Ellis Nadler’s Cards of Wu
The Cards of Wu is a project by Ellis Nadler, and was conceived as a “satire on the Tarot in a set of 78 woodcuts.” As a reformed Tarot junky, I had a chuckle or two. | via Drawn

58 Cents by David Horvitz
David Horvitz is a Brooklyn-based artist whom I admire and respect very much. In his new project 58 Cents, he aims to pay off the entirety of his student loan debt by asking total strangers to send payments to Sallie Mae, one 58-cent-check at a time. Wish I’d thought of this first… Funny, smart, practical. <3 this guy. | via BOOOOOM!

New World Transparent Specimen
This an amazing experiment by Iori Tomita, where animals are turned clear, and then their bones and cartilage are selectively dyed to expose what’s under the surface. Wish they were still living. | via Geekologie
