These pencil drawings are often mistaken for photographs because they're so realistic


No, they're not black and white photos. These are highly detailed pencil drawings by Scottish artist John Fisher. Seriously.

You know what? John's illustrations are so good that people think he's using an app. About four months ago, he was visited by Trading Standards reps to interrogate him about the authenticity of his work. John invited the officers inside his studio, showed them his half-finished compositions, and even rubbed some bits out to convince those folks that he used real pencils to create them. It didn't take long for the inspectors to believe the artist as the evidence was there.

John sells his photo-realistic drawings worldwide and has thousand of followers on Facebook and Instagram. Keep going for a whole bunch more.

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 ]
