Rubik's Cube mosaic

Recently, I've been obsessed with the Rubik's Cube. It took me 28 days of practicing 30 minutes a day, but I can now solve any cube in less than 2 1/2 minutes. The next step for me? To start creating Halloween-themed mosaics out of the cubes like this guy.

Elvira's Junk Drawer

Artist Jason Mecier created this huge (40" x 56") mosaic of Elvira entirely out of personal items that she sent him. (Including Elvira brand beer, make-up, lashes, candycorn, sunglasses, etc...). It now hangs in her personal office. To see more of from Jason's "Celebrity Junk Drawer" series, check out his website and MySpace page.

Mosaic of Death

Zach Johnson created "Mosaic of Death" because he "really wanted to create a stained glass piece that somehow contradicted the norm. Instead of life being depicted, as in normal stained glass works that sit in churches around the world, I wanted to depict death… an equally important side of life and the other side of the coin. I wanted to almost commemorate or celebrate death, the way you would with life. Not to be morbid, but death is a fact of life and it will eventually claim us all."

Skull photo mosaic made from packs of cigarettes

Artist Chris Jordan creates big art that "looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics". This 72" x 98" piece (based on a painting by Van Gogh) entitled "Skull With Cigarette, 2007" "depicts 200,000 packs of cigarettes, equal to the number of Americans who die from cigarette smoking every six months."Click here to see more from his "Running The Numbers" series.
