Like the previously posted monster sketches, Yeon Doo Jung takes children's drawings and ups the fidelity, in this case by taking photographs. You can see his work at Wonderland (via Metafilter).
In the UK, people are combining photos and banknotes. In Japan, they're folding Turban Noguchi. And I thought money was just for buying stuff.
This juxtaposition of street maps is a striking composition. Each city exudes so much character from just a small slice of its layout. This site does the same for subways.
Vladstudio has a very pretty collection of desktop wallpapers. I was particularly captivated by this world map with the land as oceans and the oceans as land. I could spend hours daydreaming about this imaginary planet. When I was a kid, I used to wander around the house with a mirror under my nose, imagining what it'd be like if everything were suddenly inverted. It's completely different, but I somehow got the exact same feeling from this map.
