A look inside Freya Jobbins' plastic sculptures

Freya Jobbins is an award-winning contemporary artist and environmentalist who specializes in making dismembered toys into artistic treasures. Her up-cycled plastic sculptures have been exhibited and held in collections across Australia and in other countries such as the USA, Germany, Norway, England, and Israel.

Freya, who is currently based in Sydney, draws inspiration from the works of Guiseppe Archimboldo and other artists such as Ron Mueck, Kathe Kollwitz and Frida Kahlo to create amusing, yet unsettling pieces.

She explains:

"My work is based on appropriation, re-assemblage and subversion of pre-existent objects, where I continue to explore notions of identity, motifs and my own dissimulation. With a focus on technical craftsmanship through intricate dissection and reconstruction of the humanoid face using recognizable toys in my assemblages."

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.

French supermarket promotes 'ugly' fruits and vegetables to reduce food waste

When was the last time you bought a weird-shaped fruit or veggie? A disfigured eggplant, a gnarled carrot, a hideous orange, or a deformed apple? You probably have a hard time remembering because growers usually throw out any misshapen produce, since grocery stores only want flawless (or almost flawless) crops. If there are lumps, bruises, or other deformities, retailers are likely to reject them. To raise awareness against food waste, Marcel Paris introduced a brilliant ad campaign called the Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables . The agency created these posters for Intermarche, France's third largest supermarket chain, to inform people that though these foods might by ugly, they are as good as any others.
