Engulfed in Colors

I'm obsessed with watercolors these days. This video by San Francisco rapper Kool A.D. explains why. The song has all the chill vibes, and the visuals are beautifully rendered. Directed by Youth Experimental Studio and animated by Muriel Holguín, the piece is composed entirely of vibrant watercolor paintings – 24 per second to be exact. Check out the video for Hickory, featuring Talib Kweli and Boots Riley, below.

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.

Beautiful hand-crafted books by Arion Press

Anthony Bourdain visits San Francisco's Arion Press , one of the last shops in the world where an entire book is created by hand. Blocks of text are assembled from cast typefaces. Pages are printed one at a time on centuries-old letterpress printing equipment; the pages are stitched together on the spot. Two to three limited edition books are published per year. Each is conceptually unique. [h/t: Sploid ]
