Honda reveals half bike, half car concept

This mean machine is called Project 2&4 Concept, a road-legal sports car that Honda says combines "the freedom of a motorcycle and the maneuverability of a car." It looks like an oversized go-kart, but don't be fooled by its appearance.

The vehicle is powered by the 999-cc V4 from one of Honda's MotoGP motorcycles. Matched to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the 215 horsepower engine delivers 158kW at 13,000rpm, with peak torque of "over" 118Nm delivered at 10,500rpm. The Project 2&4 Concept will be on display at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. There is no word, however, if the single-seater will ever see production.

These skateboards look like something you'd want to hang on your wall than ride

If you're looking for the most artistic skateboards in town, then you just have to head to The Skateroom . They sell decks that feature the work of legendary artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Ai Weiwei. Just recently, the company has teamed up with Vik Muniz to produce these beautiful decks that are true collector's items. They don't come cheap though. Each skateboard will set you back $350.

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.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
