Illustration 1 on the Behance Network. Blow - On the Cutting Edge Exhibition. Sensibilities - Myths and Legends of Russia: the Illustrations. Let us have more pictures, shall we? Several of us are experiencing December blues and quite unable to rouse ourselves to the spirit of the season. I hope these may provide a few moments' entertainment at the very least. I never did manage to post these illustrations here. I did post a link to my dA gallery instead a few months ago, but links are no fun. Besides, there are fewer illustrations there. Cross-posted at told_tales and storybookland I feel so silly and awkward sometimes, posting these things in communities; especially having to sign off with my name as the illustrator.

Photography. Sylvia. The Dark portal of Art v1.0. Apocalyptic Sculptures by Kris Kuksi. Kris Kuksi is a 36-year-old sculptor from Missouri, USA. His sculptures are created out of discarded toys, old mechanical parts and other tossed away items. The sheer amount of detail within is work is truly incredible. He is able to create entire worlds that almost appear frozen in time. According to Kuksi’s artist statement, his work is “feeling that he has always belonged to the ‘Old World’. Yet, Kris’ work is about a new wilderness, refined and elevated, visualized as a cultivation emerging from the corrupt and demoralized fall of modern-day society. In any case, Kuksi’s mindblowingly detailed toy sculptures remind us that trash and discarded materials can be refashioned into nearly anything we want. Video: H.R.

Artist/Naturalist Andy Goldsworthy. Artist/Naturalist Pages Andy Goldsworthy 1956 - Andy Goldsworthy is a brilliant British artist who collaborates with nature to make his creations. Besides England and Scotland, his work has been created at the North Pole, in Japan, the Australian Outback, in the U.S. and many others Goldsworthy regards his creations as transient, or ephemeral.

"I enjoy the freedom of just using my hands and "found" tools--a sharp stone, the quill of a feather, thorns. "Looking, touching, material, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. "I want to get under the surface. "Movement, change, light, growth and decay are the lifeblood of nature, the energies that I I try to tap through my work. "The underlying tension of a lot of my art is to try and look through the surface appearance of things.
