0 A SMILEY FACE HIDDEN AMONG 36,445 SCREWS - An INSTALLATION By studio yumakano

This installation project by studio yumakano entails an assortment of screws, 36,445 to be precise, in varying depths, to create a tactile texture. The nails portray a pattern which represents the city, Hamamatsu, famous for its industrial hub with the manufacturing giant, Suzuki, known for its cars, motorcycles and other instruments, calling it home.

The amount of screws embedded, 36,445, is the same number of officially registered businesses located in the metropolis.

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....
