Cadburys and Scottish artist David Mach are responsible for making Gorillas extremely cool in my eyes. Both different yet incredible forms of recreating Gorillas. Cadbury have created the best advert of the year using a Gorilla costume with a motorised face and David Mach has made the boring coat hanger an exciting art medium with his stunning coat hanger Gorilla.

Peter Callesen creates some amazing pieces of art by cutting up and paper into various shapes and turns the cut out sections into detail to go along with the whole art piece. Who ever thought a flat piece of paper could be turned into such beauty. [via iamboredr]

Now here is an odd use for those vintage cassette tapes. Brian Dettmer created the skull and skeleton by melting 80s metal band cassettes. The skull and skeleton are both currently on display at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago. Creepy but cool.

Eric Harshbarger has created these stunning LEGO sculptures which fit into any fun loving persons house perfectly. The LEGO desk is built out of approximately 35,000 LEGO bricks and weighs roughly 120 pounds. If you think the desk is impressive in my opinion it does not compare to the LEGO grandfather clock. Eric is a true LEGO master.


If you go travelling and come across a stunning sand castle or sand sculpture then count yourself lucky because all I ever get to see is a 2 foot crumbling sand castle here in the UK.


This stunning diamond skull created by Damien Hirst is art at its blingest. Worth a whopping $98 it contains 8,601 diamonds, hundreds of jewels filling the nose, eye sockets and 52-carat pear-shaped stone bordered with 14 diamonds on the forehead and some not so desirable human teeth.

If you want see this diamond masterpiece in person you can do so at the Beyond Belief Exhibition at the White Cube Gallery in East London. The exhibition runs until 7th July and is based on Hirst exploring the fundamental themes of human existence – life, death, truth, love. There are also some Diamond Skull art prints available which will set you back a few thousand pounds.

Ever wondered what Pac-Man’s skeleton structure would look like? Well Le Gentil Garçon in collaboration with François Escuilié, a palaeontologist, made some comparative observations of human and predatory animal skulls to come up with these two concepts. I have to say that Pac-Man skinless looks pretty awesome although I wonder what Pac-Man’s brain looks like, I predict it would be pretty tiny as he does is wonder around a maze and eat all day.
This amazing Ice sculpture takes and 132 hours to finish but its display time quite a bit shorter. Watch the video and be prepared to scream “NOOOOOOO” [Via Core77]

Destructoid have put togther a mini gallery of Lego art based on Video games including many retro favourites such as Bowser, Mario, Metroid, Sonic and more. Lego really is a great medium of art nowadays and I think it is because lego is something anyone can get into to no matter what age you are or what artistic ability you have. If you have any cool Lego sculpts or if you know of any let us know. In the meantime visit the Destructoid 07′ LEGO video game art gallery.
