Here’s a picture of Chris’s latest creation. It might look a little chaotic – with too many things around, difficult to see what’s up and down – but its not. Everything is meticulously taken care of, actually a good metaphor of our lives.

pour créatifs-curieux, une soirée “démo et présentation” où créateurs de tous les domaines peuvent venir présenter leurs projets, à voir demain soir.

As explained last week, this picture is part of the wonderful On my desk project – did you blogged yours?

Stunning photos by visual artist Desiree Palmen.

If you are as inspired as i am by seeing artists spaces, you’ll enjoy your time on the flickr group ‘In the Studio‘. Many images, somes of chaos, somes of order, will wake-up your creative self 😉

Call me crazy, but i just felt in love with these twisted creatures – another intriguing Etsy find.

For those who have not seen it yet, Chris has put online a new portfolio of his latest work. We are currently looking for ways to promote his work, and to find a place or a gallery for him to make a first solo show this year. The image above is a sculpture which will… Continue reading Chris’s work

No, unfortunately this beautiful artwork at the left of the picture is not from me! It is from an artist in New York and its called the ‘Dappled Horse‘.

Improv Everywhere has about 70 mobilization missions (mob). Some are really amazing, such as the one where thousands of people took off their pants on subways in 10 cities around the world at the same time (!), and a mob where hundreds of people played simultaneously the same song on their mp3 players. Watch their… Continue reading Frozen Mobilization

This photo is for you to daydream. It was created by Austrian architect and artist Hundertwasser and it is called Waldspirale (translated it means “spiral forest“).

One cool way to relax after a hard day of paper work (!) is to virtually overfill a shopping cart on Etsy. At least, that’s something i like to do, and etsy is perfect to grab all kinds of goodies and art to fill-your-cart-till-you-drop. By the time i reach the counter to pay, the compulsive… Continue reading Etsy Naughty

Today’s flickr find, by a spanish artist.

Some more discoveries, this time from Etsy. A little research on ElasticCo, from whom i bought the beautiful flower hat. This was an interesting discovery following my Adieu Madonna entry – i must say, i’d rather wear elasticCo’s stuffed accessories and become a living sculpture than having my body modified by surgery : “… Elodie… Continue reading Artsy, fake fat

Delicate Boundaries, a work by Chris Sugrue, uses human touch to dissolve the barrier of the computer screen. Using the body as a means of exchange, the system explores the subtle boundaries that exist between foreign systems and what it might mean to cross them. Lifelike digital animations swarm out of their virtual confinement onto… Continue reading our bodies as landscape for digital life to explore

I believe that by viewing art, people are brought back to a sensibility they once had. Most of them closed the door to this sensibility because it’s just too painful to live with. So they sit, and watch, while others do art. Here is some 3d street art by Mark Jenkins (via Stefan). Also, his… Continue reading Mark Jenkins

The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths. Bruce Nauman * The first thing i saw entering the Museum of Contemporary Art were some flashy bright colored neon words – similar to what i have been playing around with my stencil in the last 3 weeks. Stunning. Later on, came around more words,… Continue reading Bruce Nauman, I love neon
