Before the internet, when audio cassettes, VCRs, and floppy disks were the most easily shared technologies, the things that went viral were sexy, bizarre, or just plain f*cked up. When I was 10, I dubbed four copies of 10 to Midnight on VHS and gave them to my friends. Piracy was as simple as hooking two VCRs together with a cable. It was fun. That movie wasn't. 10 to Midnight, starring Charles Bronson, is one of the weirdest slasher flicks from my childhood. You all know Charles, who somehow managed to become a top box office attraction in the seventies and eighties for his badassness. Here's two minutes of him trying to take the law into his own hands.
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.
These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!

Tung Ming-Chin is one of my favorite new finds. The Taiwanese artist from Changhua crafts sculptures of human figures that appear to be trapped in wood, crying for help, and trying relentlessly to come out. There's something distinctly unsettling about his work. But, like a good horror movie, you won't turn away. Thanks to Billie, who agrees sculptors are fascinating creatures.
