This clever 3D-printed Solder Scroll is by Victor Designs. You load the pen-like object with solder—it's adjustable to accommodate diameters from 0.3mm to 1.5mm—and can then dispense it precisely via the knob.
The files for the open-source design are free and available on Printables.
These StakeLights are by Washington-based camping gear company UCO.
They're tent pegs with a built-in LED light, meant to make it easier to set up a tent in the dark.
They also make it easier to locate your tent at night, like when you're returning from a midnight call-of-nature answering.
The LEDs can be removed from the stakes, if you need a portable light in a pinch.
They're perhaps better suited to car campers, as opposed to those hiking in with everything on their backs; the stakes weigh 37 grams apiece (as opposed to the 10-15 grams your average tent peg weighs), and that's without the AAA battery each stake requires, another potential hassle.
That said, they'll put out 17 lumens of light for up to 10 hours. They can also be set to strobe for up to 24 hours, if you're in an emergency situation.
From swirling spirals at Druidston to vibrant stone explosions at Freshwater West, Jon Foreman’s 2025 land art continued to reshape coastal landscapes into hypnotic, ephemeral beauty. This collection features ten new sculptures created across Wales and beyond—including collaborations with Layla Parkin—and highlights his evolving experimentation with form, texture, and color. You’ll find new installations from Hualien, Taiwan to the Gann Estuary in Dale.
A spiral formation of dark stones arranged concentrically on sand, drawing the viewer’s eye inward toward the center of the sculpture.
Jon Foreman: Although I love it when a big wave takes the piece in one, Sometimes the gently lapping waves can provide an extra element to a piece. In this case the small crease lines in the sand – a reaction to the stones being there provide an extra essence of motion to a work that already suggests that. I respond to nature, nature responds to me. A conversation, if you like.
Circuitus Meridiem — Druidston, Hamlet in Wales
A radiant stone mandala on the sand, transitioning from white pebbles at the center to grey and black stones at the edges, forming a sun-like pattern.
Sol Colorum — Freshwater West
A vibrant circular piece created using multicolored pebbles arranged to blend from warm oranges and reds to purples and blues.
Halved — Lindsway Bay, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire
Stones arranged in two opposing arcs, divided down the center, resembling a yin-yang or halved shape with contrasting pebble textures.
Lapis Folium — Gann Estuary (Dale), Wales
A leaf-shaped structure made of stacked red stones, aligned precisely to create a three-dimensional pointed form on sandy terrain.
Augere — Druidston, Hamlet in Wales
A wide circular composition using gradients of dark and pale stones to create a glowing center surrounded by layered outer rings.
Ripple — Qixingtan Beach, Hualien, Taiwan
A hypnotic spiral of black and white stones forming a galaxy-like swirl directly on the wet shoreline during sunset.
Jon Foreman: As a Ripple, through water undulates and expands, as does the flow of this artwork. Symbolic of the expansion of the festival and the waves it makes, bringing people together from across seas and transcending languages. This piece is also an evolution and expansion on the piece created by myself and Terry in Hualien last year. Spent a few days on this, very slow work, but luckily the sun was behind the clouds this time, so it wasn’t as hot as last time!, we built this piece to last for the festival time so between every large stone there are three small pebbles that act as a tripod for the next stone, even the smallest stacks feature this technique. it was very slow work by comparison to my more floor based work. The overall form is influenced by the ripple effect caused by a droplet in water. I have a fascination with creating flow with such solid objects as stones. I think there’s more to be experimented with for this form.
Colos Chaos — Freshwater West
A collaboration with Layla Parkin, featuring hundreds of stacked stone towers that together form a geometric explosion or starburst.
Jon Foreman: It was quite a rush towards the end as the sun was going down, I would have liked to have adjusted some bits even after looking at pictures now, even so I’m still happy with it!
Shell Moon — Sandy Haven Beach, UK
A crescent moon shape composed entirely of hundreds of circular shells, arranged to fade out toward the edges of the arc.
Radiance — Freshwater West
A vibrant circular piece created with pebbles in a sunburst pattern, featuring spiky rays radiating out from a central void.
Jon Foreman’s 2025 works continue to blur the line between impermanence and precision. Each sculpture, shaped by the natural surroundings, turns remote beaches into outdoor galleries—inviting us to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with the land.
From brutal truths spray-painted on walls to cleverly subverted bus stop ads, this collection of graffiti, stickers, and rogue billboards captures a wave of unrest, sarcasm, and resistance sweeping through public spaces. Anonymous artists challenge billionaires, late-stage capitalism, and societal complacency—reminding us that the streets are still speaking.
“If You Can Afford to Send Katy Perry to Space” – Near Amazon’s HQ in London, UK
This modified JCDecaux billboard near St Leonard’s Hospital features Jeff Bezos laughing beside Katy Perry in a space suit, with bold black text reading: “If you can afford to send Katy Perry to space, you can afford to pay more taxes.” A direct and humorous critique of tax inequality and billionaire extravagance. By this artist collective.
“Consume, Be Silent, Die”
Graffiti mimicking a television frame spells out: “Consume, be silent, die,” dripping with black spray paint. Two children pose beneath it—one seated, the other stretching out their arms—turning the critique into an unsettling yet playful scene of youth against indoctrination.
“The Only Dangerous Minority Is the Rich”
This bold sticker pasted on a tagged utility box cuts through the noise with pure typographic protest. The statement plays on language often used against marginalized groups and flips it toward economic power structures.
“Poverty Exists…”
A handmade sign on the back of a pickup truck declares: “Poverty exists not because we can’t feed the poor, but because we can’t satisfy the rich.” The words are painted in bold, uneven lettering—raw, mobile, and unforgettable.
“Do You Believe in Life After Work?”
A twist on the classic Cher lyric, this minimal spray-painted message on a concrete wall invites a deep reflection on the meaning of freedom and the trap of wage labor.
“Make Humans Great Again”
With a cheeky nod to political slogans, this graffiti flips nationalist messaging into a call for compassion. The scrawled heart at the bottom softens the bold declaration.
“The Cost of Freedom”
This text-only piece reads: “The cost of freedom has never been so expensive,” neatly painted on a white billboard frame. The stark, all-black lettering amplifies the message’s weight.
“You Are Closer to the Street…”
This sharp sidewalk commentary reminds passersby: “You are closer to the street than you will ever be to any billionaire.” Written in white marker on a discarded fridge, it turns garbage into truth-telling.
“Do Not Panic, Organize”
This stenciled mural uses visual metaphor: small black fish are shown forming the shape of a giant fish about to consume a larger lone predator. Message: “Do not panic—organize.” A call for collective action.
“We’re All in the Same Boat” – Artwork by Banksy in Lowestoft, UK
Painted under a bridge, three children dressed as explorers peer out from a makeshift paper boat. The phrase “We’re all in the same boat” adds layers of irony, highlighting economic and environmental vulnerability.
A chalkboard menu sign delivers a sarcastic jab at American political culture. Written in casual, café-style handwriting, the joke lands hard—and fast.
From cheeky bar signs to high-impact guerrilla billboards, these street-level commentaries reveal a shared frustration with the global status quo. Anonymous artists around the world are reclaiming public space to raise difficult questions—and they’re not asking nicely.
From a unicorn rhino in East London to a giant lynx made of trash in Lisbon, this collection brings together ten wildly imaginative artworks where animals dominate walls and streets across the globe. With hyperrealistic fur, surreal twists, and upcycled materials, these pieces invite passersby to look again—and then again. Let’s explore the creatures that roam the walls of Torrefarrera, Cheltenham, Melbourne, and beyond.
Chicken Punk by LexusOne in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
A giant photorealistic rooster wearing a hoop earring and leg bands is painted on a beige wall, towering with presence and detail. The feathers transition from golden and earthy browns to iridescent blues and purples.
The Giant Kitten by Oriol Arumí in Torrefarrera, Catalonia, Spain
Painted for the Torrefarrera Street Art Festival, this photorealistic kitten peers curiously from a black square as if hiding behind a window. The mural contrasts sharply with the textured red-brick building it’s on.
Dog and Fish by Nina Valkhoff in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK
This vibrant mural features a spotted dog with soft eyes surrounded by giant magnolia blossoms and a flowing goldfish. Painted in a dreamy color palette of purples, pinks, and blues. More by Nina Valkhoff here!
The Squirrel and the Robin by Curtis Hylton in Oskarshamn, Sweden
A detailed and softly blended mural of a red squirrel with yellow-orange flowers in its fur, and a robin nestled in its bushy tail. The background is muted, letting the autumn palette stand out.
I Am a Unicorn by Pure Evil in East London, England
A comically stoic white rhino stares forward while graffiti above declares: “I AM A UNICORN.” The piece balances sarcasm and simplicity on a weathered garage door.
Looking Tyred – Elephant Sculpture by Villu Jaanisoo in Jyväskylä, Finland
This life-sized elephant is sculpted entirely from used car tires, layered and twisted to mimic folds of skin, tusks, and trunk. Created by Estonian sculptor Villu Jaanisoo, the piece merges industrial waste with natural form, standing tall in a public space in central Finland. More photos here!
Constructed from plastic waste and discarded objects, this massive lynx sculpture bursts with color and texture. Each piece—bottles, bins, toys—forms the fur and face in dazzling assemblage. More photos here!
Parrot Mural by Carlos Alberto GH in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico
A 3D-style mural of a scarlet macaw mid-flight, with open wings reaching toward a viewer. The illusion is enhanced by the background perspective, tricking the eye beautifully.
Blue Wren by Geoffrey Carran in Melbourne, Australia
This serene mural depicts a blue wren perched on a blooming cherry branch. The vivid pink petals and detailed feathers contrast perfectly against the dark gray wall.
In cities and towns across the world, animals have taken over walls, alleys, and abandoned buildings—not as intruders, but as muses. Whether crafted from trash, tires, or spray paint, these murals and sculptures remind us of nature’s enduring place in our urban lives, told through fur, feathers, and imagination.
It’s very endearing to me how many people are willing to keep an eye on a video feed so they can push a button and let a fish in the Netherlands get to the other side of a dam.
It is genuinely baffling to me, in a very kind and positive way, especially coupled with the local news continually going several shades of ‘wtf, this thing is a roaring success again and we don’t quite get why’. They’ve already quadrupled their capacity for simultaneous clicks and it’s still nowhere near enough and there’s just… Bewilderment.
I think people want to help the environment in small but tangible ways, which is hard right now because of.. well… because of The Horrors. And being able to say 'wow! I helped this creature cross a dam’ makes you feel good.
I also think that most people can relate to a small, helpless creature trying to get from one place to another and there’s a FUCKIN WALL in the way.
But to come back to point 1- Citizen Science fills a hole in the soul that wanted to go out on adventures and discover things when we were younger, but the study of it was hard or we didn’t have the money or our schools were garbage. But you don’t have to have a degree to do things like… press a button or download and use an app, or count or transcribe notes.
Anyways- here’s some Citizen Science links if the Fish Doorbell makes you feel happy and you yearn for more ways to help scientists do stuff:
