The post Carpet Nerd is Creating Amazing Rugs Inspired By Popular Culture appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Before turning to carpet making, Dalt was planning to get a job at a college. His plans fell through after the pandemic hit, and he started making pop culture-themed carpets while looking for something creative to do during the lockdown.
“Covid hit so I had no job and nothing to do, really, since everyone had to stay inside. So, my ADHD brain had to come up with something, and that’s when I found rug making. It started as a hobby and turned into a small business,” he told Bored Panda.
Lockdowns are long behind us, but Dalt’s carpets are still going strong. He has over 200,000 followers on both TikTok and Instagram, but what’s the secret of his success?
The reason why his carpets became a viral sensation was his decision to mostly focus on popular culture. They usually feature cartoon characters from beloved anime such as Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, and Naruto, and that’s the main reason why they’re so popular.

]]>Next to each sculpture, there’s a card that states its made-up zoological name and the year when the character first appeared on TV.
“Initially, I wanted to make them stylized as dinosaur fossils set up in a museum environment, but later decided against it, as the skulls didn’t look very recognizable on their own—especially with parts broken or missing. That’s why I opted for (a) less damaged look and also added some assets to each of the characters,” Hodas told This is Colossal.

]]>The post Kenny Sharf’s Street Art Bursts with Color appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>The 60-year old artist has kept following the same guiding principle throughout the 30 years of his career – reaching beyond the elitist boundaries of fine art, so that he can connect to popular culture, i.e. the people, through his art.
Sharf got his B.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Being surrounded by academic artists doesn’t necessarily make you an elitist, but it calls for more introspection.
Sharf’s work has inspired generations of street artists. The smiley-like faces he spray-paints on walls or on canvases have become a recognizable feature in pop art today, as have his colorful, cartoonish depictions of the natural world.

]]>After one Twitter user shared a tweet about a typical professor from most movies, many people replied with their own observations. The whole topic went viral pretty soon and these are some of the best tweets we could find.
Hi, i’m a ‘nerdy’ girl in your local high school, you probably haven’t noticed me because i wear glasses & my hair in a tight braid. That is, until some girls give me a makeover for the prom, i take off the glasses & let my hair down (literally) then you see my ‘true beauty’
