Artist creates haunting figures from old VHS tapes

The VHS may be cool for nostalgia sake, but let's admit that there was nothing good about those videocassettes as a format. I hated the bad resolution, the awful sound quality, and most of all, the Be Kind Rewind sticker. So I wasn't surprised when multimedia artist Philip Ob Rey decided to create these monsters out of discarded VHS tapes. They're not worth saving, and they'd be better off in Europe — as creepy monolithic figures.

Ob Rey, who is currently based in Iceland, has written a narrative about these haunting creatures, which you can read on his website.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

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.

Watching this video makes me feel like a tiny and trivial organism in the face of nature's relentless power.
