David Gilmour - 'Rattle That Lock'

You have to hand it to David Gilmour. The success of his band, Pink Floyd, and his solo projects bought him the freedom to do whatever he wants. If you listen closely, you can hear SNCF's jingle at the heart of Gilmour's new song, Rattle That Lock. The tune is quite popular in France, and the 69-year-old guitarist decided he wanted to do something with it during a recent trip to Aix.

In addition to his affinity with the French railway systems, the rockstar also pays homage to the great John Milton. Created by Alasdair & Jock from Trunk Animation, the black-and-white video for Rattle That Lock is based on Milton's Paradise Lost. According to Rolling Stone, Gilmour's wife penned the lyrics to the track, drawing significant amounts of inspiration from the epic 17th century poem.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

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.

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.
