Peter "Draws" Deligdisch Creates Works of Art With Just Pen and Paper. The 13 Coolest Tattoo Artists In The World. Artist Creates Stunning Landscapes Entirely Out of Food. EmailEmail Pictures of food and pictures of art do well on the internet, so London-based photographer Carl Warner wised up and combined the two into a deliciously creative and ingenious set of landscapes crafted entirely out of food called ‘Foodscapes.’ The 25-year veteran advertisement photographer came up with the idea to photograph clever arrangements of cabbage oceans, mashed-potato mountains and salami rivers roughly 10 years ago, but only in 2008 did it receive international recognition.

Since then, he has continued developing the idea, using his experience with artificial lighting and tabletop photography to create new delicious foodscapes. Would you hang one of these on your wall?

You Won't Believe These Images Are Just Renders. Disney Princesses As Moulin Rouge Style Dancers. Disney princesses: we all grew up wanting to be one. By now some of you may have probably abandoned your dreams, but I have not. I would sell my soul to an evil sea witch in a heartbeat to be a mermaid princess and that's just the God's honest truth. I would marry Merman, and we would rule the seven seas together. Well, at least until he finally came out. Hit the jump for closeups of each plus a BONUS announcer Mickey.

While in college, designer Sophie de Oliveira Barata specialized in something most of us would find far from the traditional design areas – special effects prosthetics for film and TV. Today, besides realistic prosthetics, she also creates some cutting-edge design ones for her Alternative Limb Project. Collaborating with graphic, laser cutting, woodwork, plastics’ and other artists, Sophie makes those prosthetics look like a true piece of art: every single design is unique and utilizes different materials, textures and colors to create a very intricate final result. [Read more...] “Having an alternative limb is about claiming control and saying ‘I’m an individual and this reflects who I am,” says Sophie.

There are testimonies from her thankful clients to prove how important it was to them, too. Website: thealternativelimbproject.com Stereo Leg Snake Arm Floral Leg Wooden Arm Removable Muscle. Artist Shows his Progression from 2 Years old to 25. Some artists begin creating masterpieces purely by accident or as an unintended outcome of something else, but Hong Kong born artist Marc Allante has been dedicated ever since he was 2 years old. Seeing how popular his recent lion painting was, the artist decided to show the 25 years it took to get there. Starting with the portraits of his grandma (“oma”) and grandpa (“opa”), the stream ends with a fascinating colorful lion, drawn at the age of 25. Marc’s work today is a modernist fusion of Eastern and Western art traditions, as the guy has lived in Sydney and London as well, and is of French and Chinese ancestry.

He mostly uses colorful dripping wet ink and combines it with minimalistic black silhouettes. Curiously, Martin never attended any art school and is completely self-taught. Seeing his dedication since he was a toddler, why would you need a teacher?

While the winter is still here many artists and creative minds try to use Mother Nature’s ready-made canvases from ice and snow to express themselves. The good thing about these wintry creative spaces is that there are a lot of this kind of “canvases” and art can be made almost anywhere.

The downside, on the other hand, is that this art medium might melt quite fast, and the creative process always takes place under pretty harsh conditions, with the thermometer scale dropping down below zero. [Read more...] Thank god people have the possibility to capture their creations on camera before they melt down!

So without further ado, here are 12 literally cool examples of things made using ice and snow. (List inspired by flaviaorwire.com) 1. 1,000 little seated ice figurines were made in order to melt in the heat of a day. 2.

Amsterdam-based artist Max Zorn uses packaging tape like no one else – instead of using it for packaging or fixing stuff, Max creates stunning tape pictures. The artist achieves different shades, hues and shadows by layering the translucent tape on the Plexiglass and cutting it with a scalpel. Once finished, his artwork can be seen hanging on the street lamps – as the lights go on, they shine through the pictures and create a beautiful graphic effect.

Like most artists, he got this idea about using packaging tape completely by accident: “The idea to work with tape instead of paint was inspired by a friend who worked as a car designer at that time. These guys often use slim tapes to outline their ideas on large boards. I was surprised to see, how fast they could create stunning sketches with it.” Website: maxzorn.com, sticktogether.maxzorn.com If you have this.. You can make this! Creative Food Art by Sarah Illenberger. German art director Sarah Illenberger has a great eye for spotting various objects or even word puns in something as ordinary as fruits and vegetables. In her “Strange Fruits” project a slice of watermelon starts raining seeds, pomegranate turns into an actual grenade, and chilli peppers become the flame of a lighter (because they’re hot - get it?).

“Whatever she creates, it is done with a humorous touch and a great love for detail,” writes German publicist about Sarah on her website. “Each assignment leads to a unique work of art, sometimes visually enhancing the content of a feature, sometimes to be considered a work in its own right.” Be sure to visit her website for more of her works!

If you liked the marker-drawn murals by Charlotte Mann as a way to decorate your room, you’ll also love this like-minded German artist Heike Weber. Based in Cologne, she uses permanent markers to create mesmerizing floor and wall drawings which sometimes cover up to 5000 square ft. By carefully planning and controlling the white spaces between each line, Heike gives her drawings a 3D feeling. The space around the viewer may seem to be constantly swirling and floating, and you might find yourself losing the ground under your feet.

This is probably why one of her latest installations in a cafe in Prague is called ‘bodenlos’ which means “bottomless”. Besides her meticulous marker drawings, Heike also applies various linear techniques to her paper works and also does photography, sculpture and object creation.

When, due to his feet injuries, British engineer Simon Beck could no longer run, he decided to get some exercise by taking long walks. To make it more interesting, 54-year-old would put on his snowshoes and walk in distinctly geometric patterns. Step by step, after 8 to 10 hours of walking it creates some jaw-dropping trampled snow art. Being an orienteering leader, Simon calls his method a ‘kind of reverse orienteering’ and first designs his patterns on the computer.

Once in the snow, he uses an orienteering compass and a measuring tape to lay out the design, then picks up a clothes line and a central anchor to complete the circles and curves. These snow ‘crop circles’ can be found in the ski resort of Les Arcs in France, where Simon resides during winter. For more snow art be sure to check out Sonja Hinrichsen that we’ve featured last year. Website: facebook. Pop-Culture Characters Get Their Own Game of Thrones House Sigils.
