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.

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.
