Huffington Post Arts Presents The Week in Review

The Week In Art: Arty Music Videos, Tom Hanks Meets Banksy, and Paparazzi Portraits (PHOTOS)

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! We hope you're going to do something scary and fun tonight in honor of Jason Voorhees.

This week at HuffPost Arts we couldn't stop watching these arty music videos, and then went to sleep upon hearing this not-sober lullaby.

After that, we laughed over the incredible union of Tom Hanks and Banksy. We also saw Richard Mosse's unbelievable infrared photographs of Congolese inhabiting a purple-toned world. And our post on Renaissance Portraits of Modern Day Celebrities made us wonder what Sean Connery would be like if he was born in the Middle Ages.

You can see a slideshow of our week below. Tell us what your favorite moments were in the comments section!

It's hard to count sheep when you've lost count of how much you drank. Check out the not-sober lullaby, a surprisingly coherent melody written while the composer was drunk.

These stunning infra photos of Congo make moss crimson and soldiers' uniforms lavender. They are eye-opening and eye-pleasing all at once.

This genius combo mixes up two things we love: Banksy and Tom Hanks. The result is Hanksy, a smart street art spoof that makes us chortle time and time again.
