White Walkers offer free ice cream in Paris

The sixth season of Game of Thrones begins next month, and if you're anything like me, you're probably counting the days between now and April 24, wondering what will become of our favorite characters. But before we hop into another season of sex, betrayal, and epic battle, wouldn't it be nice to get reacquainted with the people of Westeros and what happened with them in season five?

In France, the complete fifth season of GoT has been released on DVD. As part of a promotion for the launch, an ice cream truck, accompanied by a group of White Walkers, invaded the streets of Paris on Saturday (March 19) and offered some tasty treats to the pedestrians. They were invited to take pictures alongside the otherworldly creatures, and post them on social media with the hashtags #IceTruck and #GOTS5 to get free ice cream.

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.

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.

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.
