I would love this as a coffee mug. I wonder what it’s like to grip. 

I also wonder if this is part of a series of animal mugs.

Heinz Isler’s ice structures. 

This is what I would call the art of nature and physics.

Heinz Isler, a swiss engineer, started experimenting with ice just a few years afer graduating from university. He would hang nets, cloth, strings and balloons on trees; supporting them from below with rods. Taking on their natural form through their own weight and the wind, they would then be sprayed with water and ice over to form self supporting structures. A millimeter thick layer of ice was enough to allow the supporting structure to be removed, leaving them suspended.

Wataru Yoshida: Composition of Mammals.

Japanese illustrator Wataru Yoshida created a set of posters that combine photographs of mammals [of sea, of land, and homo sapiens] overlaid with subtle illustrations of their body structures. They were created for an imaginary exhibition at the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, which studies the anatomy of mammals with displays of taxidermy and skeletons.

These are lovely, such delicate lines. The overlapping illustrations have a subtle eerieness.
