EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY

Ever been inspired by cutlery? The idea for this photography/typography poster hopped into my brain one day as I was hunting around in my kitchen draws. Almost has a Christmas-festive feel yes? I was thinking maybe framing it as a Kitchen/Dining room print

SEA OF SHOES ART COMP

Jane from the infamous blog Sea of Shoes just held a fashion art comp, where she asked readers to send in their artistic interpretations of the Spring 2011 shows. I thought this was such a great idea and a good way to inspire some more 'arty-ness' in the blogosphere. Below is the sketch I sent in (pencil sketch digitally coloured), however I don't know if I made the cut off date in time! oh well, it was a good push for me to get something on paper! Take a look at the flickr gallery of entries so far, and I'll get back to you on whether my entry was seen or not :)

I HEART ART : ALBERTO SEVESO

Entitled 'Medicina Rossa' (red) and 'Sequence' (blue) these amazing shots are photographs of ink being poured into a fishbowl and capturing the reaction to water. Created by an Italian artist; Alverto Seveso, who's work has been labeled fantastic and 'mind blowing', I think they have a haunting almost ethereal feel to them don't you? very cool...seen via Trendland
