Being John Malkovich has never been this bizarre before


At first glance, the vibrant fiery-red image above looks like Andy Warhol's 1986 self portrait. Then you realize that the man in the photograph is obviously not the American artist, but John Malkovich. The photo is part of a brilliant series by Sandro Miller titled Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, which is currently on display at the Mac-Gryder Gallery in New Orleans.

The series features 62 recreations of the most iconic shots in modern history, all starring John as the subject. The Hollywood legend, who is close friends with the photographer, does an exceptional job of imitating the portraits, regardless of the varying genders, expressions, and skin colors. He morphs into Salvador Dalí, Albert Einstein, John Lennon and Mick Jagger.

The pictures were recreated with remarkable detail—same lighting, angle and even the overall feel of the original. Some are hilarious, but all of them are splendid. Here are some of my favorites:








The exhibition is up through January 1, 2020. More information available here.

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.

'Star Wars' cutaway illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon.

A Delicate Touch

Hana Rubi is an artist from Manchester, England who creates objects that are visually compelling and a little bizarre—in the best way.
