Pebble Portraits by Justin Bateman

You may recognize these pieces as some of the world's most famous works of art. But take a closer look: these renderings have been completely remade with pebbles and found stones by British artist Justin Bateman.

These reinterpretations include such classic artworks as da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and many more. They may not as look as good as the original, but they're definitely more rugged.

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.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
