Yosuke Ueno comes from Japan but might be from another planet. His themes are very cosmic and he's also known as SpaceEgg77. His palette of colors is otherworldly and his themes range from Anne Frank looking down on earth from the heavens to cosmic ducks and magic mushrooms.

Japanese-born, Berlin-based Chiharu Shiota creates beautiful, and at times difficult, installations and full-on scenes. A lot of the work involves beds and other everyday objects. In one rather striking piece, she has taken hospital beds and arranged them to lift as if to the heavens. More after the jump . . .

Mexican artist, Saner, aka Edgar Flores, has two new prints, "Free Souls," released with London's Pictures On Walls, available in two color options. As POW notes, "[Saner's] obsession with masks apparently dates from childhood experiences taking part in traditional masked dances in Oaxaca." Big look after the jump . . .

This made our morning. A lot of people have sent these images to us over the past 24 hours, done by graffiti artist, Typoe. The piece, titled, "Confetti Death," was part of a larger series of really interesting conceptual pieces that Typoe created earlier this year. But this was the standout. More after the jump . . .

But we do know that he'd be stoked his Thrasher and Juxtapoz creations are still charging full-steam, and that you are all part of it.
