Office built out of thousands of bottles

Hoping to showcase his skills in order to start his own business, Chinese architecture graduate Li Rongjun, built an incredible office using thousands of discarded beer bottles.

In celebration of the recent Malta Street Art Festival, artist Leon Keer created an anamorphic painting of sweet treats. Giant gummy bears grace a boardwalk in Valletta, and they’re crafted in a 3D style that, when viewed from above, makes them appear as if they’re standing upright.

Coupled with crisp shading, the candies have a striking, realistic presence that looks almost natural among the people passing by. Read more Giant 3D Paintings of Gummy Bears ›
