3-celebration

As is tradition, each and every Friday, we like to round up our favourite Internet findings from the week gone. So get a cuppa, sit back, relax and indulge yourself in this week’s Best of the Internet!

I think this week we’ll start with something which was destined to go viral. Last week we saw Channing Tatum parodying Volvo and Claude Van Damme, well this week we have Seth Rogan and James Franco absolutely burning Kanye West in this hilarious parody of Kanye’s video for his track, Bound 2.

Next up are these incredible works of art by makeup artist Valeriya Kutsan and retouching expert Veronica Ershova. Photographed by Moscow-based photographer Alexander Khokhlov , the collection outlines the visually transformative power of  paint and makeup.

Staying on the arty theme, this next video encompasses two of my favourite things, awesomely shot video and street art. Orchestrated by street artist Sofles, it really showcases some great talent on the scene.

And now for our viral of the week! If you’ve not seen this video at some point in the last few days then chances are that you live under a rock somewhere far, far away… It’s normally accepted that if a video gets one million plus hits in around a week or so then it can be classed as viral. So how does over 40 MILLION in FOUR DAYS sound? Also it’s hilarious… Enjoy!

Next up is a collection of photographs by Swedish photographer and retoucher,  Erik Johansson . Abolsutely incredible retouching skills. Click the image to see the full collection!

Lastly this week we have the greatest live tweet / note passing exchange that has ever taken place. I’m not going to give it any more introduction over than that. I can only assure you that it’ll be the greatest thing you’ve read all day. It all started like this… (Click the image to see the full article)

That’s it for this week, which can only mean one thing… It’s nearly the weekend! Look around you at all your colleagues squirming in their swivel chairs doing their best to look busy. In just a few hours they’ll be bowling down Dean Street with a bottle vodka in their hand before falling head first down the stairs in Soho Arts Club… Good old Friday!
