If you've ever wondered what Justin Bieber's head would look like if it were made of solid gold, this is your lucky day. At great cost and presumably over the course of many hours they will never get back, a team of 10 artists has produced one of the oddest sculptures you're ever likely to see -- a golden Bieber head.

How many times have you wrestled with one of those unwieldy packing tape rollers when boxing things up to move or to put in storage? Unless you maneuver it just right, the tape won't stay straight and winds up twisting over itself into a useless, tangled ball of frustration. Artists Sven Jonke, Cristoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljkovic have taken this sticky situation and turned it into a work of ar

With smartphones becoming veritable mini-computers and many people opting for texting over actual phone calls these days, voicemail is on its way to becoming a thing of the past. Artist Dustin Grella, however, still appreciates the medium: his quirky web short series Animation Hotline features stop-motion animated renderings of voicemails he receives. Each short is created on a chalkboard and take

The DayGlo-like effects in 'Mundo Neon,' a highly stylized commercial for Colombian yogurt company Bon Yurt, go way beyond the average glowstick. In the two-minute spot, a group of people in white jumpsuits are shown setting up an elaborate series of tubes, electronics, blenders and glowsticks. It starts off calm, but once the lights go off, the neon starts glowing, the blenders start spinning and

Who says you can only use spray paint cans for street art? Mountain Dew UK recruited two graffiti artists to create portraits of rocker Dave Grohl and 'Jackass' star Johnny Knoxville using only paintball guns. Check out their steady hands and the resulting works below:

Mosaic artist Jason Mecier believes when you call a celebrity "trashy," you should mean it. As part of his Celebrity Junkdrawers collection, Mecier makes incredibly creative portraits of stars using things the rest of us would normally throw away (one man's trash is another man's...Kathy Griffin visage).

As businesses close rapidly across the country, vacant storefronts are becoming a commonplace sight. A new project called 'I Wish This Was,' which began in New Orleans, features removable stickers that people can fill in and affix to unused commercial spaces and halted construction sites.

Displaying the world's largest photograph presents a number of unique challenges for a museum, chief among them being where to put a photo that's three stories tall and 11 stories wide. Created by a collective of six artists known as The Legacy Project and currently on display at California's UCR Sweeney Art Gallery, 'The Great Picture' is not only the largest photograph ever printed, but it wa

In a process that took nine hours, Dutch artists Lenert Engelberts and Sander Plug put a year's worth of makeup on a model's face at once. The mess included seven bottles of foundation, three lipsticks, and two bottles each of eye shadow and cream blush, bringing the grand total to 7.7 fl. oz of drippy "perfection."

This amazing little piece of split screen filmmaking, shot entirely with a Nokia N8 and winner of the Nokia Shorts Competition 2011, depicts the parallel lives of a man and a woman from different parts of the world who finally meet cute when their side of the frame syncs up.

Traffic congestion Southern California? Not for these toy cars. Things move along pretty briskly in this demonstration of California artist Chris Burden's "Metropolis II," an installation that features more than 1,100 Hot Wheels cars and 13 toy trains in perpetual motion. It's a big step up from "Metropolis I," which had a mere 80 cars. In part deux, each car passes through the

Much is made of artists' muses: Pablo Picasso had Marie-Thérèse Walter, Pedro Almodóvar has Penelope Cruz and Nicola Freeman has...candy necklaces and lollipops. The British art student sculpted humongous approximations of those and other sweets for an exhibition currently showing at the University of Wolverhampton.

Installation artist Gregory Euclide took an ordinary landscape and added a 3D element so that a painted river and forest appear to spill out of the frame and into the museum in which it hangs. The painting/diorama hybrid is currently on display at New York City's Museum of Arts and Design as part of an exhibition called "Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities." Check out a p
