Helene Meldahl combines mirror selfies with her love of art


A few days ago my good friend Kim alerted me to this adorable artist on Instagram. I must've been living under a rock because I wasn't aware of her work. Well, better late than never.

Most girls are addicted to taking selfies, and Helene Meldahl is no exception. However, the 27-year-old Norwegian artist has taken the game to a whole new level. Her self-portraits are fresh, quirky, creative and they remind us all to have a little fun.

For more than two years, Helene (aka @mirrorsme) has been filling her IG account with unique mirror doodles. Using chalk, markers, and a little imagination, she creates delightful environments before snapping away. Initially drawing on mirrors with her lipstick to leave cute messages for her roommate, the drawings evolved from small to elaborate illustrations. Check out some of her clever selfies below.

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.

'Star Wars' cutaway illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!  [h/t: Galactic Academy ]

Unsettling wooden sculptures by Tung Ming-Chin

Tung Ming-Chin is one of my favorite new finds. The Taiwanese artist from Changhua crafts sculptures of human figures that appear to be trapped in wood, crying for help, and trying relentlessly to come out. There's something distinctly unsettling about his work. But, like a good horror movie, you won't turn away. Thanks to Billie, who agrees sculptors are fascinating creatures.
