Interior Design: Pac-Man Floors
Ground Kontrol Arcade is one of those landmarks that makes Portland, Oregon such a unique place to live. When Jessica Helgerson Interior Design was recently contracted to redesign the arcade's interior, they knew they were going to need some incredible retro game features. One very nice touch was this excellent pair of matching Pac-Man mosaic tile floors in the restrooms. There's Ms. Pac-Man in the women's restroom and Pac-Man in the men's.

Mosaic: Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Rubik’s Cube Mosaic by Pete Fecteau
Created for the 2010 ArtPrize competition.
This mosaic is nineteen feet wide and took over forty hours to create. Given the man's life-long pursuit of the solution to the puzzle of peace, I think that it's a fitting tribute.
“The idea came to me to use them as an artistic media after seeing the formation of ArtPrize and wanting to compete with a unique idea. I say unique but there were others who had created Rubik’s Cube mosaic before me, namely the French street artist Invadr. I’m a fan of graffiti and street arts so I must have seen his work and stored it away in my subconsciousness. The real trick is controlling Photoshop to build the template while using color theory to make the image as clear and dynamic as possible.”

Sculpture: Ways Of Seeing
"Ways Of Seeing (Test)" by Joe Black, 2013.
15,000 Hand-painted test tubes, coated in resin and mounted on a dye-cut aluminum disc.
"Joe Black is known for making massive mosaic-like works based on popular imagery, using large quantities of manufactured miniature objects. Black, who is uncomfortable being called a professional artist, received his training in sculpture before working in illustration and commercial art. To make his works, Black says that he will use anything small and plentiful—ball bearings, Lego bricks, button pins, toy figurines—as long as it relates to the image. For example, his work Made in China (2011) depicts a famous 1938 portrait of a Chinese boy soldier, crafted from over 5,500 toy soldiers manufactured in China."

Installation: Kaleidoscopic Floor Art
Kaleidoscopic Floor Art by Dutch artist Suzan Drummen
Suzan Drummen creates large-scale, kaleidoscopic floor installations using
mirrors, crystals, metal, and pieces of brightly coloured glass arranged
in intricate circular patterns.
"The fractal-like arrangements feature ornate and elaborate circles growing exponentially out of each other and vibrant rings of spiraling colors winding into the surface of the floor. They are composed of crystals, chromed metal, precious stones, mirrors and optical glass. A sensory experience, and visually stimulating, the glittering installations play with the architecture of the space — climbing up walls and sweeping across the surfaces — examining the idea of illusion and optical effects."

Eschersketch is a fun online web-toy for making symmetry/tessellation drawings. It was created by the likably interesting brainiac, Anselm Levskaya with the tessellations of MC Escher in mind. On Twitter he says it is as yet unfinished.
Gizmodo has a great round up of do it yourself Iron Man suits from around the internet.
