McDonald's Japan unveils Giga Big Mac

Why do Japanese people always get the good stuff first? McDonald's Japan has launched a new super-sized version of its Big Mac that contains nearly three times as much meat as the original. Called the Giga Big Mac, the monster sandwich has four beef patties, with a bun in the middle separating each pair. It's so big that the fast food giant says you'll feel "a satisfied sense of accomplishment" for eating the whole thing.

Like the regular Big Mac, the Giga also consists of lettuce, onion, pickles, cheese, and mayo. There's no word yet on when or if the burger will be made available elsewhere, but it will go on sale for a limited-time in the Land of the Rising Sun, beginning April 6.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

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.

Stencils and Subtlety

If there were a Michelin star for public murals, Roamcouch would have it. No debate. His art is an elegant contradiction; it stops you in mid-stride and makes you stare. You argue with what you see. He works with scenes from everyday life, nothing fancy, then drops them into backgrounds full of playfulness and surprise. His murals feel like small rebellions, and they insist on being noticed. Here are some of his recent street art works. Roamcouch has a Facebook page and a website where you can find all his work.
