Maps of cities recreated from paper cuts

These paper hand-cut maps of cities by architectural designer studiokmo are so intricate, they are very, very impressive. This one is a map of London. She writes: "As you can see, the streets are primarily white with text. Then there is a border of text surrounding the map-cut, which frames it quite nicely."

Cartoon, comic and movie characters as Lego figurines

Yes, that's Lion-O from Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats, Hooooo!!! Angus MacLane is a Pixar animator by day but during his free time, he makes wonderful Lego creations like his CubeDudes, a new scale for figure building with all of the charm of Miniland scale with the specificity of the Minifig scale. The guy is a genius!

Coffee Cup Art by Boey

Boey draws on foam cups and sells them for hundreds of dollars each! This one is available for US$280. He writes: "One of the things I wanted to do was to capture the innocence of childhood, the angry, rebellious early years of the teenage boy, and the ahhh-I-dont-care-anymore attitude that comes with age." More cups here.
