Starkenberg Castle in the Austrian Tyrol (Tarrenz), where there is also a brewery of the same name, offers a very special attraction for tourists. Not a tour of the brewery, where beer has been brewed since 1810, but bathing in beer. Would you like to take a dip in a pool filled with beer, which is also drinkable?

We know that many, especially musicians, created many of their greatest works under the influence of intoxicating substances (drugs, alcohol), which they openly admit. But the American graphic designer Brian Pollett aka Pixel-Pusha pushed psychedelic art to the extreme, because for his project The 20 Day Binge he experimented with different drugs and created an illustration of the same motif every day under the influence of a different drug. Under the influence of 20 different drugs (cocaine, LSD, THC...), 20 illustrations were created in a completely different style.

Stephen Lund is no ordinary cartoonist. In fact, he is not even a cartoonist in the true sense of the word. He is a cyclist who rides an average of 70 kilometers per day. His journey is different every day and seemingly without a tail or a head. But when we look at things from a distance, or better, on a map where his path is plotted with the help of a GPS device, we see that he is actually drawing with a GPS device.

Check out what the world's landmarks would look like if they were in the desert.
