Here's a pencil that you can plant to grow tomatoes, basil and peppers


Sprout is a line of eco-friendly pencils that can be planted after use. When the mixture of graphite and clay runs out or if the pencil becomes too short to write with, just place it in soil (preferably near natural sunlight) and water it regularly. After a few weeks, a dissolvable seed capsule at the end of the pencil will germinate, transforming it into one of twelve herbs and vegetables such as basil, mint, cherry tomatoes, green pepper or sweet pea.

Presented at the Gagosian Gallery, Paris , the sculpture is composed of a double portrait of the Hollywood actor. One portrays him talking to his dad, who is standing separately, and the other—which is linked to the first like a conjoined twin—portrays him hugging his mom, both of them smiling. The Swiss artist began to create candle sculptures in the early 2000s. Last year, he made a larger-than-life-size wax figure depicting Russian art collector and founder of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, Dasha Zhukova. As with all of Fischer's candle sculptures, Leo (George & Irmelin) will melt slowly over the course of the exhibition, a poetic and visual reminder of the mortality we all mus...

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
