Come Play My Game by Butcher Billy
The Good Butcher is back with another serving of mismashed delectables, designed to please the appetite and confound the senses. Asking the ages old question: “will it blend?”, Billy combines random films, famous celebrities, iconic music albums, and any other prime cut of pop culture that’s easy to slice into one big lumbering sewn-together Frankenstein GIF. You can find prints, cards, and clothes of these designs over at Billy’s Redbubble.

Globus by Sashie Masakatsu
I dont want to alarm you, but if I had the ability to roll up everything in the world all Katamari-style, I’d totally do it. Just a word of warning. Luckily for you and the rest of humanity, I can live vicariously through the paintings of Sashie Masakatsu, which depict small planets of compacted urban space floating by their own gravity amidst the ruins of the earth (not my fault, though).

Lightscapes by Troy Hyde
When the sun sets in the city, it’s time for the real light show to begin. Troy’s brilliant, flickering city portraits are not shot from space however, they’re made by recreating the setup of several well known cities through pin pricks in a light box, illuminating them from behind. You can click on each picture to which city it represents, but you’re a seasoned traveler, how many can you guess without looking?
Famous Eyeglasses by Federico Mauro
You can tell a lot about a person by their choice of headgear, but in some cases you don’t even need the rest of their face to recognize them. Federico collects some of the iconic glasses from the film and meat worlds, leaving your mind to gestalt in the rest.

One Million Bones DC
Led by artist Naomi Natale as part of the One Million Bones Project, this mass grave assembled at the National Mall in Washington, DC is composed of bones made of paper and plaster, but symbolizes the very real number of people killed in places like Sudan, Germany, and the former Yugoslavi. Each bone created by students and volunteers was matched with $1 sent to CARE, which helps send aid to Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Personified Architectural Vehicles by Calvin Ma
In creating these mobile forms in his series “Homebodies”, Calvin Ma wanted to express his love for action figures and their ability to captivate and innovate stories to comfort us. His ceramic and stoneware sculptures combine stationary architectural structures and roving vehicles with the human (and kitty) form in a mashup of irregularity and contradictions, but still retaining that facial hint of childlike inquisitiveness, ready to make up an entirely new adventure.
Unlikely Opponents by Danilo Agutoli
It’s a multiversal free-for-all with this series of mismatched yet intertwining opponents by Danilo, finally visualizing that ages-old fanboy dispute of who would win in a fight between Superman and the Pope?
Wetless Raindrops by Luzinterruptus
To commemorate a local public square and formerly a neighborhood swimming pool, the team of Luzinterruptus filled 800 condoms (all extra large and extra strength, in case you were wondering, and I know you were) with blue-dyed water and tiny lights to simulate soft, squeezable, and sinuous raindrops. The exhibit attracted lots of attention and ended predictably when local children decided the raindrops were best used as water balloons because for real, condoms or not, you’d totally do the same.
Lost Underwater Egyptian City
“Franck Goddio and his team from IEASM with the help of the Egypstian Supreme Council of Antiquities, have unearthed an incredible find, the Lost Egyptian City of Thonis-Heracleion. Located in around 15 kilometres area of the western part of Akoudir Bay, Franck has found important ancient landmarks of Thonis-Heracleion, such as the grand temple of Amun and his son Khonsou and the harbours once controlling the daily trade, all buried under 30 feet of the surface of the Mediterranean Sea.
Known as Heracleion to the ancient Greeks and Thonis to the ancient Egyptians, it is a city swallowed by the Mediterranean Sea and buried in sand and mud for more than 1,200 years.”

Wire Violin by Emily Fang
I mistakenly thought this was one of those single-line drawings originally, but then I realized there was an extra dimension added. 3D, how does it work? I’ve never understood it myself, it’s probably some form of black magic. In this particular case, Emily relied on the ancient arts of wire sculpting to create the spatial outline of a violin.
