Street Faces by Aurélien Fontanet
When you laugh, the world laughs with you. Often times literally with creepy faces that appear to be built in to the surrounding sidewalks, walls, and devices. Quietly they watch, judging… contemplating some secret fate that is yet to befall you and fostering a perverse pleasure in not being able to warn you (they are inanimate objects after all, they can’t talk, you know. You’re probably just imagining things anyways).

Forget about Planking! Hadoukening and Vadering seems to be the next big thing on the internet! I love it :D
Sometimes the internet is the right kind of weird.

“Mark Wagner certainly appreciates the value of a dollar, especially in terms of creativity. The American artist produces all kinds of Currency Collages, cutting up dollar bills and transforming them into works of art. The artist is quite interested in the symbolic power that money holds, and so he transforms what is, ultimately, just a piece of paper into these intricate compositions.
Drawing on every detail of the paper currency, Wagner slices up each dollar bill and rearranges them into unique and unexpected scenes. The artist says, “The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? Blade and glue transform it; reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers; striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable—the foreign in the familiar.”

3D Painted Sculptures by Keng Lye
Hey cool photo bro, right? NOPE, that’s a painting, only leveled up. Inspired by the prestigious Riusuke Fukahori, Keng Lye utilizes Riusuke’s technique to create 3D still life with stratified resin, building his aquatic pets layer by layer with each new coat containing a small painted piece of the illusion. The end result is a multi-dimensional photorealistic painting existing on myriad planes yet always beyond touch.
