Adam Beane - Sculpture Artist

I’ve never really thought about how carefully crafted toys were, and how tedious sculpting each piece would be til I came across the works of Adam Beane. His pieces are not only dynamic in expression but amazingly realistic.

Infographics: Maps

I’m really getting into infographics.. there’s just something about converting information into visual communication and facilitating the absorption of that info.

I found a blog with a bunch of examples - a wealth of information & graphic design eye candy!

This is pretty creative?

Not endorsing, but someone randomly showed me this website:

It’s a portable toilet from The Brown Corporation. Oh, it’s just… interesting.. creative idea?

Koren Shadmi - illustrator

I first stumbled upon Koren Shadmi’s comic book at a comic book store in Paris. Little did I know that his comic book was translated.. and that he was an amazing illustrator with strong concepts. Here’s a glimpse at his work.

 

 

P.S: If you’re into really strange.. twisted (with a hint of dark themes), then In The Flesh is something you should check out.

 

 A bit random, but the French version of In The Flesh is slightly different than the English one. My friend picked up a copy and there were the odd 1 or two comic that were different from each other

Ah - I think it’s due for an update (forgive me, art school is getting hectic and crazy busy).

Guerra De La Paz - Installation Art

Guerra de la Paz is an art collective, formed by Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz - Cuban artists who are currently residing/working in Miami, Florida.

They work with found objects, transforming them into a whole new form and structure through compiling them together. These art pieces are then brought to life, filled with their politically driven artwork.

Banksy: Vandalism or Appropriation?

Vandalism: Destructing someone else’s property
Appropriation: Taking an artwork and building on it to change it’s meaning or borrowing it’s idea/aspects - transforming it into another piece of art

Food for thought: Is Banksy’s work considered as Vandalism or Appropriation? He has defaced a couple of artworks in galleries, sending his messages out to viewers.. For those who are unfamiliar, Banksy is a street artist with worths that have strong underlinings of social issues, culture and ethics.

“Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don’t need an education to understand it and there’s no admission fee.” - Banksy

“When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.” - Banksy

“The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little. ” - Banksy

…an artist worth exploring.
