0 THE MINIATURE PAINTINGS BY Turkish Artist, Hasan Kale
Meet Hasan Kale, the artist from Istanbul who paints on things so small an unimaginable it will leave you in awe. No canvas is too tiny or weird for him to paint on. Take for example peanuts in a shell. He doesn't just paint on the shell but rather on the peanut itself! Half a peanut at that! He'll paint a drawing not on the entire shell but a sliver of the shell.
He purposely chooses difficult objects and how small they are or how well they absorb paint is not as important to him. What is important to him, is how they come to life and bring joy to people....

0 THE EDIBLE BEYONCE OREO POP-TRAIT (made from 3780 pops)
Another yummy and most definitely edible creation by the one and only MICHELLE WIBOWO...
The scrumptious five foot by eight foot portrait was made entirely of Oreo pops - crushed Oreo biscuits mixed with Philadelphia cream cheese – each pop was handmade in different consistencies to create 2244 dark pops and 1536 lighter pops; an impressive 3780 pops in total! The full creation required eight hours of careful construction on the day and more than six weeks planning.

Food artist Michelle said: “When I was asked to create a pop icon portrait using just Oreo pops, new mum and superstar Beyoncé seemed the natural choice.
It took a long time to map the exact position for each pop and create a recognisable likeness, but the hardest part of the process was trying not to eat it!

Former Atomic Kitten pop star, Jenny Frost and her son Caspar had fun helping to create the tasty A-list likeness as part of a campaign to inspire families to have more fun in the kitchen together.

0 WOODEN SCULPTORS BY TOM ECKERT
Tom Eckert creates everything out of wood and we mean EVERYTHING. His sculptures are formed entirely of wood and then painted. He uses traditional processes to carve, construct, laminate and paint his pieces. The woods he prefers working with are basswood, linden and limewood (all very similar) chosen because they carve and paint well and are very stable.
Coming from a painting and drawing background, he applys some of these techniques to his sculptures. His choice of paint is mostly waterborne lacquer applied using both spray guns and brushes.
Forms carved to suggest cloth recur in many of his pieces. As he explains on his site: By tradition, cloth has been widely used to conceal and shroud objects in practices ranging from advertising to church rituals. Covered forms are often more evocative - with a sense of mystery absent from the uncovered object by itself. As he recalls: "I remember in church one Lent, as a child, being mystified while gazing at the statues shrouded with purple cloth."
He further goes on to say: “Cloth” carved of wood has much different structural qualities than real cloth. When this idea is applied to my compositions (floating book, floating cards, floating rock) a sense of the impossible happens - for me, magic.

0 THE HYPERREALIST SCULPTORS OF RON MUECK
Just when you think they couldn't get better, meet life-like sculpturist Ron Mueck.
Ronald "Ron" Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in the United Kingdom.
Ron was born in Australia to German parents. He began his career working on the Australian children's television program Shirl's Neighbourhood. He was the creative director and made, voiced and operated the puppets Greenfinger the Garden Gnome, Ol' Possum, Stanley the snake and Claude the Crow amongst many others. The show was made for Channel 7 Melbourne between 1979 and 1984, broadcast nationally and starred the ex-lead singer of Skyhooks, Graeme "Shirley" Strachan.
Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth for which he also contributed the voice of Ludo, and the Jim Henson series The Storyteller.
Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. Although highly detailed, these props were usually designed to be photographed from one specific angle hiding the mess of construction seen from the other side. Mueck increasingly wanted to produce realistic sculptures which looked perfect from all angles.
In 1996 Mueck transitioned to fine art, collaborating with his mother-in-law, Paula Rego, to produce small figures as part of a tableau she was showing at the Hayward Gallery. Rego introduced him to Charles Saatchi who was immediately impressed and started to collect and commission work. This led to the piece which made Mueck's name, Dead Dad, being included in the Sensation show at the Royal Academy the following year. Dead Dad is a silicone and mixed media sculpture of the corpse of Mueck's father reduced to about two thirds of its natural scale. It is the only work of Mueck's that uses his own hair for the finished product.
