Now here’s something I thought I’d never see: alcohol served in milk cartons! Artist Jorn made beverage cartons for popular alcohol brands, like Absolut Vodka and Jack Daniel's, and the result is quite funny. With the name
Ecohols, this series shows us that packaging is quite important. Though the point is to bring to light the importance of brands, I can't help but think of an alternate…

Korean sculptor Yong Ho Ji has mastered a medium most artists wouldn't even dare think about using....tires.
