Wood Kubb, a PC in a tiny wooden block

One look at this computer and you'll understand why minimalist enthusiasts lust for this piece developed by French company Bleujour. It's name is Wood Kubb, and it looks like nothing but a single block of wood. This stylish, hand-crafted PC measures just under 5 inches tall, but despite its ultra-compact form still has full-size specs.

The Kubb, which comes in Linux and Windows 10 variants, has an i3 or i5 CPU, SSD storage, up to 16GB of RAM, and Intel HD onboard graphics. It has all the usual connections, too, including four USB ports, a MiniDP, mini-HDMI and WiDi that lets you connect a screen wirelessly. It doesn't come with a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, but don't worry, there are lots of wooden computer accessories that you can buy online.

Bleujour has been making cubical computers for a while now, but they're seeking help on Kickstarter to launch a sleek wooden version. The Kubb comes in three different types of wood/colors with options of white ash, brown ash and elm. Prices start at 459 euros for the early bird, with the standard retail price set at 795 euros.

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:

Yoskay Yamamoto blends his Japanese heritage with urban pop art

I have a bit of a soft spot for ceramic sculptors here at FINDING CAIN , having featured many artists in that genre before: Jason Briggs , Brett Kern , Orly Montag , Toshiya Masuda , and James DeRosso , to name a few. A few days ago, I discovered yet another artist working with ceramics named Yoskay Yamamoto . Born and raised in Japan, Yoskay is now based in California. He also draws, paints, creates street art and makes toys, but his sculptures, carved figurines, and installations are the ones which caught my eye. I did some digging, and found out a little bit more about this amazing talent. On his bio, it reads: "A self-trained illustrator, Yamamoto's artistic tastes expanded as he fell in love with the urban culture of the West coast. Yamamoto discovered a way to fuse the two different cultural backgrounds together into his work. Yamamoto nostalgically blends pop iconic characters from his new Western home with traditional and mythical Japanese elements, balancing his...
