Amazing Art Works Based On Children’s Drawings: “The photos you are about to see are part of the ‘The Monster Engine Project‘, created by Dave DeVries. It includes a book, a demonstration, lecture and a gallery exhibition.

The Monster Engine is based on the idea of creating realistic paintings from children’s drawings. It all turned out to be a great success and an innovative concept. Sometimes artists just happen to get to one point where their imagination stops. But not children. “

Secret Life of Cities (Urban Illustrations) | Golberz.Com: “Discover the work of Sandrine Estrade Boulet, an French artist greatly inspired by her urban environment while creating interresting photo manipulations. She sees the world from her own unique and quirky imagination. Great!”

One million Buddhist beers on the wall, one million Buddhist beers…. | greenopolis recycling rewards: “Came across a very cool story on Ecoscraps today. Turns out that in the 1960’s (remember the 1960’s? If you can, you weren’t really there), the head of Heineken Brewery, Alfred Heineken was vacationing in the Caribbean. He saw beaches littered with beer bottles (including some of his) and a lack of affordable housing. His solution? Make beer bottles in the shape of interlocking bricks.”

V Chairs (by @baekdal) #design: “Verikon Furniture has created 2 somewhat unique chairs – the Shelley and the Lobster. In some way it draws it inspiration from the Famous ‘?gget by Arne Jacobsen’, but it is still so different that they are unique in their own rights.

The designers are currently making a footstool and a sidetable to go with the chairs. And, they will be available in selected stores by mid-march”

making buildings in foamboard: “Emmanuel Nouaillier shows how to scratch build and age miniature structures. This is will introduce my personal approach and techniques for scratch building and ageing buildings, pertaining to the typical northern French urban landscape of the 1940s and early 50s.

I believe that a proper rendition of textures and adequate weathering of the different elements is important when making a miniature scene, where the optimal development of each small detail of a diorama becomes more a necessity to modellers who want to show, with utmost realism, models that are better detailed and weathered I will explain stage by stage in future articles how to create peculiar materials and elements and how to give the models ‘life’ while employing generic methods. “

Banksy: The World’s Most Famous Graffiti Artist | Smosh: “Banksy has struggled for years to maintain anonymity and hide his identity from those who view his art. He creates works around the world that are full of pranks, hype and thoughtful messages. Those messages can range from the very silly to the emotionally deep. But his identity has remained a mystery. People are always claiming to know who Banksy really is.

His latest project, the documentary ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop,’ opened nationally and was a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

What’s all the hype about? Check out some of Banksy’s art and you decide…

An Andalusian Dog (Un chien andalou) (1929): “Description: In a dream-like sequence, a woman’s eye is slit open–juxtaposed with a similarly shaped cloud obsucuring the moon moving in the same direction as the knife through the eye–to grab the audience’s attention. The French phrase ‘ants in the palms,’ (which means that someone is ‘itching’ to kill) is shown literally.

A man pulls a piano along with the tablets of the Ten Commandments and a dead donkey towards the woman he’s itching to kill. A shot of differently striped objects is repeatedly used to connect scenes. … (more) (less) “

Mugshots: All Celebs | The Smoking Gun: “Without the aid of fancy lighting, makeup, and wardrobe, these works of mug shot art–taken by countless clerks, cops, and sheriff’s deputies nationwide–are likely the most candid photos of celebrities that you’ll ever see.”

The art of cutting leaves by Nature’s Art :: koikoikoi.com – Visual Arts Magazine, graphic design, illustration, photography, interviews, inspiration, tutorials: “These are leaf cut out illustrations by Nature’s Art from China.

Natural leaf carving is actual manual cutting and removal of a leaf’s surface to produce an art work on a leaf.

The process of carving is performed by artists using tools to carefully remove the surface without cutting or removing the veins. The veins add detail into the subject matter of the carving. The material or most common leaf used in leaf carving is the leaf of a Chinar tree. The Chinar tree is native to India, Pakistan and China. Chinar leaves have a close resemblance to maple leaves.”
