'Airhead' by SHOK-1


If you were combining spray paints with X-rays, you'd likely get this kind of art. British artist SHOK-1 painted this mural in Hackney as part of the inaugural London Mural Festival. It features a cool blend of art and science and I think SHOK-1 did an amazing job rescuing that bare, boring wall.

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.
