Using photography as a foundation for his portraits, Russian artist Oleg Dou manipulates the skin and bodies of his subjects via modern technology. His ‘Cub’ series depicts spectral children, their intense gazes confronting the viewer, fashioned with surreal trappings and an ethereal innocence. Imbued with an eerie stillness, these portraits were influenced by the macabre Victorian era practice of post-mortem photography, an inspiration that adds a foreboding tension to the strange, dream-like beauty of the work.

Star Warsigami by Martin Hunt
A long time ago in a cubicle far, far away… Martin Hunt took foil and other assorted paper products and folded them into miniature Star Destroyers, Speeder Bikes, and Tie Fighters. If he used the Force to fold these with the power of his mind I’d be even more impressed (and slightly disappointed: you mastered the ways of the Force and you haven’t used it to Force Choke somebody yet?).
