Gruesome diabetes ads feature wounds made of confectionery

Imagine sitting down to enjoy a bar of chocolate when all of a sudden you see one of these 'Sweet Kills' posters. They're made by Ogilvy & Mather Bangkok for the Diabetes Association of Thailand, and I think they're quite disgusting.

The campaign features different body parts covered in ghastly wounds to convey the devastating side effects of too much sugar. The twist? The blood and cuts are made out of sweets. Scroll down for more gruesome images.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

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.
