Like a new modern version of invisible ink, superhydrophobic coatings can also be used to create hidden street art that stays invisible until it gets wet. Peregrine Chuch, a Seattle-based street artist, created a series of public works of street art called Rainworks using the same sort of hydrophobic coatings.

Most museums don’t like to see their visitors take pictures, some going so far as to charge them for the privilege. But this is not the case at the Art In Island museum in Manila, The Philippines. Here, visitors are encouraged to interact and have fun with the art pieces, taking as many photos as they want. “Art paintings are not complete if you are not with them, if you don’t take pictures with them,” Blyth Cambaya, the museum’s secretary.

The euro is a controversial currency, but one thing that we can agree upon is that this currency might look a lot better if Hungarian graphic design student Barbara Bernat had anything to say about it. She created a series of fictional Hungarian euros with beautiful and elegant illustrations of European plants and animals that I would just love to have a wad of in my lonely and empty wallet.

It's important for students to feel inspired in whatever they're studying. The best way to encourage this is to surround them with fascinating things to pique their interests. At least that's what a middle school art teacher and Reddit user found. His method of inspiring his students also serves as a great way to pass his free time in the classroom.

Chris Bennett originally trained and worked in mechanical engineering and then went to art school and studied graphic design. After all that he worked in various advertising agencies in Britain and Germany. Then he gave up his job! He found himself in a remote and beautiful part of the world, German Alps, where he still lives. He became a “house husband” with loads of spare time. Therefore, he decided to create his own pictures in Photoshop.

In Bea Crespo and Andrea G. Portoles’ delightful “Brunchcity” series, paper dioramas form iconic skylines that pop out of foods for which major cities are famous. Crespo, an illustrator, created the charming drawings, selecting and sketching landmarks that represent each city. For example, the ruins of Athens' Parthenon rises out of a dish of Greek yogurt, Cuba's capital building and a mural of Che Guevera stand on a bedrock of beans and rice, and a paper Coliseum teeters on the...

Philippe Echaroux is a French photographer and street artist born in 1983. He invented the concept of Street Art 2.0 with his project, named “Paintings with lights”, and kicked-off in his home city of Marseille in March, 2014. 2 weeks later and his project created the buzz in 44 countries. Philippe’s street art is not leaving any prints on locations he uses to exhibit his art, playing with his favorite tool: light. The beauty of his art is therefore ephemeral.

Using layers of paper and a light source, Er creates unique worlds that are at once mysterious and charming. Some of the circular pieces even rotate, creating a moving, living world around her characters. The light behind the paper allows the images to emerge from the darkness, as though you've come from a thick forest into a bright clearing.

New York-based artist Maude White is back with some new meticulously crafted paper illustrations. Believe it or not, but these awe-inspiring paper cuttings are made entirely by hand, using only a craft knife. “When I cut paper, I feel as if I am peeling back the outer, superficial layer of our vision to reveal the secret space beneath,” explains White in her artist’s statement. “With paper cutting there are so many opportunities to create negative space that tells its own story. Letting the...

Meet Shayna Leib, an American glassblowing artist, whose magical art can make your heart stop in amazement. She works with different materials but prefers glass “not for its mimetic qualities to capture the look of other materials, but for it’s ability to express flow, freeze a moment in time, and manipulate optics.”

Portuguese street artist Artur Bordalo, aka Bordalo II, uses mixed media to create his own interpretations of the urban landscape and environment. He often composes his works using various found items that he merges together into beautiful forms. In that sense, his street art is unique because it appears slightly three-dimensional and is presented in surprisingly tactile formations.

Latte art is far evolved in Japan when compared to the rest of the world. No, they don't have a special latte printer. What they do have are lattes with hyper-realistic designs crafted into the drink's foam. It's quite impressive.

Ruth Oosterman noticed her 2-year-old daughter, Eve had begun taking a keener interest in her work, especially while she was painting. So she decided to include the little one in her process with this amazing collaboration. They start with Eve, a canvas and an ordinary ink pen. Ruth doesn't guide or influence Eve, just lets her create on her own. Then Ruth builds on the scribbles with watercolor.

Canadian artist Aganetha Dyck sought the help of some worker bees for her work. To call attention to the dwindling bee population, Dyck let bees alter porcelain figurines and other objects. The honeycombs add a certain artistic flair to the sculptures; the bees giving odd new additions to the pieces.

Using the human body as her canvas, artist Gesine Marwedel creates amazing works of body art that will have you staring in awe.

Once you’re done drinking out of an aluminum can, there isn’t much left to do but recycle it. Not for Japanese artist Makaon, though. He takes these would-be discarded cans and turns them into sculptures featuring characters from popular culture. We see the Super Mario Brothers, Batman, Pikachu, and even Buzz Lightyear crafted out of the various colorful packaging.
To construct these works, Makaon takes small pieces of the aluminum and bends it to form the shapes that he wants. Any given...

Farmers in Japan get creative with their rice paddies by turning them into wonderful living murals—both traditional and contemporary. What's even more amazing about this art form known as "tanbo art" is that absolutely no dyes are used. Instead, different strains of rice are planted to create the different colors. These are the remarkable results after several months of careful planning, sowing, and patiently waiting.
