Iggy Pop posed nude for art class

Here's a photo of Iggy Pop posing naked for a life drawing class at the New York Academy of Art. Twenty-one artists, from all walks of life, took part in the project, with the resulting portraits of the punk rock icon set to debut at the Brooklyn Museum this fall. Stripping off and baring all is for many not exactly a comfortable experience. But this is Iggy, and after years of exhibitionism, his junk has finally been recognized as a work of art.

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.

'Force Awakens' trailer remade with a super low budget

These days, sci-fi flicks are more expensive than ever. That got Bryan Harley and his pals from Dumb Drum thinking. After watching the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens , the California-based YouTubers decided to recreate the clip with as little money as possible. It's low budget, but awesome nonetheless. In your face, J.J. Abrams!

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
