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.

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:

Organ donor signature campaign by Y&R New York

In general, people don't like seeing ads, but sometimes, when companies and ad firms go out of their way to come up with creative, inspirational and clever ways to heighten awareness for their campaigns, ads can be pretty amazing. Take, for example, these posters Y&R developed for Long Live New York . They're simple, yet brilliant, and they appeal to their target audience's emotions. They're now in NYC subways to educate commuters about the noble act of organ donation. [h/t: The Inspiration Room ]
