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.

These grotesque porcelain sculptures might give you nightmares

Art doesn't just have to be colorful flowers, sunsets and unicorns – there is artistry in the grotesque as well. Jason Briggs , a Tennessee-based nightmare creator, makes surreal and fucked-up ceramic sculptures of the human body that exist on the boundary between horror and beauty.

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.

Japanese artist En Iwamura creates adorable ceramic sculptures

Kyoto-born artist En Iwamura is showing his latest ceramic creations in a special show on August 31 at the Ross+Kramer Gallery in East Hampton, New York. En's sculpted objects, which he describes as three-dimensional clay doodling, exudes nothing but good vibes with their quirky, playful style. He consciously uses childhood influences such as manga and anime, and draws inspiration from both American and Japanese historical and pop-cultural references along with his own life experiences. Born in 1988, En completed both his BFA and MFA in craft from Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011 and 2013, respectively. His works have been shown in New York City, Seattle, Kansas City, Durham, NC, Japan, Canada, China and more. Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
