These new LEGO sets allow you to channel your inner artist

This portrait of Marilyn Monroe is made up of over 3,000 tiny LEGO pieces and is part of a new line of building kits geared towards adults. It sells for $120 (about PHP 6,000) and is due to debut in stores outside the U.S. next month.

Aside from Andy Warhol's Marilyn, other LEGO Art sets revealed include Iron Man, The Beatles, and iconic villains from Star Wars. One cool thing about these kits is that each comes with its own unique soundtrack for you to listen to while you're putting your wall worthy mosaic poster together. You can read more about them by visiting LEGO.com.

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.

Spray Paint Reflection

Through my random searches I came across the work of Taiwanese artist BlackZao, who blends graffiti and calligraphy with Eastern religious art. There are a lot of things that make his paintings exceptional but I really like the vibrant hues, lettering, and intricate illustrations. Aside from spray painting on walls and canvases, he also creates digital art, makes beautiful collages, and goes old school with acrylics and brushes. Check out his Facebook page for more.

In Eleanor We Trust

Eleanor Swordy clearly stands out from the pack. She has a unique ability to create visually stunning artworks while maintaining her favorite theme and color palette. There's also a dream like quality to each of her paintings, which encourage deep viewing. Whether it's the way her colors are blended or how the cartoonish characters interact with each another, Eleanor is exploding with imaginative energy on how to execute it.
