Welcome back, Lenny—you've been missed.

Lenny Kravitz just turned 56 . He's been making music for 30 years now, and I'm going to come right out and say he's of the most underrated singer-songwriters of all time. It's always a shame when an artist becomes defined by one or two songs. There's no doubt that Are You Gonna Go My Way or It Ain't Over 'til It's Over are great tracks, but the true tragedy lies in the fact that not many people know he actually has other good songs too.

My favorite, which I've been listening to since Wednesday is a song called I Belong to You, which is guaranteed to get you in trouble if you ended up dancing to it with somebody else's girlfriend. By the way, here is Lenny's new music video, which was shot in Paris, because French people love him.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

Artist transforms Spider-Man, Ant-Man into terrifying monsters

We all have seen lots of different illustrations of Spider-Man, but I'm sure you've never seen anything similar to what Nikolay Tsys created. The Russian digital artist from Moscow went beyond the usual representation of the Spidey we often see in comic books and movies, and portrayed the friendly neighborhood superhero as a horrific human-animal hybrid that seems to be taken from someone's most terrifying nightmare. Aside from Nikolay's Spider-Man, I also like his depiction of Ant-Man and Emperor Palpatine. Take a look at some of his highly detailed illustrations below: [h/t: Bloody Disgusting ]
