Welcome to Molly Mendoza's universe

There's something peculiarly pleasing about Molly Mendoza's art. Her sketchbook is such a wild ride, and I'm fascinated by how she's created meaning and depth with extreme limitation of color. Aside from her sketches, I also love the amazing stuff she's been posting recently on her tumblr and Instagram.

Molly grew up in Romeoville, Illinois and was captivated by the diversity of people and encounters that she has experienced in her twelve years of living there. Now, she uses those recollections to create things with her own unique and personal touch. Although she's quite young, the Portland-based artist has already produced an endless amount of hand-drawn and digital illustrations.

A recipient of a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Molly has exhibited her work in various galleries. She has also been commissioned to create pieces for clients including Adobe, Nautilus, The New York Times, The Scientist, and Uncovered Classics.

Thanks, Guy McKinley for the tip.

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 ]

Experiencing Flight Through an Eagle's Eyes

Have you ever looked up and wondered, "What does it feel like to soar majestically like an eagle?" This video offers a captivating glimpse. Expert bird handler Lloyd Buck attached a small 360-degree camera and a GPS tracker directly to the back of one of these magnificent predatory birds. The entire setup creates a stunning, first-person virtual reality experience—only this one is real and features a creature with an impressively large wingspan. However, this isn't just for cool footage. The real mission is to capture valuable scientific data: examining how quickly an eagle can gain altitude and precisely how its incredible wings are adapted to achieve such breathtaking, effortless lift.

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.
