What peacock feathers look like under a microscope

Canadian photographer Waldo Nell wondered how peacock feathers look up close. So, he put one under a microscope, took dozens of photos from various focal points, and stacked and blended them together to create high resolution images. Waldo is a software engineer by day in British Columbia, but he's also an "avid photographer interested in the extraordinary." You can see more of his work on Flickr and on 500px.

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.

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.

Guessing Game

From Jimmy Kimmel's show recently, Quentin Tarantino tries to guess several obscure films from the VHS synopsis alone. I don't know about you, but I find myself enjoying a crazy B movie from time to time.
