5,000 year old V-neck shirt confirmed as world's oldest garment

What you see here is the world's oldest-known woven garment still in existence. It's 5,000 years old, and was found by archeologists in an ancient Egyptian tomb in 1913. The Tarkhan Dress, as it has been dubbed, is currently on display at London's Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. Researchers believe that a teenager or a slender woman wore it.

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.
