Japanese artist Sagaki Keita creates awesome composite pen and ink illustrations using countless densely scribbled doodles - often cute, goofy little characters like you might find yourself absentmindedly drawing during class or a meeting. But unlike your own doodles, Keita’s scribbles come together to form incredible pieces famous works of art and landmarks from all over the world. Here you see his depictions of Antonio Canova’s famous sculpture Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss and the Statue of Liberty.

Visit Colossal to view more examples of Sagaki Keita’s incredible doodle art (some of which are from a commissioned campaign for Expedia from late last year) and then head over to Keita’s own website to view more.

What kind of memories would a carousel have? Photographer Pep Ventosa answers this question with an awesome series entitled In the Rounds - Carousels. Multiple shots were taken while walking in a circle around the carousel, then the images were blended together. This particular one was taken at the Tibidabo amusement park in Barcelona. We love the ghostly figures flying through the air. Ventosa says of his works: “Part memory, part imagination. Not unlike the way we see.” [via My Modern Metropolis]
