The US currency is a little boring to me, however these new concept dollar bills are something I would carry around in style.  The creator Travis Purrington revamped the US dollar bills with a more modern twist as part of his Master's thesis at the Basel School of Design in Switzerland. Check out the images below for the new design's.  If you want more information on these design's check it out on Mashable.

Artist Othman Toma from Baghdad, Iraq, has taken his watercolor skills to the test by painting with melted ice-cream instead of the traditional paint. He paints mini masterpieces with different flavors of ice-cream and popsicle. Talk about a sweet treat!

You can follow him on Instgram here.

Artist Chris Maynard has created these beautiful works of art out of feathers. Each feather design is placed in a shadowbox and uses feathers naturally shed from birds. These were made with the help of scissors, forceps, magnifying glasses and feathers provided by zoos. Check out more of his work on his site

Violaine & Jeremy is a graphic design and illustration studio based in Paris formed by Violaine Orsoni and Jeremy Schneider. These two have collaborated on album covers, design and layout of Influencia magazine and identity projects. I found that some of their best work is with the graphite drawings of quirky animals with beards of wildlife and other fun characters. You can see more of their work on Behance.

Superheroes are not always saving people. Sometimes they just jam out like rock stars.

Graphic artist Andrés Moncayo gives you a glimpse into superhero rock glam with his stylish illustration series. He changes their dull outfits for both Justice League and Avengers for a more grunge glam look. Moncayo gave each superhero their own custom costume to wear on stage where they play at their favorite dive bar, where they're playing a slew of sold out shows.

I stumbled across this artist recently and thought his work was not only inspiring, but a great example on how beautiful upcycled art can be. Haroshi, a Japanese skateboarder turned artist makes these masterpieces out of old skateboard decks, and even uses broken hardware for the interior of his three dimensional pieces. If you have ever skateboarded, you know how quickly you can accumulate a stack of broken decks. Nothing goes to waste, I like Haroshi's style. Check out more of his work here.

Visual Candy for the day. Enjoy the aerialscapes of German photographer, Jakob Wagner.  I'm a sucker for visual scapes of ariel parts of the world that I might not never see. He does a great job on his enhanced textures and shadow detail, while still make the images clean and natural. I recommend checking out more of his portfolio.

Have you seen the Pibal bicycle crossed with what? A scooter. French designer Philippe Starck and car company Peugeot have unveiled a prototype bicycle crossed with a scooter, designed for a free cycle scheme in Bordeaux, France. Good idea. The first 300 units are expected to be manufactured and delivered by Peugeot in June, when they'll be loaned to citizens for Free. I wouldn't mind trying one out, but I don't live France.

I stumbled upon Reuben Wu and his photography and just like his work in Ladytron, I was impressed. His images let you get lost in the world that we might not always get a chance to see.  Also as you can see from the first image he also did the latest photography session with Tycho.
