Nocturne - Martin Wittfooth - Aurora. The Happiness Machine: Exquisitely Detailed Architectural Drawings by Mark Lascelles Thornton. Using a rotring pen on white paper, Cornwall-based artist Mark Lascelles Thornton has embarked on a massive architectural drawing project called the The Happiness Machine. Each panel represents a stylized red and grayscale representation of architectural highlights from eight locations, so far including Chicago, New York, London and what appears to be a mix of Asian skyscrapers (Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, etc.). In addition to the meticulous detail of the buildings and clouds, the piece is all the more incredible considering its scale: the final piece will include eight panels spanning 8 ft. by 5 ft. (2.4 m. x 1.5 m.).

The images here are great but you can see everything in much more detail over on his Tumblr. (via devid sketchbook) Unbelievable Oil Paintings by Fulvio di Piazza - Draw As A Maniac - Aurora.

Wall paintings had existed since the earliest history of mankind. Pictorial text on cave walls and on the pillars of ancient civilizations eventually morphed into text characters of some of the most commonly used languages today such as the Chinese and Indian languages.

As such, we can see that pictures and paintings are fundamental and essential parts of human development that serve to communicate ideas and messages. Graffiti and wall paintings appear to be more intricate than simple pictorial texts. They serve more than just putting simple ideas across to those who come in contact with them. They are more symbolic, and as in art pieces, are subject to individual interpretation. If you don’t really get what I mean, check out the following graffiti, wall paintings and murals found in the Net.

Opps. ART MADE FROM HUMAN BONES - WHOA - Nightly (Build 20120320043530) Francois Robert was at an auction in the mid 1990s and took home three lockers. Two of the lockers were empty, but the third one contained a real human skeleton which must have served as a teaching aid in a science class. Robert realized that his skeleton was limited: it was wired together for display. He traded his skeleton for a disarticulated human skeleton online - a box containing 206 separate bones. Since then, Robert has spent hundreds of hours working with those bones, arranging them painstakingly into striking, iconic shapes, each five or six feet wide, and photographing them. He calls the resulting images “Stop the Violence.” Each shot takes a full day to set up. The results are beautiful and haunting.

Amusingplanet.com Happy Halloween! 30 Bizarre and Creative Packaging Design Examples. Inspiration November 1, 2010 One of the things that identifies the image of a product is its packaging. Few elements like striking graphics, attractive colors, and unusual shapes are carefully thought of to come up with packaging design that catches the attention of the consumers. A packaging design is a critical component in marketing because it is the packaging that makes it stand from the rest when consumers choose a product from the shelf. We usually see the packaging first instead of an innovative product. This post presents the clever and innovative ideas of some of the company manufacturers around the world.

Expansion by Paige Bradley | Colossal - Nightly (Build 20120320091259) Impermanent Sand Paintings by Andres Amador | Colossal - Nightly (Build 20120320091259) San Francisco-area landscape artist Andreas Amador etches massive sand drawings onto beaches during full moons when his canvas reaches its largest potential. Using only a rake and often several helpers the geometric and organic shapes are slowly carved into the sand, often interacting with the physical topography like the stones in a zen garden. The works exist for only a few moments, just long enough to snap a few photographs before being completely engulfed by the encroaching tide.

Amador has also collaborated on a number of killer marriage proposals, the question popped as part of his elaborate drawings viewable from an elevated distance. You can see much more on his website, and he also sells prints. If you liked this, also see the works of Sonja Hinrichsen and Jim Denevan.

El Jardín Abandonado | El Dibujante 2.0 - Nightly (Build 20111215031153) Rating: 9.0/ 10 (6 votes cast) Rico, despreocupado y profundamente enamorado del arte de la pintura, Santiago Rusiñol llevó una vida bohemia durante muchos años de su vida. Vivió en Montmatre junto a otros amigos pintores, Ramón Casas e Ignacio Zuloaga, viajó cuanto quiso y participó en la fiestas más concurridas de la mejor élite catalana. Pintaba y escribía como el mejor y dictando no solo la moda del modernismo en España, sino el criterio del buen artista, pues experimentó en carne propia los límites del artista, a lo que le ayudó su adicción a la morfina.

El posterior proceso de desintoxicación al que se sometió el artista a partir de 1899 y la intervención quirúrgica que, un año después, lo dejó con un solo riñón, le hicieron alejarse del abismo y le condujeron a una nueva etapa creativa, marcada por la especialización en la pintura de jardines por toda la geografía española. El pintor comienza a interesarse por Los Jardines de Aranjuez en 1898. Visita Virtual Museo Thyssen Bornemisza. Keira Rathbone Has Typewritten Her Way into Art. From the series of written paper art comes another artist that deals with paper and words. But if Su Blackwell is a reader, Keira Rathbone is a writer. She typewrites all her works of art. At first, if you see her works from a distance (both in real life and on virtual media) nothing strikes you. However, there should but a “Warning! You might drop your jaw if you look closer” sign next to each of her works of art. Whether you ignore the sign or not, your jaw will drop — it’s your responsibility, and her success.

Keira actually has the patience to apply a mathematical precision in each and every representation of the objects she designs. The presentations she typewrites are buildings, people and nature. Photo by Keira Rathbone via Joshua Riehl But she doesn’t always deal with architecture; still life is also one of her passions as you can well see in her art.

Photos by Keira Rathbone As you can well see, color isn’t the strongest point of these works… or is it? 651_65528_do-ho-suh.jpg (JPEG Imagen, 599x480 pixels) Scott Campbell.

Jamie Salmon is a British born, Vancouver resident, contemporary sculptor. He specialises in photorealistic sculpture, utilizing materials such as silicone rubber, fibre glass, acrylic and human hair. The themes of Salmons works are varied . He says ” I like to use the human form as a way of exploring the nature of what we consider to be “real” and how we react when our visual perceptions of this reality are challenged. In our modern society we have become obsessed with our outward appearance, and now with modern technology we are able to alter this in almost anyway we desire. How does this outward change affect us and how we are perceived by others? MARK EVANS. Heather Jansch - Sculptor - Driftwood - Bronze. With a Passion for Skateboarding: Creative Art Sculptures by Haroshi.

Now that’s a sick madness! If you have never heard about Japanese wood sculptor named Haroshi, go get the wind of his most original conceptual art. As a creator of amazingly beautiful wooden sculptures out of old, crashed and broken skateboard decks, Haroshi passed for a man of considerable resourcefulness. His multicolored and meticulously sculpted art pieces simply astound with lifelike affinity, so in whichever way it’s even possible to mistake them for being real! In his works he stacks many layers with all piece elements being connected either in their original form or in shapes to form wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels. After that they’re cut down to size, shaven to get rid of the debris, and afterwards coated with a final glossy finish. And with a long-term passion for skateboarding, Haroshi even puts a broken metal skateboard piece in the center of each sculpture to give soul to the statue.
