I find this 18th-century game table kind of fascinating

The brainchild of German cabinetmaker David Roentgen, this finely crafted piece of furniture does more than play board games: It has the potential to get you laid. Like to play chess?

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.

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 ]

Believe it or not, this sci-fi short is a student thesis

Wire Cutters is an animated short about about two mining robots on a desolate planet. Created by Jack Anderson, the film has been featured in numerous festivals, was a finalist in the 2015 Student BAFTA Film Awards, and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Student Film at the Nashville Film Festival. The 9-minute flick, which took a year and a half to make, might feel like WALL-E in both its render style and character design, but it has a darker undertone, and the ending is quite unexpected.
