These lights defy description, and I love that. They aren't traditional sculptures, they aren't quite lamps, or steampunk, or modern. They are all of that in one. They are incredible, handcrafted art each made of up to 200 individual steel and brass parts. They are "Machine Lights."

It always amazes me how creative Star Wars fans can be. I'm really not sure if there is another franchise that gets as much fan love. Today's masterpieces are Star Wars posters created by the talented Arian Noveir. His technique? Illustrations that look like they were made with paint splatters.

Zhao Huasen isn't a magician and he definitely didn't invent any magical invisible paint. The artist uses clever photo manipulation tricks to "erase" the bicycles from this set of photos, making people seem like they're riding on air.
