Feast your eyes on the making of 'Heisei Mary'

This is a time-lapse video of Japanese artist Shohei Otomo drawing Heisei Mary — a naked Sailor Moon-like figure completely covered in tattoos. The highly-detailed body ink features Spiderman, Darth Vader, Hello Kitty, Naruto, Street Fighter and Dragon Ball characters to name a few. It's really satisfying to see an artist's process, the way their illustration grows and grows out of nothing.

Shohei is known for his hyper-realistic sketches using ballpoint pens. Born in Tokyo in 1980, he is the son of Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of the manga Akira. He exhibits his work regularly in Japan and Australia as well as in Mexico and France.

Three weeks worth of work are sped up into less than four minutes.

Organ donor signature campaign by Y&R New York

In general, people don't like seeing ads, but sometimes, when companies and ad firms go out of their way to come up with creative, inspirational and clever ways to heighten awareness for their campaigns, ads can be pretty amazing. Take, for example, these posters Y&R developed for Long Live New York . They're simple, yet brilliant, and they appeal to their target audience's emotions. They're now in NYC subways to educate commuters about the noble act of organ donation. [h/t: The Inspiration Room ]

Distorted ceramic sculptures by Jennie Jieun Lee

Sometimes when I stare long enough at a beautiful sculpture, I start to imagine it melting. Jennie Jieun Lee is one step ahead, she has already done it for me. The Korean-American artist creates some seriously fascinating ceramic pieces covered in abstract paintings. I won't pretend for a minute to understand everything about her art, but these distorted slip cast busts are a treat to look at. After getting her diploma at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, Jennie worked in the fashion industry for a long time before rediscovering her love of clay. Her work has been exhibited in the U.S. and abroad at galleries such as Cooper Cole, Toronto; Galerie Lefebvre et Fils, Paris; Jacob Bjorn Gallery, Arhus and Anonymous Gallery, New York. You can see more of her work on Instagram .
