Morning dreams II" by ibrahim canakci. Gorgeous Bird Paintings by Adam S. Doyle. Artist Adam S. Doyle who recently relocated to Hong Kong creates beautiful gestural paintings of birds, where the seemingly incomplete brushstrokes form the feathers and other details of the animal. In some strange way it reminds me of the story of the Renaissance painter Giotto who is rumored to have been able to draw a perfect circle without the aid of a compass, as if Doyle just picks up a dripping paint brush and in a few seconds paints a perfect bird.

In reality his work demonstrates a profound control of the paintbrush and careful understanding of the mediums he works with. Via email he tells me: Yes, what you see is what it appears to be—strokes of paint. Doyle most recently had a show at Skylight Gallery in 2011 and is now currently working on a new body of work in Hong Kong.

The best part is that you can easily create something similar at home – all you need is one or two lamps and some items from your desk.

The stunning light painting below, made with an array of colored airplanes has found its way to exhibitions like the Fly to Baku at De Pury Gallery in London. Rashad adds, “Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.” Comments comments.

L’artista spagnolo Lorenzo Duran si avvale delle foglie come tela per le sue incisioni. Dopo il lavaggio e l’essiccazione, rimuove con precisione chirurgica ed estrema cura i segmenti in eccesso, usando una tecnica simile a quella del tradizionale paper cutting.

Hats_Micael_Reynaud.gif (GIF Image, 401x301 pixels) Artist Transforms Stuffy Old Lace Into Fantastic Street Art (Photos) Photos: NeSpoon (via Behance) If you associate hoodie-concealed men sporting spray cans with street art, think again.

Think crocheted bicycles, yarn bombing and random acts of planting. To be sure, traditional urban art is dominated by men. But the last decade has seen the rise of a number of talented female urban artists whose diverse subject matter ranges from candy-colored caricatures to abstract shapes and constellations -- and whose tools range from spray paint to more unconventional means of expression. From Poland comes urban artist NeSpoon, whose artistic focus is on the intricate patterns of lace, and breaking its granny stereotype by using it to beautify gritty urban spaces. Based in Warsaw, Poland, NeSpoon calls her artistic approach the "jewellery of the public space": Jewellery makes people look pretty, my public jewellery has the same goal, make public places look better.

NeSpoon's work defies categorization. Like this? Icevolcano_fulle.jpg (JPEG Image, 900x600 pixels) Split Family Faces. Cousins: Justine, 29, & Ulric, 29 How much do you and your family members really look alike? Quebec, Canada-based graphic designer and photographer Ulric Collette has created a shockingly cool project where he's exploring the genetic similarities between different members of the same family. By splitting their faces in half and then splicing them together, he creates interesting new people that are sometimes quite normal looking and other times far from it. He calls this series Genetic Portraits.

(Did you notice that Ulric, the photographer, is one-half of some of these pairings? For instance, see first and last.) Update 1: We got in touch with Ulric to ask him a few questions about this really intriguing series (that just happened to go viral). Update 2: What happened after Split Family Faces went viral?

All together. Cradle Chair: Big Basket Seat Rocks Adults Gently to Sleep. There is no escaping those innate and early-learned associations – for some, it means sleeping to gentle noises on planes, and for others, the act of rocking tilts us softly into a deep slumber. Richard Clarkson and company wanted to create a kind of low-tech, sensory-deprivation, sofa-style seat where one can curl up and forget the workaday worries of ordinary life … and perhaps even doze over before you notice you are slowly falling asleep. While there is art and craft in this object, there is science that went into its design as well. Specifically, research into autistic children and those who suffer from RMD (rhythmic moving disorder) played a crucial role in the shape and structure of the result.

For all its theoretical complexity, the final form looks quite simple (and extremely comfortable). 10 Examples of Incredible Starry Night Sky Photography, and a How-To Video. 25 Pictures Taken At Exactly The Right Moment. 1929.6.115_1a.jpg (JPEG Image, 1375x1026 pixels) - Scaled (60%) Strange_gardens_18_0810-lg.jpg (JPEG Image, 375x500 pixels) "What Childhood Games Really Taught You" by Julie Shain (Page 2)
