Cassette Portraits. Erika Iris Simmons, a 26-year old self-taught artist, got into cassette-tape portraiture after noting how the coiled, stringy reels of old cassettes resembled Jimi Hendrix’ hair. Since then she has added similar likenesses of Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, and other icons to her portfolio. Cool. (via @glennztees)

The Dog’s Master. What an unreal photo from Nigeria. The subject is a member of a group of itinerant minstrels, performers who use hyenas to entertain crowds and sell traditional medicines. The animal handlers are all related to each other and practise a tradition passed down from generation to generation. They are known as ‘Gadawan Kura’ in Hausa (a rough translation: ‘hyena handlers/guides’). (via matarua)
