EPOS257’s orghoi khorkhoi death worm made it to prague – all the way from the gobi desert, where it is from. interesting installation.

amazing, morbid artwork by kris kuksi

Posted on | June 4, 2009 | No Comments

check out these amazingly detailed sculptures done by kris kuksi. born in 1973 in springfield missouri. growing up in kansas he spent his youth in rural seclusion and isolation along with a blue-collar, working mother, two much-older brothers and an absent father. open country, sparse trees, and alcoholic stepfather, perhaps paved the way for an individual saturated in imagination and introversion. no shit!

200 gallon water tank landscape photography

Posted on | May 20, 2009 | No Comments

pretty cool and definitely a different kind of landscape photography. the artist kim keever’s large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing miniature topographies in a 200-gallon tank, which is then filled with water. these dioramas of fictitious environments are brought to life with colored lights and the dispersal of pigment, producing ephemeral atmospheres that he quickly captures with his large-format camera.

heiko klug

Posted on | May 9, 2009 | No Comments

it seems like this decade will be visually recognized for a mix of illustrative fantastic hyper realism computer illustration. there is a whole generation of 20-somethings that illustrates the hell out of their computers. a lot of them fall into the same sort of style bucket. heiko klug’s work sticks out a bit and is quite interesting. check out his portfolio jesar-one.com

plastic bags like silk dresses

Posted on | May 3, 2009 | No Comments

wow, take a look at how poetic these prints look like, almost as if they were a modern still-life painting. the chinese artist huang xu takes shreds of used plastic bags and makes 3d scans, then takes the scan data and turns them into 3d models, illuminates them and makes prints of it. pretty amazing if you think about turning one of the cheapest products on earth, a simple plastic bag into a silk dress impression – a metaphor of the old and new china.

chalk animation for firekites autumn story

Posted on | May 1, 2009 | 1 Comment

this is nicely done but what i like a bit better in blu’s first chalk, stop-motion drawings (click here) is that blu integrated, in a very interesting and surprising way, more of the real environment. it was a play between fiction and reality, less here so, still cool.

japanese topography

check out these amazing topography images of japanese landscapes done by hajime ishikawa. think they are beautiful and poetic in a very simple and graphical way. i am amazed, not that i’d be into topography that much but i’d definitely hang these up on my walls.

LA glas tower

Posted on | April 24, 2009 | No Comments

“the glass tower by eric owen moss architects is posed to be encourage a re-development in south central los angeles. the building has been in planning since the nineties but was stalled for some years until it was re-designed in 2006 as a single tower. a rail line installed nearby spurred the redesign. the structure is part of the redevelopment of south central LA, an area plagued with poverty and violence for many years. the project was originally conceived of with a structural strategy, consisting of curvilinear ribbons wrapping two main volumes.”

john pasche’s poster design for the rolling stones european and american tour. what is it that this old stuff often looks so cool? i don’t know, maybe because there is some timeless coolness out there.

memento mori & more

Posted on | April 17, 2009 | No Comments

this painting from mac & retna is called “memento mori” and is a latin phrase for “be mindful of death” and can be translated as “remember that you are mortal” or “remember that you must die”. that could seem a little grim, but the point is really to encourage us to properly value and make the most of our time here. like it!
