The Forest Firefighter

This massive artwork in Sao Paulo has to be one of the most striking murals I've seen in quite a while. The 1,000-square-meter painting by Mundano was created using 200 kilograms of ashes. According to Reuters, the Brazilian street artist travelled thousands of miles across the country to collect ashes from the Amazon fires.

"I'm using evidence of the crime," said Mundano, calling the giant fresco an act of "artivism". "This mural is a protest, a cry for help," he added. "I support fire brigades and also for this fire culture to stop, it's leading us to self-destruction."

Great job, Mr. Mundano. We hope this will call the attention to the crisis before our forests are gone.

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.

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.
