Back in the 1800s, if you got shot in the leg, it came off. Broke your arm? Let’s drink some whiskey and saw it off. Modern medicine has been well aided through anatomical drawings from centuries past. Kaibo Zonshinzu has not only drawn some of the most intricate, beautiful medical scrolls, but takes it the extra mile by depicting pain ...

These creepy sheep are part of an art installation in Creepsville. If you take a closer look, you’ll see the head of each animal has been replaced with a rotary phone circa 1955.

Although it’s no Pita Wallet, the Currency Wallet from Margiela will certainly attract a classier woman when you whip it out of your back pocket. Available in either the US Dollar or the Euro, each wallet is about $390 and demands an owner with plenty of cash to load it up with. At least you’ll look wealthy when you whip ...

After about three batches of magic mushrooms gone wrong, Jonathon Yule decided to put his graphic design skills to the test. As part of his art program at the University of Toronto, Yule decided to blend art, typography, fonts and robots all into one medium. The result? Gear-filled and ridiculous. Jon has used popular fonts like Helvetica and Futura to ...

Shown as part of the Tissue Culture and Art Project at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York, this new Victimless Leather shows that animals don’t need to be harvested for textiles, but they are still equally tasty if I might say so myself. Mmm, cheeseburgers. The project’s goal is to attempt “artistically exploring and provoking notions relating to ...

A classic line from Star Trek is “Beam me up, Scotti.” Using only colored beads and thread, avid Star Trek fan Devorah Sperber recreated the beaming up look, starring the one and only Captain Kirk, with William Shatner goodness.
