City for Birds is what it sounds like: an artificial city model built on a giant plane tree made by two artists, Tibor Árki and Gergely Kovács, in Miskolc, a city in Hungary. The witty installation includes blockhouses, various shops, beauty salons, a prison and other characteristic types of buildings, all in bird scale. Among the buildings, the artists also placed fake advertisements, addressed to birds, as a critique of urban existence in the 21st century. Read more
New Art / New work by Nu Ryu
January 26, 2012 | New Art | by Nu Ryu |
I see nature as the origin of harmony and communication, and animals as messengers to nature for mankind who is lost. I act as a translator and storyteller between different creatures and the world. I capture each moment of my understanding, the interaction between humans and nature, and I directly transform it onto the canvas. Read more

The term ‘painting with light‘ can encompass many different types of art, but this is a new twist on the idea of making art with light and shadow. Read more

These two pocket-sized books for monster lovers and zombie maniacs, published by Peter Pauper Press, were both illustrated by the amazing artist Bruce Waldman. Waldman has captured the most exciting expression of western monsters and eastern zombies in his speedy hand-drawing and watercolors. He is famous for his etchings and monoprints.

Using body paints, costumes, make-up and endless patience, Peruvian-born artist Cecilia Paredes camouflages herself into the backgrounds of her photographic performance pieces. In her desire to blend with, and become one with, the landscape around her, she is recalling themes of relocation, displacement and migration. Read more

Clara Besijelle is a Swedish illustrator. She wonderfully mixes art deco type details, fabric prints, and pompus facial expressions with scruffy colouring in. Her style of drawing works well with her story-telling, which is awkward, sophisticated and hilarious. The comic, Good-bye and Wedding Day, is a perfect introduction to her work. Read more
New Art / Curious every day items by Nancy Fouts
January 25, 2012 | New Art | by Nini Baseema |
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

Round trip: Art from the Bone Yard Project was conceived by Eric Firestone. The Bone Yard Project resurrects disused airplanes from America’s military history, taking entire airplanes and their elements out of aeronautic resting spots in the desert, known as ‘bone yards’, and putting them into the hands of contemporary artists.

New Art / Korin Faught
January 24, 2012 | New Art | by Mary Chiaramonte |
I can often be caught gazing at other figurative artist’s work, but this lady’s paintings are quite spellbinding. Her haunting images hold fast in your mind. And not only does she paint, she designs and sews her model’s costumes to boot. Read more

These paintings I’m working on lately are part of the mosaic series which are my progression of street art. I like to use different background elements that mimic the variety of textures you get on city walls and buildings. All imagery comes from the sacredness of youth. Read more

One of my favorite artist right now is Bill Dunlap, whom I’ve posted about before. For a lot of the reasons I love Dunlap’s work, I’m really into Robert Hardgrave’s drawings and paintings. Read more

Shane McAdams makes his ballpoint pen paintings by breaking open pens and smearing the ink from inside onto resin panels, which he then takes to the tanning salon to get a UV light treatment. Read more
New Art / Spiritual art by Saudade J. Gypsybird
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Louise Mills from Frogg |
Artworks created by Saudade are ‘inspired by the longing for ancient wisdom and inner strength’. Saudade reels out the real emotion in me. Her images burst with statements of a sacred nature.
New Art / Krista Wortendyke
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Whee! The people over at Triangulation Blog just posted about my high school friend Krista Wortendyke, who deals with media disseminated experiences of war and violence in her conceptual and collaged photographs. I posted about her before, but she’s got a lot of new stuff up on her website. Read more
Diamond Select Toys is about to release some pretty cool 7-inch action figures of Lily, Grandpa, and Herman Munster from the 50s TV show The Munsters. I hope they release an Eddie Munster soon.
I’m sure lots of people can relate to this blog, which documents the crazy, retarded, offensive, and just plain awkward messages people send on dating site OKCupid.
How old must Kermit be now? Not to old to collaborate with skater-friendly retailer Supreme and photographer Terry Richardson. Kermit, who usually wears nothing, has been hooked up with some new threads to advertise the brand. It seems Kermit and Terry are the perfect work partners: they’ve even released a video clip documenting the shoot.

Those old issues of Popular Mechanics that forecasted the wondrous technological developments of tomorrow now seem dated and more representative of the times in which they were published than the times they tried to predict. Read more
Chicago’s Cheer Accident started as a post-no-wave weirdo band typical of the Skin Graft roster, but of late, they’ve been doing some unrestrained pop and rock. They even have harmonized vocals and an occasional horn. This isn’t to say they’re commercializing – their songs are just as complex as ever, and there’s still a hint of discordance beneath the shimmering new sound.

Drawing upon both the traditional and the classically abstract ideals of tie design, the Sovereign Beck line of neckwear was created in limited quantity: bias cut and hand stitched in New York City. There are just 75 pieces per design.

Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect. Read more
