Karen M. O’Leary is the name of the artist who designed these wrought street maps of different metropolises. While their size may vary depending on the size of the city, usually these maps are made from the same material, a thick white watercolor paper (90-100 lb., textured surface, rough edge) cut with an x-acto blade, a…

Dip your brush in water, now with a few creative moves make a ‘transparent’ drawing on the paper, then drip a few drops of ink at the edges: your drawing will come to life in an instant. Combine water-painting with a few drops of ink here and there and the result could be quite amazing….

Most often when we buy something, we want a product different from all the others, we simply expect more from it. So why shouldn’t the same apply for coffee? After all, we’re always looking for more than just its taste, we want it to be more than just a cup of coffee. Fortunately, the baristas…

Creatures made out of bones, paper collages, pieces of meat mating, dolls and plasticine – all this represents just 0,1% of Jan Svankmajer’s surrealist art. Bones, dolls and a very peculiar interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. This is how I could sum up Jan Svankmajer’s Alice. The rabbit hole to Wonderland has been closed but…

Sand is everywhere! In the desert, at the sea, in your shoes and lately, even in art galleries. And if it’s not everywhere, it’ll get everywhere.

California-based photographer Nick Presniakov presents an all-time famous antagonist of peace and virtue, seen from a frolic perspective. The project, named “The Dark Holiday”, is, however, unlike most of his other work, having a humorous approach. So here we have good old Vader in the train station, ready to say goodbye to all woes and…

I know that some persons can be quite creative but when I found these pictures I was pleasantly surprised to see that some are not just creative but they also manage to send a positive message through their art work: support sustainability.

Tokyo-based artist Ryo Shimizu decided to create an installation based on a Roman-letters reconstruction of the Chinese kanji characters. It speaks of “East meets West” in a stylish manner, given by its originality and its grandeur. “Cnjpus Text” is the third in a series of text-based installations that Shimizu has been making since 2009. The…
