Pen and Ink Drawings on Vintage Books by Loui Jover
Over at My Moderne Metropolis I came across the Australia-based artist Loui Jover who creates striking pen and ink drawings on pages of vintage books. Jover has drawn since childhood and as other children stopped at some point in their development he never did. Instead he draws obsessively every single day filling books with ideas,...
‘Matchstick Men’ by Wolfgang Stiller
‘Matchstick Men’ by Wolfgang Stiller is a series of giant matchsticks created of thick pieces of lumber. The distinct shapes were formed with head molds that the artist had laying around his studio, and they are meant to look as if they simply emerged in the wood after burning each flammable tip. Wolfgang Stiller will be...

Over at Colossal I came across the talented artist Yao Lu who creates images of traditional Chinese Landscapes, but the scenes are actually composed of photographs of landfills and other signs of urbanisation covered in protective green mesh. (Via Colossal)

Wooden Sculptures by Gehard Demetz
Italian artist Gehard Demetz creates incredible wooden sculptures. I’ve seen some surreal sculptures before, but nothing like these made of wood. His sculptures of children are both attractive and disquieting at the same time and rendered with an amazing perfection. One of the most startling technical features is the construction using small woodblocks and juxtaposing...
Hyperrealistic Sculptures by Ron Mueck
While many artists strive to glamorize, and portray our world to be better than it actually is, others simply find art in our ordinary lives and our simple bodies. London-based artist Ron Mueck is one of those artists, and is now well known for his hyperrealistic sculptures where he portrays humans at key stages in the...
Strange Beauties by Jen Mann
I love the work of Toronto painter Jen Mann from the series titled “Strange Beauties“! Inspired by the circus, illusions, dreams and the innocence and playfulness of childhood, these strange beauties are saturated, eye candy explorations in the odd and the beautiful.”
Celebrity Works by Maurizio Galimberti
Photographer Maurizio Galimberti is a master of the Polaroid picture. In his series entitled “Celebrity Works” Galimberti develops unique celebrity portraits that feature grid-like arrangements of photographs. These mosaic compositions of famous faces are poetic expressions of the artist’s vision, in which he redefines the typical expectation of a photographic portrait. Galimberti describes the process...
‘Mirrors’ by Tracy Griffin
Photographer Tracy Griffin and her series ‘Mirrors’ is about seeing something completely different in the ordinary. Therefore she created a brand new synthesis, mirroring various objects like hair, trees and other structures found in nature. Working on this project for four years, Griffin has learned that exact symmetry cannot be found in nature and allegedly...
Papersky by Florian Mueller
I’m in love with the series “Papersky” by the German and very talented photographer Florian Mueller. The sky is changing. Constantly. As if it was never satisfied with it’s design, it’s color, the shape and texture of the clouds. Like a writer who is never satisfied with his sentences, words and ideas. Throwing away more...

Over at Designtaxi I came across American artist Craig Alan who creates giant portraits of pop-culture icons using people as pixels. Some of his famous pieces include Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and John F. Kennedy. Enjoy.
‘The Sum of All Evil’ by Jake and Dinos Chapman
London-based artists Jake and Dinos Chapman and their latest piece ‘The Sum of All Evil’ speculate on central themes such as the holocaust, violence, and death. The highly detailed, meticulously crafted miniature landscape is made up of four dioramas referencing significant historical events – including the discovery in Babi Yar (1941) – the ukrainian mass...
