Words as Images by Ji Lee
Whenever we read a news story, book, letter, or any other form of text our brain relates specific words with previously seen images. By accessing our past memories, like a hard drive, our brain is able to create a visual illustration simply out of words. Taking this one step further, Ji Lee eliminates the need for our brain to do this process.
An Essay by Einstein
"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving... "I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty.
Hasegawa Yosuke makes origami out of dolla dolla bills
Jul 27, 2012 Money: you love it or hate it, or pretend to hate it, or merely tolerate it, but whatever the case, unless you’re communing with god on an ashram or totally comfortable dumpster diving and sleeping under bridges, it’s a pretty big part of your life. And as a wise man once said (probably), it’s not how much money you have, it’s what you do with what you’ve got. Hasegawa Yosuke, for example, folds dollar bills (and rupees and yen and pesos, etc) into the faces of little historical figures, usually wearing some sort of culturally specific hat. This series of Abe Lincolns and George Washingtons, which barring any mistakes took him almost $50 to make, ranges from a baseball cap to a helmet of some kind to a turban. Check out many, many more of Yosuke’s little money faces here.

3D Illustrations Come Alive on the Page!
Figures come alive and jump off the pages in these illustrations by Japanese artist Nagai Hideyuki. By displaying simple pads of paper at special vantage points, the artist's amazing charcoal and pencil drawings form playful 3D optical illusions. The 21-year-old artist has quite a knack for perspective and each new drawing is more surprising than the next. Hideyuki identifies himself as an anamorphic artist, which is a style of art that stems from the early Renaissance. The style features techniques based on perspective, where an artist creates distorted images or drawings that are recognizable only when viewed in a certain way. The way Hideyuki sets up his sketch pads reminds me of opening a pop-up book and having the scenes emerge before my eyes.
