Art you can eat by Michelle Wibowo


You know what's cooler than art? Edible art. World-renowned sugar artist and cake sculptor Michelle Wibowo doesn't just bake and decorate cakes, she designs and sculpts them into beautiful pieces of artwork. She's won numerous awards, and her creations are exhibited around the world.

Her most recent project is a gingerbread replica of King's Landing. Aside from the fictional city, the British artist has also recreated Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet in jelly beans, Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam in marshmallows and cake sprinkles, and a portrait of Prince William and Prince George in chocolate bars.





Be sure to check out Michelle 's website to see more of her creations, and her blog and Facebook page for updates on her latest projects.

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!  [h/t: Galactic Academy ]

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.
