Clever doodles built upon simple objects

Kristián Mensa, aka mr. kriss, is an artist, dancer, pianist, and actor from Prague, Czech Republic. A few times a week, the teenager (yes, he's only 17) shares a new doodle with his almost 27,000 Instagram followers. Each drawing incorporates everyday, often uninteresting objects like matchsticks, forks, combs and noodles. The illustrations transform these simple items into something completely new and different.

Kristián started drawing as a child. In first grade, he joined an after-school art class that really helped him with the art basics. Throughout the years, he was trying to develop his own style, and just recently, fell in love with the idea of working with ordinary objects. He looks around to find something to combine with his doodles, arranges them in certain ways, sketching around them and turning them into unique pieces of art which make people smile.

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.

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.

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:
