Spiderman 3D Street Art by Kurt Wenner

With his NASA background, perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that artist and architect Kurt Wenner has an out of this world imagination and the skills to bring passerby into the picture. When viewed from the correct angle, people standing on top of them look like they are floating in thin air, and solid concrete can look like gaping chasms. Kurt has been perfecting his technique since 1982. Now, using the skills he has perfected over 30 years, he is able to create stereoscopic images, such as the one above enabling people to walk along imaginary webs slung by Spiderman.

The World's Largest Pumpkin, Carved into Zombies by Ray Villafane

The New York Botanical Garden brought on master food sculptor Ray Villafane to carve zombies out of two giant pumpkins, one of which was the world’s heaviest pumpkin weighing 1,818.5 pounds.

The record breaking pumpkin features three creepy monsters bursting out of the huge orange shell, covered in pumpkin guts as they claw their way to freedom. He even has bits of the pumpkin suspended in air by long tooth picks as if they are just climbing their way out of it.

Beautiful Stockholm Subway Art

The Subway network of Stockholm, Sweden, has been called the longest art gallery in the world. Opened up in 1950, the Stockholm Metro system today has 100 stations; 47 underground and 53 above ground. Over 90 of the 100 subway stations have been decorated with sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, engravings and reliefs by over 150 artists. The coolest part of the Stockholm metro system is the cavemen, rainbows and much more unique artwork that are worth a glimpse.
