These portraits by self-taught Italian artist Alberto Seveso are so original! He presents us with representations of human faces that are scattered across the canvas in broken swirls of color. Seveso is well-known for his many amazing ink-in-water photographs and these are no exception. The base of each image is formed from the process of ink slowly mixing and interacting underwater. In the fragmented ink blobs, Seveso identifies features that become the foundation for his portraits. He then uses his master skills with computer software to merge two photographs together into one unique portrait.

Redditor unpajarito submitted the image, above, being referred to as Dragon Cat. The fiery breath of the feline grabbed our attention so quickly that we had to look further into the work of artist Miguel P, aka PSHoudini. The Brazil-based artist uses his skilled hand in digital photo manipulation to produce images that merge two worlds, making for one incredibly surreal shot.

Poor Charlie Brown! He is such a lovable character with a big heart, but he can just never do anything right! For nearly 50 years, cartoonist Charles Schwartz created this little guy, along with many other members of the gang including Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, Sally, Pigpen, and Peppermint Patty. Today, artist Tony Medeiros uses this insecure main character and friends as the foundation for a little bit of outrageous humor on his blog called Paperback Charlie Brown.

If you love sweets then you will definitely like seeing this recreation of the London skyline. Created by Chris Naylor, the piece is composed of 2,186 sugar cubes and weighs almost 30 pounds. It was developed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Museum of London Docklands. Actually 210 years old, the Museum of London Docklands building was one of several built by London sugar merchants. It is one of just two that survived a slew of massive fires in 1940. The building was recently restored and established as a museum just 10 years ago.

These playful sculptures are a visual reminder to keep a healthy diet. Each image features the ingredients for a delicious meal, with all of the parts organized into precariously balanced structures. Italian stylist Elena Mora collaborated with photographer Karsten Wegenerto to produce this series, entitled Ricettario: A Balanced Diet. The two artists have created a wonderfully fresh and modern series of still life images that will have viewers seeing their food in a whole new light. Included in the series are salmon, minestrone, margherita pizza, and apple cake. Each attractive and quite unexpected food presentation is set against a solid colored, complimentary background. The clean lines and harmonious arrangements will have you wondering how things don't topple over.

No, that isn't a young woman with a full-grown white beard, nor is the image Photoshopped. In fact, that's a cat looking up, right in front of a person's face. This great and hilarious photo illusion, created in-camera, is what's known as a Cat Beard. Cats have been getting all the attention on the internet and now their humans are getting in on the action (with their help, of course).

I would NOT want to be in the way of these Bengal white tigers when they are hungry! Australia-based photographer Birte Person wasn't quite as afraid. With the safety of distance, she was brave enough to capture these stunning shots of the rare animals during feeding time at the Singapore Zoo. The almost extinct white tiger is caused by a rare genetic recessive gene within the Bengal tiger species. The gene produces features including white fur, black stripes, and a pink nose. The few white tigers that still survive are in protective captivity although there have been reports of a handful spotted in the wild.

33 year old Laura Fernee claims that her remarkable beauty is the reason that she doesn’t work as she was harassed by men and shunned by women in her short career. After quitting her job two years ago, she is now supported by her elderly, wealthy parents who pay $3000 (£2,000) per month for rent and utilities as well as an additional $2300 (£1,500) for designer clothes. They apparently also foot the bill for regular gym workouts and beauty treatments! According to Laura, when others see beauty as a blessing, she sees it only as a curse.

“Beardvertising” is a brilliant idea thought up by Lexington, Kentucky-based advertising agency Cornett-IMS allowing men with fuzzy beards to earn money by placing miniature billboard-like ads in them. A&W and Eagle One are both on board to support this genius ad concept. Whit Hiler of Cornett-IMS told Business Insider, “We’re getting a ton of emails from guys with epic beards that want to host beardboards and we’re actually in talks with some brands that want to be Beardvertisers. I think we’ll probably be seeing some beardboards in the wild before too long.”

Since last December photographer Nolan Conway has been traveling the U.S. taking fascinating portraits of McDonald’s customers for his series “Happy Meals.” So far Conway has visited about 150 restaurants in 22 states. He focuses on rural parts of the country because he finds the customers there to be more varied and interesting.

Ohio Born, Scott Scheidly who started his path towards becoming an artist at the age of 4, ate a lot of paint paste throughout his childhood apparently, and graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh is quite peculiar and seems to have a great sense of humor. His paintings don't seem to be overly complicated with depth, however there's something vibrant, funny but tragic, and definitely original about his work. I liked this statement he made on his website, "I still live in Florida where I enjoy floundering about and painting pretty pictures, and I still eat paste now and again just to remind myself of my roots and how I ended up like this. Some day I hope not to be famous." Check out his awesome paintings.

Last time we checked in on Tan Mom Patricia Krentcil, she had released a rap song, ‘It’s Tan Mom,’ to which the ‘Chelsea Lately’ staff couldn’t help but bust a move. Now the full song is out, and it’s worse than you thought. In the 3-minute video, Krentcil dances around in a leopard print dress (the flames of hell flickering behind her) and, unfortunately, a bikini and wig, slurring lyrics like: “Where do you want / I’ll give you a treat / To see my goodies brown / I wanna get get get get my tan on.” In between autotuned choruses about being outside birdwatching in lieu of in a tanning booth, she claims she’s “sexier than the teen mom” (presumably Farrah Abraham) and “hotter than the Octomom.” At one point she’s also in a bedroom being groped with multiple crosses affixed to the wall behind her, and towards the end of the video, an unidentified male pops up behind a podium and says, “Don’t judge me, don’t make a deal. Don’t make a deal because I am saying it to you. I’m saying it to you. Let it be the way it is.” We have no idea who he is or what he’s talking about, but he is in Tan Mom’s music video. (Sorry, dude. Consider yourself judged.) Thankfully, some merciful soul took pity on the masses and decided not to release this thing in high definition — a move worthy of a ticker tape parade.

Sublime songstress Mary J. Blige has been hit with yet another tax lien — this one totaling $3.4 million for unpaid taxes in Bergen County, N.J. Sounds like even 2013 won’t offer her a break. According to sleuths, she owes the “IRS $574.907 from 2009, $2.2 million from 2010 and $647,604 from 2011.” This on top of her charity being sued and separate liens for just over $900K in back taxes she supposedly owes the state of New Jersey. Blige was also sued by Bank of America for not paying back a $500,000 loan or the interest. What’s more, she and her husband are the defendants in another lawsuit for defaulting on a $2.2 million loan back in November of 2012. Given this mess, one of two things must be true: Either Mary J. drowned kittens in orphans tears in a past life, or she simply doesn’t know how money works.

After news of a fresh split between ‘Twilight’ stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson broke over the weekend, the world was on high Robsten alert — and today (May 20) he was spotted moving a bunch of his belongings and his two dogs out of K-Stew’s L.A. home. Pattinson was seen driving off with a suitcase, a bike, and two garbage bags full of items in the back of his truck, while his pooches Bear and Bernie rode along next to him in the cab. The duo are currently spending time apart in their separate homes after raising suspicion when Stewart and Pattinson spent his 27th birthday apart — Rob by having a private party that his not-yet-ex didn’t attend (or wasn’t allowed to, depending on which source you read), and Kristen by moping around with her friends. Insiders close to the couple say they wouldn’t be surprised if they got back together eventually (which, oddly, looks an awful lot like the pair when they’re not together at all). But time will tell.

Justin Bieber was about to have a moment at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards last night (May 19) when he accepted the impressive Milestone Award at the tender age of 19 — but his acceptance of the coveted honor was marred by a chorus of boos and screams, the latter from his dedicated corps of Beliebers. Despite the outpuring of Belieber love, the vocal haters clearly knocked the normally confident and cocky teen off his game, as evidenced by his disjointed and responsorial speech. “I’m 19 years old,” he said, as if that were some sort of justification. “I think I’m doing a pretty good job.” No question there — but we weren’t the ones needing convincing. It sounded like the Biebs himself was on shaky ground. “From my heart, I really just want to say, it should be about the music, the craft that I’m making,” he declared from behind a pair of sunglasses. “This is not a gimmick. I’m an artist, and I should be taken seriously.” When you have to tell people you’re an artist and demand to be taken seriously, you know you have a real image problem. (Cue the late-night parodies.) After that “moment,” Biebs got to the thank yous: his “manager Scooter Braun, my family, my mom, Jesus Christ,” He also thanked fans and his siblings. For his part, awards host Tracy Morgan tried to put the haters in their place, scolding, “Don’t be booin’ nobody up in here. This ain’t the Apollo!”

We know you’re probably still recovering from Bill Hader‘s bittersweet farewell on ‘SNL‘ over the weekend, but this might help cheer you up: Hader gets goofy in the June issue of GQ, and it’s really cute. I know I’m going to miss Bill Hader on ‘SNL’ — I’m not going to lie, I cried during his final Stefon segment, and I know I’m not the only one. But I’m looking forward to whatever he does next, which is hopefully more movies and guest appearances on other TV shows. His spots on ‘The Mindy Project’ this season were great, for example, and if you haven’t checked him out in movies like ‘Adventureland’ and ‘Superbad,’ you should go ahead and do that. Hader is that special breed of guy that’s cuter because he’s so talented and funny. He’s quirky looking, for sure, but if you saw his stint on ‘The Mindy Project,’ you know he can totally play the part of dreamy guy (and then not-so-dreamy — opposite of dreamy, really — in that season finale). So while he’s gone from ‘SNL’ and will no longer fill our Saturday nights with joy, that doesn’t mean he can’t make our eyes happy with these adorable photos from his June GQ photo shoot.

Damn it, Jim, he’s a doctor, not a tasty morsel! Oh wait, he’s both. Karl Urban‘s Dr. Bones character from ‘Star Trek Into Darkness‘ makes us think we should probably get more check-ups. ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ hits theaters today (officially, but you could have seen it as early as Wednesday night), so we conclude our look at the sexy men of ‘Star Trek’ with star Karl Urban, who plays eccentric character Bones, the Starship Enterprise’s head doctor, and one of the big heroes of the film. You may also recognize Urban from his role in last year’s action flick ‘Dredd,’ in which he played the lead character and sadly spent the entire film with a giant helmet covering his beautiful head. He’s also starred in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies, and lots of other action stuff like ‘Red’ and ‘Riddick.’ He’s like a total geek girl centerfold guy, really. Urban hails from New Zealand and participates in the charity KidsCan, which supplies food and necessities to over 16,000 New Zealand children. So, to recap, he’s sexy, he’s obviously into sci-fi and fantasy, and he’s into helping children. Surely he cannot be real.

If all villains look this sexy, then maybe we need to reassess our stance on supporting heroes. Meet Benedict Cumberbatch, the super sexy bad guy from ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’ Benedict has a very important role in the film: Aside from being one of many pieces of eye candy in the sequel, he’s also the film’s main villain, a terrorist by the name of John Harrison. But he’s so much more than that, especially for fans of the older ‘Star Trek’ movies and the TV show. (You’ll see what I mean when the movie hits theaters this Friday. I don’t want to say much more for fear of spoiling you.) Cumberbatch is not only a really fun name to say, but a really fun guy to behold. The British actor has a distinct look, and if you’ve been checking out our Daily Swoon features for a while now, you’ll know that we’re suckers for guys with interesting faces. Models and athletes and muscle-bound actors can be great, sure, but man alive — there’s something about an actor who doesn’t quite fit the mold and is sexy for some not-so-obvious reasons. Anyway, Mr. Cumberbatch has been around for a while — you may have seen him in ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ or ‘Atonement,’ and he stars in the BBC miniseries ‘Sherlock’ as the legendary detective. But be sure to check him out this Friday when ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ hits theaters. You won’t want to miss him making turtlenecks look all sexy.

It seems ABC has got some major competition on their hands with the launch of ‘The Baby Bachelor.’ On a recent episode of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ Jimmy debuted his new reality series, which stars his nephew Wesley, who yearns for a bride and a fire truck because he’s still a toddler. Much like the original ‘Bachelor‘ series, ‘The Baby Bachelor’ will have his pick from an array of possible brides, who are searching for either their soulmate or just a sugar daddy (or possibly an actual daddy). We don’t know about you, but we think everyone agrees with Wesley — we’d all like to get the big girl. Who will stay and who will go “bye-bye”? Stay tuned for more!

As you may have heard if you logged on to the Interwebs today, Yahoo bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion, and immediately freaked out basically everyone on Tumblr. Didn’t Yahoo realize that they’re dealing with a community of unemployed millennials who have nothing to do with their time but make GIFs and memes? Because that’s what happened. Here’s how Tumblr is reacting to becoming part of the Yahoo community.

This past weekend J.J. Abrams unleashed the second entry in his rebooted ‘Star Trek’ franchise, ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’ With Kirk, Spock, Uhura and company back in theaters, we’ve been giddily revisiting all things Enterprise, and we realized there is one thing this reboot demands more of: George Takei. Like swashbuckling Sulu wouldn’t have improved things by 100%. Takei has emerged as a major force in social networking, political activism and general interwebs awesomeness. And we just can’t get enough. Just imagine what ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ would look like with Takei playing every character. We did. Oh my! All photos by Kristy Puchko
