If there is one talent I’ve always dreamed of having (aside from being able to roar like a Wookie), it’s the ability to be a good drawer. Just being able to draw something in which someway resembles what I was trying to draw would be cool. But no. God blessed me with the uncanny ability to find awesome shit online, but in the drawing department, I’m one of the worst artists you’ll ever meet. Seriously, I’m that bad.

The ScrabbleBot downloads instructional assistant sketches online and helps direct children and talentless wannabes like myself draw basic sketches such as ducks and other various water fowl.

We like to get down on Friday’s with the best of them. And what better way to get down then to celebrate the greatness of cheese sculpting? I know I’m excited!

These sculptures make my feeble attempts at sculpting a cheese penis out of my measly string cheese look like pure amateur play. Cheddar happens to be my favorite, and I’ve never been one to hesitate eating a U.S. president when I have the chance. As it turns out, cheese sculpting has its own dedicated niche. Very dedicated.

This Welsh shopping mall recreated the Mona Lisa blown up 50 times the original size. Made out of 82 paint by numbers tiles, this is officially the largest Mona Lisa in the world. I swear someone’s getting beat if that running dude leaves any footprints.

They know exactly how I love my women. Massive, flat and covered in protective lacquer.

Borrowing elements from both Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Monet’s lilies, I don’t know what would be more proper for this Impressionist Cake, eating it or hanging it on the wall.

Whatever you might do with it, one thing’s for sure. Even though the cake steals elements from other well-known paintings, it takes a real artistic eye to paint, with frosting I might add, such an accurate portrayal. This is a piece of art all by itself.

Still having a tough time picking out your Halloween costume? This Mona Lisa costume will probably work for both men and woman since the Mona Lisa itself is of ambiguous sex to begin with.

Simply create your own mock Mona Lisa design and cut a face hole in your design. Designer Alexa Westerfield provides more in-depth instructions on her site as well as other “masterpiece” ideas.

It’s been quite a while since DNA art was first introduced. These days, French company Helys not only lets you order prints of your DNA, but even offers to create a wallpaper for your iPhone featuring your own genetic image.

Helys sends you a DNA test kit in the mail, including a mouth swab for gathering your tasty saliva genes. Once the company creates your 100 dpi DNA image, you’ll receive a stylized genetic image via e-mail. And you thought an image of your fingerprint was unique.

If the Last Supper was attended by our favorite animals from the best internet memes across the web, it would have probably looked something like this. Just with more poop. Who else but Keyboard Cat could take the place of the man himself?

And, wow, I’d be so star-struck if I happened to get a seat. But the tickets per plate must have been outrageously expensive. As far as I can tell, the only animals missing are the cheeky squirrel and the dreaming dog running into the wall. The dog probably wouldn’t have reacted so well to all the kitties anyway.

Back when the bat-signal was still illuminated by candle light, a non-electronic wielding vigilante roamed the streets, hunting down such villains as Jack the Ripper.

Marc Tan created this awesome piece titled “Gotham by Gaslight,” visualizing the image of Batman as seen through the eyes of 19th century Gotham.

Living in a major city, you see tons of movie and theater posters pasted on every inch of the city’s walls. The high majority of these posters are defaced in some way. Torn or covered in graffiti. It usually pisses me off to see an artists work defaced, but these movie poster mash-ups are just awesome.

I’d so see most of these.

Social Designer created this Colored Pencil Wall Display, using 500 colored pencils and mounted plastic casings to create not only a work of gradient-inspired wall art, but a totally convenient way to grab your pencils.

Not only does it look really neat, but it’s sure to save some space as all your coloring implements are in one place. It’s going to be a blast sharpening all of these.
