If there is such a thing as a collective unconscious world, then the octopus is spooking around in there for quite a while now. The amount of weird squid photos and drawings I have seen in the past twelve months surely is amazing. Read more

Some people paint with acryllic paint, others use oil, and then there are people that simply take what’s left of their day to day beverage and create beautiful art with it. At least, that’s what Red Hong did. She claims that her project took about twelve hours to finish. I wonder how many cups of coffee she had in the process? Read more

Man with a Movie Camera is an experimental 1929 silent documentary film that I find quite inspiring. It was created by Russian director Dziga Vertov. It features scenes of urban life in Odessa and other Soviet cities. What’s not typical for a silent movie of that time is that it contains neither story, nor specific actors. The film is famous for the range of cinematic techniques Vertov invents, deploys or develops: such as double exposure, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frames, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, footage played backwards, and so on. Vertov certainly was way ahead of his time.

The ‘seven deadly sins’ is a classical topic for an artist, it seems. As a fan of the Renaissance, I tend to prefer the traditional interpretation. However, Christian Montenegro, an illustrator from Buenos Aires, has come up with an interesting modernist version. Read more

Love Locks appear in a few places around the world, and this is a short film about the locks on Ponte Milvio, one of the oldest bridges in Rome.

Breakdance and skateboarding are from yesteryear: Hockern is the new trend sport on the streets these days. The origins of Hockern can be traced back to the German coast city of Kiel, where people with too much time on their hands and not much interest in breaking their bones invented a few tricks that have since spread around the world. Hockern loosely translates into ‘stooling’, although the more appropriate expression for it would be ‘extreme sitting’. The actual activitiy can be described as simply as this: ‘Just grab a stool and rock it like a hockstar!’

Nancy Fouts has made it her goal to combine every day items in an evocative way. Somehow her creations seem to blend in and only at second glance you realize what’s strange about them. I am a particular big fan of her purse with teeth and the sewing machine record player. Read more

Chan Hween Chong, an art director based in Germany, has redrawn some of the world’s most famous portraits. What’s special about it, though, is that he managed to do so with a black marker drawing one giant outward spiral. An amazing accomplishment, especially considering the fact that one single error means that the entire portrait is ruined.

Jim Denevan makes temporary drawings on sand, earth and ice that are eventually erased by waves and weather. It reminds me a bit on the mandalas that buddhist monks draw in the sand and which are also erased. There is something eternally touching about beauty and transience. Read more
