James Modern designs one-of-a-kind miniature landscapes. His process begins by working with a glass blowing artist to create unique biomporphic terrariums and then proceeds to plant and substrate selection followed by several months of nurturing the delicate environment. Finally, the terrarium is delivered to the client with detailed instructions on how to care for the miniature world within. James has written a rather detailed how-to over on Design Milk today if you’re interested. I find the patience, investment in time, and meticulous attention to detail in projects like this totally thrilling.
From his site: I hope to provide the truest representation of nature using the Taoist principles of proportion and scale… taking into consideration the shape, texture and size of plants against the earth and the sky… staying true to elements that one would find in nature. These miniature landscapes are enhanced within complementary containers. Photoshopped-3.jpg (imagen JPEG, 500 × 746 píxeles) Stone on the Behance Network. Sculpture on the Behance Network.

Coal Oil Point Series on the Behance Network.
On the western edge of the University of California's campus at Santa Barbara, a sticky finger of land juts into the Pacific. Labeled Coal Oil Point on some maps and Devereaux Point on others, this minor extension of the shoreline steadily collects oil as the winds and tides paint it with the excretions of offshore drilling platforms as well as natural seepages from the ocean floor. On the beach, the oil functions as a kind of mineralizing superglue, binding sand and stone and occasional bits of organic material into nascent shale.
In the endless battle between the land and sea, the oil plays a subsersive role, washing ashore with forces of erosion - but then allying itself with the besieged shoreline. In the fullness of geologic time, the progressively lithified shale will become part of some future terrestrial offensive. Replace one space on the Behance Network. Wondertoonel. Kunstformen der Natur. The 8th print, Discomedusae. The center and bottom-center images are Desmonema annasethe; the tentacles reminded Haeckel of his late wife's long flowing hair. According to Haeckel scholar Olaf Breidbach (the editor of modern editions of Kunstformen), the work was "not just a book of illustrations but also the summation of his view of the world. " The over-riding themes of the Kunstformen plates are symmetry and organization. The subjects were selected to embody organization, from the scale patterns of boxfishes to the spirals of ammonites to the perfect symmetries of jellies and microorganisms, while images composing each plate are arranged for maximum visual impact.[3] A second edition of Kunstformen, containing only 30 of the prints, was produced in 1924.

From Julie Heffernan’s Constructions of Self Julie Heffernan creates sensuous figurative painting, like co-Yale MFAS, John Currin and Linda Yuskavage, but her luminous oils are patently unique among them and most working artists today. A Victorian impetus to conjoin, edging toward pastiche, creates artfully staged Surrealist environments. They avoid the mawkish or macabre by virtue of an evocative 17th century Baroque styling and the dignity with which she handles her primary subject, herself.
Good construction is essential to the success of such works, built of disparate things suggesting disparate philosophies and ages. Yet the finished product is seamless, making it easy for the viewer to willfully suspend disbelief in the face of rampant artifice.
