Sticker art
Sticker art (also known as sticker bombing, sticker slapping, slap tagging, and sticker tagging) is a form of street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise a subcategory of Graffiti.[citation needed] Stickers can be placed anywhere accessible, with a much lower risk of apprehension by officials enforcing anti–vandalism laws. Sticker artists use a variety of label types, including inexpensively purchased and free stickers, such as the United States Postal Service's Label 228 or name tags. Label 228's are often used with hand-drawn art, and are quite hard to remove, leaving a white, sticky residue. Artist Cristina Vanko refers to her "I am Coal" project as "smart vandalism Sticker artists often trade their work with each other in order to expand distribution.

LEGO Art by Nathan Sawaya
Nathan Sawaya, a 36-year-old former lawyer has stunned the world with his incredible LEGO artworks. If giving up a successful career in law that paid a six figure salary, to follow a childhood dream doesn’t spell passion, then I don’t know what does. That’s exactly what Nathan Sawaya did, but he managed to build himself another career brick by brick and now he sells his LEGO masterpieces for thousands of dollars. Right now, Nathan has an inventory of 1.5 million LEGO bricks to use on his sculptures, at his New York studio and says his largest artwork was made up of about half-a-million bricks. After posting his early work on the internet, Nathan Sawaya started getting orders for his art and realized the huge potential of his work. This isn’t the first time Nathan Sawaya’s work has been featured on Oddity Central, we posted some photos of his amazing LEGO cello, a while back. via Telegraph.co.uk Reddit Stumble
Anal-Retentive Miniscule Pencil Tip Carvings « How-To News
Dalton Ghetti has been carving teeny, tiny pencil tip sculptures for 25 years. The New York Times reports, "Mr. Ghetti, who owns about as many possessions as a monk, is aware how unusual his craft is. He started carving tree bark when he was a child and experimented with everything from soap to chalk before settling on graphite. It’s second nature now, and for 90 percent of his work, all he needs is a sewing needle, a razor blade and a carpenter’s or No. 2 pencil. 'The pencil tip is great; it’s like a pure, very homogenous material,' he said. Insane. UPDATE: Many more images of Ghetti's work can be seen here.
