Artists want to be remembered for their work. Usually, they create permanent pieces which bear their name so that people can recognize and remember them. So which artist would spend effort and creativity into building something that is just temporary? Fact is that there are plenty of artists out there whose works are not meant…

After a series of unusual materials used to create works of art, I thought to myself that I settle down a bit and write about some paintings. Nothing exceptional so far. So I set out on a journey through the world wide web searching for something classic. And I found something less settling than what…

Photos they did have 100 years ago in Russia too. But to manage to see ordinary peasants’ cheeks blush and how their clothes were really so colourful, it makes you realize how flawed our vision of the past has become due to the limitations of black & white technology.

Brian Dettmer makes a living with the knife, tweezers and surgical tools by performing minute but precise incisions into books. ‘The Book Surgeon’ is a nickname he acquired due to the nature of his works of art: amazing book sculptures. Unlike other artists that use fiction books to create their works, he only uses predominantly…

It’s well known that dogs like to stick their head out the car window and experience the wind pushing all those odors in their nose. Humans might like that too, like Ace Ventura did, but only dogs experience pure ecstasy from it. And while almost any other animal would be scared of this, or not…

Remember the times when you used to go to the seaside and build sandcastles? Of course you did that when you were children, but some people although grown up haven’t grow out of sand castles. Some of those people have turned that into a hobby and others into a profession. And since they are so…
