The Japanese studio Torafu Architects designed 2 new versions of their air vases: Gradation and Cube. Those 2 patterns are printed on both sides of paper disks, which are cut so the user can simply pull them into the desired shape. They don’t much function but they look nice.
Ball Point Pen Paintings by Shane McAdams. He actually opens the ballpoint pens cartridges to blow, pour or let the ink flow on panels. Afterwards the panels get a special UV treatment at a tanning salon.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted some animated GIF’s, but these ones by Yoshi Sodeoka are … psychedelic. I was actually surprised that I didn’t post anything else from his portfolio before. It’s packed with visual stimuli.

Have A Nice Day is an ongoing project by Jennis Li Cheng Tien. They aren’t real paintings but digitally distorted collages made with images sourced from the internet.
