John Malkovich has made a song with Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon

This spoken word piece made me shut up and listen. It's John Malkovich reading Plato's Allegory of the Cave over a pretty nice groove. According to Rolling Stone:

"The track opens with [Sean] Lennon's sparse piano and [Yoko] Ono's distant, distinct vocals creating a minimalist background for Malkovich's text. As Ono's vocals rise up in the mix, Lennon lays down a swinging, jazzy guitar part and the kind of drum beat more often found on a lost funk 45 than an avant-garde recording. The song ends nearly as it begins, with chaotic percussion augmenting piano and Ono's vocals."

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

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.
