Daito Manabe, a Japanese artist and programmer suffers for his art in his latest project: the catchily named “electric stimulus to face - test 3.″ Via a range of strategically placed electrodes, Manabe’s face is made to twitch in time with one of his own digital compositions.

Dig these “white collar tattoos” by Heward Dental Lab. In their words:

We at Heward Dental Lab have been in the Crown and Bridge business for over 30 years. We have found that there is a lack of true artists in our industry.

Amen.

Here’s a little something to help pass the time…

Super Mario Obama World is yet another Barack Obama inspired creation - of wacky proportions. Conquer “The Real America” or “The Bridge to Nowhere” while amassing American flags and stomping out corporate pigs.

Get your game on.
