Because sometimes you got to go back in time to cheer up a little…

Li Xiaofeng creates stunning wearable sculptures made of blue and white porcelain fragments of cups, plates and saucers. There is something really beautiful about the delicate nature of the china itself, broken into segments to create these wearable sculptures, which apparently contain fragments from the Ming, Qing and Song dynasties.

Just came across this fantastic artist; Daniel O’Toole known also by the name Ears.

I am so uncontrollably excited about the upcoming Alice in wonderland movie that I almost feel like jumping up and down with joy! Not only is it in my top 5 books of all time, of which I own over 20 copies by different illustrators, it’s created by Tim Burton and it stars Johnny Depp. What more could you want?

I love this one, don’t forget to read the label. See more…

I have a slight obsession with clouds, I really love them. The transient nature which changes every second, the turbulence and drama of a thunderstorm and the phenomenal awe inspiring beauty of the setting sun.

I have a particular fondness for the fluffy ones that float in the endless blue sky like suspended cotton wool balls. I’ve taken countless photographs of them, and as most of us did when we were children imagined a vast array of floating creatures including great floating dragons and winged elephants whist we laid on the grass looking up at the vastness that surrounds us.

It seems that Tara Donovan shares a similar fascination with clouds, she has created a clever and amazing cloud landscape made of polystyrene cups, which I wish I could see in the flesh rather than online.

Just stumbled across a very nice site with some great photographs. Now I’m all inspired for my upcoming trip to New Zealand!!

I have a deep fascination and admiration for graffiti art. Partly because of the un-presciousness nature of the art itself that is left orphaned to the elements of nature and urbanism, as well as the process itself; that is filled with risk and no doubt a fair amount of adrenalin.

Recently the ABC screened a doco called guerilla art that featured some awesome artists including a couple of Brazilian twins Os Gemeos who work together to create some of the best and most interesting graffiti that I have ever seen. I’ve just spent the last half hour visually devouring their work on their website.

Blek le Rat is also worth mentioning; apparently he is known as the pioneer of stencil art, who started out as a traditional graffiti artist. One of the things I really like about stencil art is the way in which the same piece of art can take on new meanings when its set in different locations

After a few weeks of blood, sweat and near tears of trying to create this little monster whilst working on our other client work, our Ful-vue earth-conscious ecard for 2009 finally came together and has now been sent off! No thanks to restricted hosting environments and incompatible php files ahhh!!!
Perhaps next year I’ll be earth-conscious by sending out cards on recycled paper! I’m pretty sure that would have been less stress and less $.

Anyway here it is enjoy and share the colour!
