Cara Delevingne is the subject of Jonathan Yeo's paintings

If you're currently in Denmark and you're a fan of both art and Cara Delevingne, be sure to check out Jonathan Yeo's solo exhibition featuring portraits of the model-turned-actress. The paintings look half-finished, but trust me, they're meant to look like this.

On the exhibit description, it says: "The range of poses, props and guises in these paintings comment on the way in which people use various means to reveal or conceal aspects of their identity. Cara's character and profession, in her ability to continually transform, enable the visual rhetoric in these works to act as metaphors for the way in which everyone is constantly constructing the way they appear and are understood by the outside world."

According to Dazed, the Paper Towns star posed for the British artist six times over the last 15 months to help create the 12 portraits, nine of which will be on display alongside some of his greatest works of the past 25 years.

The show, titled Jonathan Yeo Portraits, is at The Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, and runs until June 30.

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.

Here's a trippy reimagining of the zodiac animals.

These are the animals from the zodiac calendar as created by Japanese artist feebee . I can't even begin to imagine how long painting these hybrid creatures on wood panel must take, but the results are pretty amazing. Some of them look terrifying, some aren't scary at all, and one looks like the Pokemon Meowth. They're all eye-catching, but none of them mean as much to me as the one representing my own sign, the Sheep (also known as the Goat or Ram). The twelve animal signs represent twelve different types of personalities. It is said that people born in the Year of the Sheep can be very indecisive and lazy. Hmmm, I guess Chinese zodiac is pretty much legit.
