Allan Rubin's Tin Can Wonders

Rita Angus

Because somebody had to do something with all those unwanted tin cans, Allan Rubin decided to put them into good use creating three-dimensional self-portraits of famous and lesser known artists that he admires.

He bends and hammers the cans, then screws the pieces together. After that, he primes and paints the sculptures in oil. If you check out Rubin's Facebook page you will find a bunch of amazing works of art. I want that Katsushika Ōi on my desk now!

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.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.
