Christine Bay paints beautiful pieces on MetroCards


There's something captivating about miniature works of art. Joseph Martinez paints tiny portraits inside matchbooks. Turkish artist Mesut Kul uses micro canvases, including pumpkin seeds, rice grains and beans. Now, let me introduce you to the world of Christine R. Bay, a self-taught artist, illustrator and designer from Singapore who paints enchanting oil portraits on MetroCards.

I recently discovered Christine's work on Ello and now I'm infatuated with it. When she's not painting, you'll find her sketching on her iPad, crocheting or participating in some doodling gigs. She also hangs out at her studio, thinking of what she wants to sew next.



"Her painting topics usually revolve around current social and environmental issues and she mostly conveys her thoughts and ideas via portraits with surreal elements involving nature. Being a maker, she sometimes incorporates various crafting skills into her pieces."

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 ]
