This series of tableware would definitely be on my wishlist if I wasn't still skipping my way across the world every couple of years. David Shrigley, Turner prize nominated and Fourth Plinth commissioned British artist, designed his first ceramics collection for the Gallery at Sketch in London as part of the restaurant's program of artist collaborations. "I'm delighted to be working . . .
Surrealism
Obsession of the day - photographs with a pinch of magic, dreams and surrealism. In a period of time where Photoshop skills run rampant, Ukraine-based photographer Oleg Oprisco's work stands out from the crowd as they are not actually artificial digital manipulations. Say what?! We have no idea how, but Oprisco carefully plans out each of these scenes and shoots them on his old-school film . . .
Masked Beauty
"Dia de Los Muertos" was typed in my Google search bar for many days leading up to Halloween, and ideas swirled around...but nothing like this. You may have heard of the Mexican Day of the Dead festival with their masks and way too much facepaint - Rankin and Hunger’s Beauty Editor-At-Large Andrew Gallimore used it as an inspiration to create this absolutely stunning beauty editorial. A fresh . . .
Random Word Doodles
Sydney-based concept artist and illustrator Charles Santoso decided to start a project called Random Word Doodles to strengthen his brain muscles. What you can do is to give him a word via his Twitter feed, he picks one and does one of his adorable illustrations. Each one takes around 30 minutes to an hour and a half, done digitally via Photoshop. Which is your favourite? I'm voting for . . .
Paper Fun
Illustrations with paper and collage have always impressed me - the effort taken to cut each of those layers of paper to create and illusion of depth and shadows. Estonian illustrator and graphics designer, Eiko Ojala, does just this with his work... He studies the forms of shapes and works closely with light and shadow, keeping his illustrations minimal and well-advised. According to his . . .
Penny Drawings
How would you like to put the Wild West in your pocket? San Diego-based artist Sam Larson makes that possible with his tiny illustrations that depict scenes inspired by the American West, no bigger than a penny. Larson’s illustrations feature cowboys, mountain ranges, forest scenes, wildlife, and more - posted on his Instagram feed every night. How does one even draw that in that . . .
Dancing with Flour
So you imagine a little toddler who found an open drawer (bad idea), pulls out the bag of flour, proceeds to throw it around, and shuffles around in it a little. Dancing with flour. But no. As adorable as that might sound, French photographer Ludovic Florent trumps it with his photographic series titled Poussière d’étoiles. Dancers are shown in their full glory by adding flour to showcase the . . .
Beauty in Feathers
Feathers and plumage used in fashion are being celebrated at an exhibition in Antwerp's Mode Museum, showcasing garments from designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and Thierry Mugler. From haute couture to mixed media art by Kate McGuire, this exhibition definitely looks like one to visit. It will be on till 24 August 2014. "Ever since I was a child I have . . .
Painted Faces
Okay, so what do you see...a couple of painted faces, no big deal. Something that you'd easily see at a children's fair. Much simpler than what they do over there at the World Bodypainting Festival (AMAZING, see my post on it here). Now here's the good part: Yes indeed. The previous images were not actually photographs but instead, hyper realistic oil paintings by Eloy Morales, a Spanish . . .
Defying Gravity
No, not the great song from the even greater musical, Wicked. I’m referring to another act of science in this case. Colarado-based land artist Michael Grab patiently stacks pieces of rocks in his free time to create a whole bunch of gravity-defying rock structures. Not exactly sure how he manages these, but his series “Gravity Glue” is quite the feat I’d say. "If not observed carefully, one small . . .
