We Do Phoshop

On June 26, a Korean language Facebook page called ‘We Do Phoshop‘ appeared online. The site solicited Photoshop requests, and the ensuing shops weren’t exactly what clients had in mind. Or what anyone had in mind, for that matter. We all agree that these Koreans are making the internet a better place. Here are a few examples of some requests made and the results:

Request: ‘Please add a bear or something.’

Food that cooks itself

London photographer Catherine Losing has captured food on the path to its own destruction as it prepares to cook itself in her latest project The Serpent that Ate its Own Tail. An eel provides the electricity to cook its pig friend’s eyeball after an octopus holds a knife that will dismember it. Morbid and intriguing, we simply couldn’t resist putting this one up!
