Plasticine Portraits by Mondongo

Argentinian art collective Mondongo (which is the name of a traditional Argentinian tripe stew) creates incredibly detailed portraits by using dripped and molded Plasticine.



Mondongo which consists of the trio Juliana Laffitte, Manuel Mendanha and Agustina Picasso was founded in 1999 and has created subversive works out of a multitude of ingredients.





In their 2008 manifesto, they claim, "We are like three witches stirring it up in a cauldron… attempting to alchemize, to distill, and to ooze all the chaos and the all possible “all-ness” in it…"

Numberism Painting by Sienna Morris

The technique is much like pointillism, however Morris uses Numbers instead of dots. There are absolutely no lines and no smudging in these drawings.









Sienna’s people are always drawn with the numbers of the clock. “Time is all we have. It’s how we experience this world, and is the greatest thing to gain or lose.





Sienna’s Math and Science series is drawn with scientific and mathematical data relevant to the subject matter.

Amazing Art Made Of Map

Artist: Nikki Rosato

Massachusetts-based artist Nikki Rosato cuts away old maps until only the roads and rivers remain. She creates compelling 2-D and 3-D portraits of real-life people from maps of places they care about or identify with.



"Our physical bodies are beautiful structures full of detail, and they hold the stories that haunt and mold our lives. The lines on a road map are beautifully similar to the lines that cover the surface of the human body," Rosato says in a statement on her website.
