This artist turns bamboo into delicately crafted insect sculptures

I really like the work of Japanese artist Noriyuki Saitoh, who uses bamboo to create beautiful sculptures of insects. Each piece is handmade and features an incredible amount of detail, resulting in realistic depictions that look as though they could come to life, crawl and fly away.

Someone who can master patience can master almost everything else. Scroll down to see some of Noriyuki's bug sculptures and find more of his work on his website.

Truly mesmerizing.

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.

Listen to Reggie Pearl’s “Moldavite”

Reggie Pearl deserves more recognition. I really like her music and I struggled to pick a song to recommend if you somehow only have the time to listen to one. But “Moldavite” blew me away the first time I heard it, and I hope you will love it too.

Random poem for this sunny Friday

This by Wendell Berry, whom I know nothing about. Beautiful. I can relate to it somehow. And of course I love the visuals by Charlotte Ager and Katy Wang.
