Handmade glitch carpets by Faig Ahmed

Digital errors can sometimes create oddly beautiful effects in photos. But these are not glitched images, these are actual carpets created by Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed. His handmade rugs appear to have been pixelated, stretched, melted, or otherwise distorted.

In order to create these illusions, Ahmed takes traditional Azerbaijani rugs, un-weaves them, and re-articulates the original designs. "Initially, they called me a crazy man and wouldn't accept my idea," he tells Danna Lorch of ArtSlant. "They thought I was being disrespectful of our customs. Then I explained that centuries ago people created what we now think of as our classic carpet designs through the same kind of innovations."

Check out some of my favorite pieces below or head over to Ahmed's website for the full selection.

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.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
