Roamcouch in Fukushima


Ryo Ogawa, better known as Roamcouch, recently finished this beautiful art piece in Fukushima. The 43-year-old Japanese street artist spent four days working on the mural and was joined by local kids in spray painting the stars on the side of the windmill.

Influenced by manga, Roamcouch is known for his impressive works that can require up to fifty different layers of stencils. Incredibly, each stencil is both hand-drawn and hand-cut by the Gifu native himself. Roamcouch spray-paints on top of each stencil until he gets his desired results. His work has been featured at solo and group exhibitions in Japan, Norway, London, Malaysia, Germany, France, and in the US. In 2014, he opened his first solo show, titled A Beautiful Life, in New York and achieved an amazing feat of selling out the entire collection.





Roamcouch has a Facebook page that updates quite often and a website where you can find all his work.

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.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.

Acorn-shaped meditation pod

Created by LFZ Studio , this giant acorn in France is a cool space to escape the digital deluge. For some, the wooden pod is a temporary escape from reality. For others, it’s a nice place to take a nap. And for a select few, it’s a nerve-wracking dive into claustrophobia. The pod blends perfectly with the forest and the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds create a natural soundtrack for meditation. In this sanctuary, time seems to slow down, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature. |h/t: Design Boom |
