When the Belgian illustrator Prudence Geerts launched Planet Prudence on Instagram in 2016, she simply wanted a place to document her thoughts and experiences, a visual diary where she could process everything from self-doubt and anxiety to the awkward realities of adulthood. What began as a deeply personal project quickly resonated with hundreds of thousands of readers who saw their own insecurities, frustrations, and everyday triumphs reflected in her honest illustrations. Over the years Geerts has used her platform to explore topics including body image, mental health, trauma, relationships, feminism, and self-worth, always balancing vulnerability with humor. She has often said that her goal isn't to present a perfect version of life, but to remind people they're not alone in what they're feeling. That philosophy has earned her a devoted global community, one built not only on laughter but also on empathy, openness, and the reassuring idea that our imperfections are often the very things that connect us. #Art #illustration #artist #PrudenceGeertsScientists at UC Berkeley have found a way to make the human eye perceive a color that can't normally be seen in the natural world. They named it “olo,” and only five people had experienced it during the initial experiment. 🔬 Using a specialized system called Oz, researchers precisely targeted laser light at the eye's M-cones, the photoreceptor cells responsible for detecting green light. By stimulating those cells without activating the neighboring cone types, they produced a visual signal that the human eye doesn't naturally receive. Those who saw olo described it as an extremely saturated blue-green or peacock-green, far more intense than any ordinary green or teal. The color isn't something you can simply display on a phone or paint onto a canvas because it exists outside the normal range of human color perception. #Olo #newcolor #science İzmir-based tattoo artist Doğa Güney is proving that tattoos don't always need perfectly straight lines and flawless precision to be beautiful. Instead, her colorful, textured designs embrace the charm of pastel crayons, broken lines, soft edges, uneven pigment, and playful colors that sometimes spill outside the lines. With a background in animation and a love for illustration, Güney developed a distinctive style inspired by the freedom and spontaneity of childhood drawings. Although her tattoos may look effortless or imperfect at first, every irregular detail is carefully chosen to make the artwork feel more alive and personal. For Güney, the goal isn't perfection. It's capturing what she calls the “perfection of imperfection”, those little quirks and unexpected details that make art feel genuinely human.Museums are so much fun, it’s ridiculous that it’s not against the law. We absolutely love walking (remember, no running!) down the corridors of art galleries, as well as science and history museums. But while we’re absorbing all of that knowledge and human genius, we also remember to have a spot of fun.There are photographers who go looking for remarkable places, and then there are those who seem capable of making the familiar look remarkable. Turkish photographer Murat Bakmaz often falls into the latter category, building images around fleeting combinations of light, movement, silhouettes, animals, and people that might disappear a second later. What would ancient fossils and skulls look like if they belonged in a bizarre cartoon universe? Artist Filip Hodas answers that question with a series of surreal digital artworks that transform bones, fossils, and prehistoric remains into strange and imaginative scenes. Known for his highly detailed 3D artwork, Hodas combines familiar cartoon aesthetics with eerie archaeological imagery, creating worlds filled with oversized skulls, fossilized creatures, mysterious landscapes, and unexpected details.

After 7 years of doing cartoon work for an Istanbul-based magazine, a tattoo equipment set gifted to him in 2013 by his wife caused a shift in his creative vision, and his true craft began to shine through. Simple, yet sublime, the designs Cambaz produces have a distinctly modern feel, yet also remind us of the whimsical storybooks we used to read as children. "My tattoos are micro style, geometric, and direct," he told Vice Creators. "We are living in a complicated age. That's why I prefer to create minimalist lines in my pieces... Everything is now needing to become simpler." What the tattoos forgo in colour and convention, they make up for in quiet, understated beauty. #Art #tattoo #AhmetCambaz Italian artist Luca Ponsato's recurring use of fire has become one of his most recognizable visual motifs, a powerful metaphor for emotions that cannot be hidden, whether love, loss, anger, transformation, or hope. He invites viewers to interpret each piece through their own experiences, turning every artwork into a deeply personal dialogue between the image and the observer. #Art #LucaPonsato In the heart of Seoul, tattoo artist Buoy has been winning over fans with designs that radiate charm and playfulness.
