Remember Su Blackwell’s artistic books? When I first saw them I almost fell in love; they contain two of the things I personally couldn’t live without: books and art. And lately, her art seeped even in advertising. Photo from Wonderful Photos She started out by cutting out characters from old books and creating dioramas. But…
Certainly you are more than familiar with the theme song of the well-known game Super Mario. Now it’s time to get familiar with the works of some plastic artists that were inspired by the game’s popularity and created some rather interesting things. I found some interesting earrings representing Piranha Plants from Super Mario, and to…

Standard maps are not that interesting anymore and that’s why these extremely creative people – photographers, designers or random people with a vast imagination – decided to give world maps a new twist.

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. Remember that Animal Planet once had this type of sand painting advertising? Well, the concept of sand painting wasn’t made to be advertising, but a manifestation of artistic spirit….
Has anyone seen Art? Somewhere in the life of Holton Rower, it ran away from the canvas and decided to become a fluid form of sculpture. If someone finds it, please return it to the Lost and Found section of the galleries of this artist. I must confess I watched this short movie at least…
