Check out the amazing work of New York photographer Phillip Toledano. Don’t miss Video Gamer portraits or Hope & Fear, which, believe it or not, lives up to it’s description as the external manifestation of the internal desires and paranoia that are adrift in America. And Arctic Circle is nice too.

Wanna get a few pixels of your smiling face on google maps? Just be near Sydney Harbor on January 26th.

Great things spring English artist Susan Stockwell’s obsession with maps. Take a look at the Empire Dress, a Victorian style dress made from maps of the British Isles; or The Americas, a map of North and South America made from used coffee filters. She’s also made a lace from the pattern of South London arterial roads.

As bizarre as it seems that packs of coyotes are now living in Golden Gate Park, right in the center of San Francisco, it’s worth noting that dense urban areas are actually great habitat for coyotes. Read more about how coyotes are thriving in Chicago.

The work of New Zealand photographer Yvonne Todd is so weird, you’ll like it. There’s a background hum when you look at the portraits.
