Opening Credits for 'True Detective' Season 2

So much to enjoy in the first episode of True Detective's second season. It's too early to tell whether it will live up to the series' Emmy-winning first season, but great performances all around, with Colin Farrell proving to be the right choice to play Detective Ray Velcoro, and not just because of his physical appearance. (Said my wife while eating soggy french fries, during one of his scenes: "Ang gwapo talaga n'ya!") Taylor Kitsch brings remarkable depth to the character of Officer Paul Woodrugh. Rachel McAdams is reliable as always, and personally, I loved the opening credits.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

'Star Wars' cutaway illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!

Unsettling wooden sculptures by Tung Ming-Chin

Tung Ming-Chin is one of my favorite new finds. The Taiwanese artist from Changhua crafts sculptures of human figures that appear to be trapped in wood, crying for help, and trying relentlessly to come out. There's something distinctly unsettling about his work. But, like a good horror movie, you won't turn away. Thanks to Billie, who agrees sculptors are fascinating creatures.
