Tomek Ducki's 'Baths' is a mesmerizing short film about the flipside of reality


I really love Tomek Ducki's animated videos, and when I found out that he has a new short film up on Vimeo, I perked up. His latest, Baths, is an intriguing story about two elderly swimmers who regularly meet to splash around. This time, however, they are diving deeper than expected.

Using watercolor, paint on glass, ink on paper, cut-out animation, digital drawings, photography, and other techniques, the four-minute film "takes us into the murky waters of fantasy. With a cool kind of magic, this delicately stylized film draws us into various layers of reality, as we plunge from silent melancholia into the graphic frenzy of competitive sports, where everything is turned upside down."

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.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
