Iconic painters as product endorsers

Ad agency Leo Burnett Switzerland created these clever posters for Samsung to promote its NX Mini camera. We can see Albrecht Dürer, Frida Kahlo, and Vincent Van Gogh taking pictures of themselves, with the tagline For Self-Portraits. Not Selfies. Van Gogh's work can be seen in the background. Kahlo's plants are featured in her poster, and Dürer's prints are on a table near his window ledge.

For those not familiar with the NX Mini, the device is one of the smallest mirrorless cameras on the market today, and one of the more affordable. Despite its size, the camera boasts a large, 3-inch tilting touchscreen TFT LCD display with a 320x480 HVGA resolution. It has a 20.5 megapixel 1-inch type BSI CMOS sensor and is capable of 6 frames per second continuous shooting. Of course it features both Wi-Fi and NFC technology for easy pairing and sharing with smartphones and tablets.

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.

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.

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.
