Floating Christmas Tree in Rio de Janeiro
Thousands flocked to watch Rio de Janeiro's famous holiday tradition - the inauguration of the huge floating Christmas tree. The crowd cheered as the lights blazed and the fireworks emerged from the world's largest floating Christmas tree, a gigantic metal structure as tall as a 27-story tower block. The Christmas tree, first erected in 1996, constitutes Rio de Janeiro's third biggest tourist event after the pre-lenten Carnival and New Year's Eve on Copacabana and other beaches. This year's highlight were the pictures of Brazil's famous sites inside the 27 Christmas balls that decorated the tree.

Mickey Mouse X Transformers
Wow! Another slightly retarded crossover project involving a Disney character and some other 'cool' brand. Retarded as it may be, I'm still a fan of its weirdness! Apparently, for Tomy Takara's 25th Anniversary, they decided to team up with legendary character Mickey Mouse to do a special collab toy which is set to be released feb 2009 for approx $45 USD! (Look out for the limited grey edition too)

Clear Cut Robot To Combat Forest Fires

Although only in concept phase, this could prove to be an invaluable fire-tool...

A massive 160 meter long and 24 meter high Santa Claus has been sculpted out of ice in China’s northern city of Harbin.
The sculpture is said to be the largest ice Santa in the world, complete with beard and hat.

Christian Lorenz Scheurer
This guy has an incredible resume. He has worked as a visual consultant and concept artist for feature films such as The Golden Compass, Superman Returns, Animatrix, Final Fantasy (Spirits Within), Titanic and The Fifth Element! Each concept piece he comes up with is filled with detailed sections that would have taken hours and hours of hard graft, both with a pencil and tablet.
Click on Images to enlarge...
He currently has a show at the Gnomon Gallery in CA, USA which ends January 9th...
