Welcome to Nikolai Lockertsen's dystopian universe


It's not often that I'm moved by digital art, but it's difficult not to be impressed with the work of Norwegian illustrator Nikolai Lockertsen. Perhaps it's the way he creates such speculative post-apocalyptic worlds. They're gritty, explicit, and I'm definitely sucked into the visual narrative.

Nikolai has worked in the film industry since the late 90's. In addition to film-related works, he also does book illustrations and stage designs. He's a pioneer in iPad art, and almost all the images featured in this post were done using Procreate.








You can see more of Nikolai's work at his personal site and ArtStation page.

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.

These skateboards look like something you'd want to hang on your wall than ride

If you're looking for the most artistic skateboards in town, then you just have to head to The Skateroom . They sell decks that feature the work of legendary artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Ai Weiwei. Just recently, the company has teamed up with Vik Muniz to produce these beautiful decks that are true collector's items. They don't come cheap though. Each skateboard will set you back $350.

Bastiaan Buijs' Grandfather Clock might be the most beautiful vibrator ever

This glass dildo is powered by clockwork and delivers sleek and uncomplicated pleasure that takes you to climax in style. Called the Grandfather Clock, the sex toy is "super expensive" and is only available for the "rich and famous" at the moment – although designer Bastiaan Buijs is currently working on a cheaper version. While you may not be able to afford it, you can't deny that this is some serious addition to your collection. [h/t: Dezeen ]
