Land Art

Mélange de photographie, de nature et de style, le land-art de Sylvain Meyer s’illustre avec brio au travers de ces images. Grâce à son sens de l’observation, il passe des heures à collecter des éléments de la nature afin de créer une ambiance envoutante. Plus d’images dans la suite.
http://24flinching.com/word/featured/drowning-beautiful/ Sometimes an artist creates something so beautifully simple that it takes your breath away…. literally. (hack line – couldn’t help it) Artist Jason de Caires Taylor creates life-size cement sculptures of people and submerges them into the waters of South America. As time passes the sculptures become part of the underwater landscape and slowly become artificial reefs ripe with marine life.

From a pod of dolphins playing in the ocean to a tender moment between a mother a child, Jamie Wardley's eye-catching art works have adorned beaches all over the north of England and Scotland. The former ice and sand sculptor, who decided to widen his canvass after a collaboration with another artist in 2007, was so successful with his first commission that he was asked to return the following year. Beach art: Jamie Wardley's eye-catching art works have adorned beaches all over the north of England and Scotland Now Jamie is one of just a handful of people in the world who uses the coastline as his canvas and embraces the fleeting nature of his creations on a full time basis. ‘Time is a big challenge when you're working on a beach,’ explains the 32-year-old.

That's some party trick: Model-maker produces life-size replica of Tyrannosaurus Rex in 55 hours, using 1,400 balloons... and a LOT of hot air | Mail Online

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2009036/Thats-party-trick-Model-maker-produces-life-size-replica-Tyrannosaurus-Rex-55-hours-using-1-400-balloons--LOT-hot-air.html Mark Verge has been perfecting the art form for more than 16 years and has created a 39ft life-size replica of a Tyrannosaurus Rex out of 1,400 balloons. It was just one of the sculptures made by the model-maker along with a triceratops, spinosaurus, stegasaurus and utahraptor for his show in Ontario, Canada. Since then he has developed his own techniques and uses a variety of different-sized balloons to build the delicate creations. It was his collection of fossils that first gave him the idea to make model dinosaurs. 'The T Rex took 55 hours to create and consisted of over 1,400 balloons. It was very difficult as the size made it very difficult to display.

Inspiration: Staple Gun Art | Apartment Therapy San Francisco

>Much in the same spirit as the thumbtack mural that we posted about here , this wall art was created with a staple gun. The DIY possibilities are endless if you have a bit of time, a good idea, and a relaxed landlord (or, a whole lot of spackle). French artist Baptiste Debombourg used over 35,000 staples to create these "frescoes" on the wall. The texture and shine of the metal create a very dynamic effect, and we think that this idea could be translated in some creative ways in the home. This is a great idea for an earthquake safe piece over the bed! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/inspiration-staple-gun-art-109781

Eric Daigh’s Thumbtacks | The Donut Project

Eric Daugh uses thumbtacks to make large portraits of people. Sort of along the lines of Christian Faur’s crayon art we posted a while back , Daugh uses a 3D round object, thumbtacks, to create a pointillist piece of art. These large pieces look realistic from far away but are very abstract up close. It’s obvious whoever wrote his description/bio owns a thesaurus: Using push pins, the innocuous, adhesive, near-detritus of our everyday Eric creates the view from here.

Man beats his own record by building the world's tallest sandcastle | Mail Online

In fact Ed Jarrett, from Connecticut, needed 1,500 volunteers and 1.6million pounds of sand and water to build the world's largest sandcastle - breaking his own record in the process. The structure was originally at 38-feet and 75-inches high in May but this dropped due to the weather - including snow, rain, thunderstorms and extreme heat - and a blue bird which decided the top of the castle was going to be its new perching ground. Laura Ward, public relations representative for Jarrett’s Castle, said: 'When we noticed that little bluebird scraping away at the top of the sandcastle and the local meteorologists began to project daily thunderstorms, we scrambled to compile and send our documentation to Guinness World Records so we could have the height certified before the castle became any shorter.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2002328/Man-beats-record-building-worlds-tallest-sandcastle.html
http://www.behance.net/gallery/Water-to-Water/742699 the total amount of water in a man of average weight is approximately 40 liters, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age... the human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult female
