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.

These grotesque porcelain sculptures might give you nightmares

Art doesn't just have to be colorful flowers, sunsets and unicorns – there is artistry in the grotesque as well. Jason Briggs , a Tennessee-based nightmare creator, makes surreal and fucked-up ceramic sculptures of the human body that exist on the boundary between horror and beauty.

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.

Japanese artist En Iwamura creates adorable ceramic sculptures

Kyoto-born artist En Iwamura is showing his latest ceramic creations in a special show on August 31 at the Ross+Kramer Gallery in East Hampton, New York. En's sculpted objects, which he describes as three-dimensional clay doodling, exudes nothing but good vibes with their quirky, playful style. He consciously uses childhood influences such as manga and anime, and draws inspiration from both American and Japanese historical and pop-cultural references along with his own life experiences. Born in 1988, En completed both his BFA and MFA in craft from Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011 and 2013, respectively. His works have been shown in New York City, Seattle, Kansas City, Durham, NC, Japan, Canada, China and more. Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
