The Alternative Limb Project founded by Sophie Oliveira Barata creates unique prosthetic arms and legs that become a form of self-expression. The modern artificial limbs were designed to look like beautiful works of art empowered by the wearer and inspire positive dialogue about the human body.

Check out these realistic computer 3D renderings of wooden animals constructed out of low resolution polygon mesh.

The 2016 Rio Olympics have already started and we have been quite enjoying the games. So how about some art to celebrate the Olympics.  Spanish artist Raya Sader Bujana has created this 3D Paper Olympics series. Miniature sculptures of Olympic athletes made out of layers of white paper. If you get a chance as well check out her Etsy page

Artist Allison May Kiphuth captures scenes inspired by her surroundings in Maine and along the New Hampshire sea coast by squeezing them into small wooden boxes scarcely a few inches wide. Her mixed media dioramas are constructed from layered ink and watercolor illustrations assembled with pins and string inside antique boxes. The content of each artwork varies from piece to piece from underwater scenes of sea life, to magical tiny worlds populated by forest creatures.

You can see more of her work at Enormous Tiny Art and on Instagram.

Who doesn't like butterflies and insects made out of matchsticks? These creations were created by British artist Kyle Bean. It makes you wonder how long it took him on each piece and how many matchsticks were used for each one.  You can check out more of Kyle's work on his site.

Designer Chris Milnes created these creative Buddha statues for ($10-30 depending on the size) that look like iconic characters from popular comic books, television shows, and movies. All created with the magic of the 3D printer. So check out his Etsy store to see more Buddhas and support this artist.

I think I would go with the C3PO Budda.  What about you?

This is something that you don't see very often and I would consider it to be unique artwork. Chinese artist Li Hongbo transforms and carves out metal sculptures in knives and he has a huge collection of beautiful works of art.  What do you think?

I stumbled across this artist recently and thought his work was not only inspiring, but a great example on how beautiful upcycled art can be. Haroshi, a Japanese skateboarder turned artist makes these masterpieces out of old skateboard decks, and even uses broken hardware for the interior of his three dimensional pieces. If you have ever skateboarded, you know how quickly you can accumulate a stack of broken decks. Nothing goes to waste, I like Haroshi's style. Check out more of his work here.
