There’s no real point to posting this video, other than I expected it to be stupid and then ended up watching a decent amount of it. Basically, the guy shapes a ginormous jawbreaker into a cup by way of a lathe. It’s not worth watching for the whole 13 minutes, but it’s worth a skim. The way the colored layers are revealed is kind of...

These cool shadow faces were created by street artist Isaac Cordal out of standard-issue kitchen strainers, and they’re surprisingly detailed. They were created for a project called Cement Bleak. I would’ve never looked at a kitchen strainer and thought “I bet I could use that to make shadow faces.” But I’m glad Mr. Cordal did, because they’re a good reminder to try and look at things around you in a new...

I’m currently looking around my place to see if there is anything worth melting down to turn into sculptures. I figure...

This great description from Christopher over at Colossal sums it up pretty well: “Using a process that could be the new definition of meticulous, Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers...

Really cool concept and even better execution by artist Guy Laramee. It’s appropriate that the books are carved into landscapes, as books sort of serve as landscapes in which the imagination can roam. I especially like the one that is made to look like a cave of some sort. The kid in me really wants to see a Narnia-themed...
