KFC introduces plant-based fried chicken

When it's warm and sunny, my daughter wants fried chicken. When it's cold and rainy, she wants fried chicken. But would she ever try one of these?

In a partnership with Beyond Meat, KFC is launching a plant-based, chicken substitute (available in nuggets or boneless wings) at one of its Atlanta stores starting Tuesday. Customers will get a free sample of the faux meat when they buy something that day, and the restaurant will ask for their feedback. Depending on customer response, the fast food giant will decide how to move forward with the product for "a broader test or potential national rollout".

Beyond Meat has teamed up with several fast food chains, including Carls Jr. and Subway, to provide plant-based meat options. Rival company Impossible Foods has options at Burger King, Little Caesars, and Red Robin, among others.
It looks like chicken, it smells like chicken, it tastes like chicken and it cooks like chicken, but hardcore real meat lovers may find KFC's new product a bit off-putting.

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.

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:

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.
