This is one of the biggest drawings I've ever seen

Oscar Oiwa's recent piece is a 360 degree drawing set inside a 40-foot inflatable vinyl dome. Drawn in black permanent marker, Oiwa Island 2 depicts the picturesque Setouchi landscape. It's really huge, and onlookers become part of the trippy monochromatic graphics once they enter the circular space.

Oscar is a Brazilian-born Japanese artist who splits his time between New York, Tokyo and Sao Paulo. He has had numerous exhibits around the globe and his works are in multiple collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, the Phoenix Museum of Art, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and many more.

Where Bad Space and Good Music Collided

My first apartment was in Malate, and calling it “small” would be generous. I lived there with two girls and one guy, and to this day, I genuinely don’t know how we all fit. It felt like a magic trick. Or a health hazard. We were a musical mess. One roommate lived and breathed ’70s classics. Another was permanently blasting Korn and Slipknot. One survived solely on cheesy love songs. And me? I was floating somewhere between new wave and folk rock, pretending that made sense. Somehow, despite the noise and the chaos, we all lived together in this weird, mismatched harmony. No murders. No lawsuits. A win, honestly. My music taste now is nothing like it was in my twenties. Not even close. But I’ll always be grateful to Jacqueline for introducing me to this song in particular. It was playing when I woke up from a very memorable sleep in 2002. I was 21, half-awake, probably confused about life, and that song stuck. It still hasn’t let go.

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.
