These extraordinary drawings are by Australian artist Laura Eddy, who renders celebrities and models like Dita Von Teese and Cara Delevingne in painstaking pencil work. Her imagery is full of skeletons, ice cream cones and confetti which adds a playful, feminine side to her art. One marvels at the time spent creating these wonders. via
When I was 5 years old I clearly remember a guy that was looking for us kids in a kidergarten. He owned an Edge-a-Sketch (actually its Soviet version called "Magic Screen") tool and did portraits while we had a siesta. That was impressive and realistic sketch portraits of his girlfriend (our nurse obviously) and I was wondering why he can do that and someone else cannot. That's how I got close to the definition "talent".I truly believe that no tools are the magic wand in the hand of creator but his talent and skills are. For trained oil painter and illustrator from UK Kyle Lambert an iPad is a tool and please have look what he did using only fingers and application Procreate. A hyper-realistic portrait of actor Morgan Freeman. Even after watching the video several times, you probably still won't believe that he created something so realistic using the same device your niece uses to play Angry Birds, so check out some bonus videos below for further proof.

Original photo of Morgan Freeman is made by Scott Gries
P.s. For those who cares, it believes that the video is not a fake, read the statement from Procreate CEO "There's been some controversy over the veracity of the Kyle Lambert painting video we shared earlier this week, and our CEO James has addressed these comments. Following the controversy we analysed the source file extensively, and determined that it is genuine. That this is hard to believe is testament to Kyle Lambert's exceptional work. Read the full statement here: http://procreate.si/press2/download.php?file=releases%2FKyleLambert-MorganFreeman.pdf "
Latvia-based artist Alex Konahin creates extraordinarily ornate, detailed and beautiful drawings like these using just pencils, pens and india ink.

After enormous success of "Russian Art get Simpsonised" students from Moscow high school of Art and Design BSHAD strikes again. I am really jealous they have a tutor like Dmitry Karpov, this time he "beats" out lumps of creative out of their heads. The brief was short - migrate Russian (Soviet) Cartoons personages to Foreign Animation Families like Adventure Time, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park and SpongeBob SquarePants. The idea of a study to explore new boundaries of multiculturalism and reveal tolerance and patience. To get more fun you must be Russian and grown up on Soviet animation, otherwise enjoy the project itself. You might find few works responding to the hot political topic around Ukraine's issues, but take it with a smile rather than seriously.

A prank video shows an “art student” meticulously copying the Suprematist works of Kazimir Malevich for a portfolio, then going around and showing his work for admission to a number of art academies under the anagrammatical name of Michael Mikrivaz. This prank’s conceit: that Malevich, or “Mikrivaz,” would be rejected by today’s art establishment, or something. via

Skull Armchair is an ominously powerful looking piece of furniture by French designer Harold Sangouard, aka Harow, that seems fit for anyone interested in comfort as they plot sinister moves. It definitely reminds me the work of another designer Maximo Riera with his series of "The Animal Chair"

They describe their new creation as a "...design that combines the childhood excitement of opening a new box of paints and the thrill of opening a box of chocolates you’ve been given unexpectedly." The twelve boxed chocolate-paint-tubes are flavoured with a different syrup according to the colour of their labels (which also play the role of wrappers)
