or something), then go stand there and I use my remote to release the shutter.' Find prints of her work HERE or like Laura on FB . Spooky! (all photos © Laura Williams )

Hello there, it's an ARTISTIC Wednesday dear readers! Today we want to introduce you to the talents of illustrator Vince Low . The Malaysian artist, who is based in Kuala Lumpur, is obviously gifted. All he needs to create these portraits, taken from his project called ' FACES ', is a pencil and some white sheets of paper. Vince describes his working techniques and concept like this: 'When I was planning the execution style, I was looking for something that screams simplicity , which I intended to balance out with some complex crafting.' Well, he definitely achieved that. For more of his work, go to his website or click HERE to see his portfolio . Wicked! (all artwork © Vince Low )

Today we want to familiarize you, with the astounding work of Southern California based Photographer Jessica Trinh .

Chuppy was only 7 years old, when he passed away just weeks ago, from an auto immune system disease. :( We are thankful, that Jessica introduced us to her best friend.
