If you were a time traveler from a time before TVs, cell phones, and the internet you might find our time a little odd. Actually, that’s an understatement. You’d probably lose your mind at how advanced things are now. And once you got over the initial shock you’d probably think it was all stupid. I mean, selfie sticks? Really?

The sheet as art. The means by which the Danish artist Peter Callesen , creates wonderful sculptures engraved on common white sheets. A means for processing passes from support to work and vice versa: The figure tries to escape from the surface of the paper, creating a conceptual combination in which the lifeless body and its skeleton coexist, the dream is confused with reality, and the shadow it is one with the light.
For almost every day last month Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (who often goes by the nickname Red) created a fun illustration made with common (and occasionally not so common) food. Her parameters were simple: the image had to be comprised entirely of food and the only backdrop could be a white plate. With that in mind Yi set out to create landscapes, animals, homages to pop culture, and even a multi-frame telling of the three little pigs. The project, which still appears to be ongoing, has been documented heavily around the web.
