The Organized Chaos of Tobias Kroeger

Tobias Kroeger is an artist from Bremen, Germany. His roots trace back to graffiti and I just can't get enough of his work, both on canvas and on walls. Each piece exudes an aggressive explosion of color and an expression of loud, unconstrained energy.

Tobias painted his first graffiti at the age of 12, and his work was mainly influenced by the New York graffiti scene. In 1997 he started to work as a freelance graphic artist and changed in 2013 from graphic design and public murals to canvas and contemporary art. Follow him on Instagram to keep up with his works.

The building blocks of your childhood dreams have finally arrived

Mini Materials in Winter Springs, Florida produces beautiful miniaturized construction materials at 1:12 scale. The cinder blocks are made from actual cement, the bricks are made from real terra cotta, and the pallets (which double as coasters) are built from real wood. For added durability you'll probably want to use their mortar that's thankfully easier to mix than the real thing. Whether you want to build your own miniature version of Winterfell Castle, the White House, or the X-Mansion, Mini Materials will let you make them as sturdy as their real-life counterparts.

Feast your eyes on the making of 'Heisei Mary'

This is a time-lapse video of Japanese artist Shohei Otomo drawing Heisei Mary — a naked Sailor Moon-like figure completely covered in tattoos. The highly-detailed body ink features Spiderman, Darth Vader, Hello Kitty, Naruto, Street Fighter and Dragon Ball characters to name a few. It's really satisfying to see an artist's process, the way their illustration grows and grows out of nothing. Shohei is known for his hyper-realistic sketches using ballpoint pens. Born in Tokyo in 1980, he is the son of Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of the manga Akira . He exhibits his work regularly in Japan and Australia as well as in Mexico and France. Three weeks worth of work are sped up into less than four minutes.
