My little boy's sudden obsession with Iron Man

My 2-year-old son, Alonso, wears Iron Man pants, Iron Man footwear and Iron Man shirt by day. By night, he wears Iron Man pajamas. He drinks from an Iron Man cup and eats from an Iron Man plate. It's easy getting him dressed, and he's easy to spot in a crowd.

Alonso wants nothing more than a rowdy good guy/bad guy brawl that ends with a huge pile of action figures on the floor. While I'm still not thrilled about the damage that's being done to our furniture—and on the days that he decides I'm a bad guy, to my body—as long as he doesn't trip over his own feet and fall down, we will all enjoy seeing a miniature Tony Stark running around the house. Anyway, here's some music.

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. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!

This app turns freehand sketches into realistic photos

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly changing the nature of creative processes. Computer algorithms have generated numerous paintings, poetry, music, and even movie scripts. While some people could not keep their hands off these innovations, the question whether AI-created art can really be deemed as art still lingers around. If you want to create photorealistic portraits but you're struggling to see improvement in your depictions, AI seems to have an answer to your problem. As stated on its project page, the DeepFaceDrawing app "allows users with little training in drawing to produce high-quality images from rough or even incomplete freehand sketches." Check out the demo video below: Impressive. But I still believe that while machines can produce stunning visuals, it doesn't mean they will replace artists.
