Atlas by Fernando Vicente
In his art blog called Atlas, Spanish artist Fernando Vicente takes the distinct forms of landmasses and convert them into fantastic images. I particularly like the map of Africa turned into a skull (with Europe being the exploding head - lots of political imagery there).
Check out the entire series here: Link | Fernando’s other work: Anatomías (and for those of you who like politics, check out his work for Diario El País). LINK

Painted Lady Butterflies Develop, Emerge in Time Lapse
Here we see the later life stages of several Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui)Butterflies.
Once the caterpillars are mature, they suspend themselves upside-down, by attaching a body part called the "cremaster" to a silken pad on the twig, much like the way Velcro works.

Lost’ is the most recent film production in the urban art series produced by Tokyo-based art crew Rinpa Eshidan. These amazing short films document urban art creations with time-lapsed, predominantly black and white visuals, focusing more on the process of creating art than the outcome.

The work of PoisonVectors is just a new level of portraits, mixing it up with a lot of abstract 3d and great final touch and colors it's amazing. This is definitely a new style that came up from the trendy of making full body portraits with abstract effects around it, the difference is that PoisonVectors took it to another level. LINK
