Yigal Ozeri’s photorealistic paintings
Israeli-artist Yigal Ozeri’s provocative photo-realistic paintings of young women in nature look like a large format photographs, but are actually the work of minute brushstrokes laced together. Inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, the paintings are exotic portraits of woman enraptured by nature, caught in the lens of the artist’s eye. Ozeri’s inspiration lies in Carl Jung’s concept of the Anima, the psychology of the female’s true inner self. Read more

Creative advertising packaging
Despite the intentions of many, it’s not so often that advertising — as an industry — truly thinks outside the box. Yet, when executed well, clever eye-catching advertising actually works. It does. As these examples will attest to. Read more

I find this kind of work dull, dull, dull. It’s basically a contrived doodle that has been coloured in without going over the lines. Extremely Light on content and a line produced by a computer is as dead as the Jacobean ruff. Come on stop being so lazy.

Hmm I think the idea of this art IS to be almost lazy and incomplete.
Thats really what I like about it. I think you should keep your negativity to yourself.

Also, Lew thankyou for the information – expect a purchase from me soon!

” find this kind of work dull, dull, dull. It’s basically a contrived doodle that has been coloured in without going over the lines. Extremely Light on content and a line produced by a computer is as dead as the Jacobean ruff. Come on stop being so lazy”
its drawn by hand then scanned into a PC. I dont do drafts before it just comes out like that, so its not really contrived. if colouring without going over the lines is an error, then its one I’m happy making on a regular basis. It is lazy and incomplete in that i havent sat and plotted for days what im going to draw. its just me blasting onto a page in an hour or two all the things my hand wants to draw in that particular moment, it’s not like I’ve spent hours thinking this picture needs this or that. which is lazy, but definately not contrived.
I was wearing a jacobian ruff whilst drawing it though so…
maybe you should look at my other pieces to get a broader picture:-

That is okay..
Personally I prefer art like this – in the sense that its explosive and chaotic – a bit like my self!

Skateboarding is fun. I know this because we have one in our apartment which we use to cruise across the polished floorboards to get from room to room. Though I should acknowledge at this point that I use the term ‘cruise’ liberally. Read more
Now, c’mon, if you had the chance to lay a clever one liner on William Shatner, you would, right? Yeah. If you could look him in the eyes, gently brush his laser gun out of your face, and unleash that killer put down that you’ve had swirling around the deepest cavaties of your subconcious ever since episode six of the fourth series, you’d grab it with both hands and offer up a thanks to those strange looking alien creatures who rule our universe. Well, guess what? You can. And while you’re at it, why don’t you give Dustin Diamond an ear full, too. Ah, the joys of unrequited paybacks.
