These billiard balls are designed after some of the most popular emoticons.
In an art project called 'Poolmoji,' artist Jean-Baptiste Le Divelec created these miniature sculptures that form billiard balls. With emoticons such as the crying face, the "cool" face, the laughing face, the alarmed face and the emoticon with hearts for eyes, these billiard balls would make the popular game of pool that much more interesting. By bringing the game to another level with these designs, the process of playing pool with these balls almost seems animated.
By cleverly combining a modern-day craze with two mediums -- art and a popular game -- this artist brings the game of pool to life with his designs.
