Hilariously Clever Illustrations, Part 2 - My Modern Met

Hilariously Clever Illustrations, Part 2 - My Modern Met
Known as Flying Mouse, Chow Hon Lam is the brilliant man behind some of the cleverest and coolest illustrations we've ever featured on theMET! (See 15 Clever, Witty Illustrations.) He's back with a whole new set of work that's just as simple but smart as before. To Lam, the t-shirt is a “medium through which stories are told, be they in a surreal or witty fashion.” I love how he can bring smiles to the world through his one-of-a-kind illustrations.

Mesmerizing table looks like ocean depths | I Lobo You | Boca do Lobo's inspirational world | Exclusive Design | Interiors | Lifestyle | Art | Architecture | Fashion Duffy London designed the table that is right now in the mouths of the world. It’s a mesmerizing table that looks like ocean depths as the designer took those as inspiration. Duffy called this artistic table “Abyss table”. To create this visual effect, the table is made of multiple layers of stacked glass and wooden slices. The design creates a geological cross-section of the sea, completing the table as a 3-dimensional model of a geological map. How the idea came to life: ‘I was looking into sheets of thick glass at my glass manufacturer’s factory, and noticed how the material darkened as they added more layers – the same way the sea does as it deepens.’ The furniture piece acts as both a conversation piece as much as it does a functional one.

They understand the art of ruining a photo in a way that our feeble people brains could never comprehend. It’s been a long time since we rounded up the funniest cats photobombs, so we went through the seemingly endless supply of them that have made the Internet in the last year and found some hilarious new ones to share with you. 1. Sad Window Kitten Why are you so sad, Window Kitten? 2. Incorporating levitation is extremely advanced photobombing. 3. It still counts as a photobomb even if you are trying to block a bullet. 4. 5. This overly self-serious cat just completely ruined what was going to be a perfectly good picture of some dude in a blue shirt. 6. This is from a scene in a doggie horror film where they develop their vacation pictures and realize they were being watched the whole time. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Beautiful Chaos: Watercolor Paintings by Lora Zombie Lora Zombie calls her bright, color splattered watercolors “grunge art” but I’m fairly sure you could label it anything from “magnetic” to “uplifting” and be right on. Her speech bubble heavy works, mix diverse linear characters with perfectly placed splashes of paint, giving the pieces a happy mix of perfection and chaos. If you cruise by her website, lorazombie.com or DeviantArt, you’ll find a plethora of other work with new pieces from her latest show at Mart Gallery, St. Petersburg, Russia. See the bottom of this post for an intimate look at Lora creating her piece “Love Shock.” If you like this art, see our post on watercolors by Conrad Roset. Below, Lora Zombie creates Love Shock. Love Shock. The artist herself.

New Portraits Drawn with Coffee, Tea, and Ink by Carne Griffiths New impressive portraits drawn with coffee, Tea, Ink and Liquor by London-based artist Carne Griffiths… Carne Griffiths Nouvelle série de portraits impressionnants, dessinés avec café, thé, et encre par l’artist Carne Griffiths, basé à Londres… Oil Finger Paintings by Iris Scott One day while completing an oil painting of a field artist Iris Scott needed to make a few quick adjustments to some yellow flowers but every brush at her disposal was stained a deep dark blue. Not wanting to stop and wash the brushes she decided to make a few quick touchups with her fingers, a small change to her process that would immediately change the course of her career. Wearing a pair of surgical gloves Scott now paints exclusively with her fingers bringing an impressionistic sense of color and texture to all of her paintings. The artist has a number of original works available on her website as well as prints over on Etsy, and here’s a quick video of her discussing her work on YouTube.
