McDonald's Japan unveils Giga Big Mac


Why do Japanese people always get the good stuff first? McDonald's Japan has launched a new super-sized version of its Big Mac that contains nearly three times as much meat as the original. Called the Giga Big Mac, the monster sandwich has four beef patties, with a bun in the middle separating each pair. It's so big that the fast food giant says you'll feel "a satisfied sense of accomplishment" for eating the whole thing. 

Like the regular Big Mac, the Giga also consists of lettuce, onion, pickles, cheese, and mayo. There's no word yet on when or if the burger will be made available elsewhere, but it will go on sale for a limited-time in the Land of the Rising Sun, beginning April 6.

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.
