Witness: this forum, which has compiled drawings from survivors of the country’s brutal concentration and work camps (more are sampled after the jump). The commenters over at Gawker have put China at the top of their dialogue on its post about these drawings.

External Stimuli : Andy Goldsworthy’s Digital Catalogue Associates Ask Nick Vedros what he does, and he’ll tell you: “I put four sides around an idea.” It is a deceptively simple phrase to sum up three decades of international award-winning photography for a client list which includes Apple, McDonalds, Bayer, Capital One, Qualcomm, Coca-Cola, DuPont, IBM, Microsoft, Sony, Mastercard, and Sprint. Nick announced to his parents he wanted to be a photographer at age 12 and at age 13 bought his first camera.

Un museo que corta la respiración Un ejército de 500 efectivos puebla el lecho marino de la costa de Cancún, en México, formando una barrera submarina. Desde 2009, el grupo permanece en su puesto impávido, concienzudamente dedicado a la tarea de proporcionar un hogar donde guarecerse y alimentarse para numerosas especies de peces y crustáceos. Por su esfuerzo y su tenacidad, la tropa se merece un homenaje, materializado en el Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA), un proyecto del británico Jason DeCaires Taylor. La pasta de la que está hecha esta escultórica armada, cuenta su progenitor, es un tipo especial de cemento, de PH neutro, respetuoso con la biología de las aguas caribeñas en las que se encuentra sumergido. Aunque su carácter es impenetrablemente pétreo, cada una de estas figuras viene con una historia sentimental detrás, infundida por su demiurgo. En su Inglaterra natal, como estudiante de escultura pública, DeCaires sintió la necesidad de dar un giro a su futura profesión.

Underlined Book Quotes Become Clever Illustrations Bookworm or not, you can't help but enjoy these black and white illustrations of literary quotes by Evan Robertson. The New York-based graphic designer has taken some of the cleverest lines written by famous authors such as William Faulkner and Oscar Wilde and turned them into wonderful posters. These literature-inspired fine art illustrations are currently being sold on Etsy under the name Obvious State. Robertson would see a "little jewel of a sentence" and he'd underline it. Then, he would take those "snippets of text and ideas" and "let the words be a springboard for an illustration." As he told Huffington Post, "The illustrations incorporate and interact with the text and hopefully add up to something that engages the mind as much as the eye."

Judith Ann Braun's Fingers Are Magical With an art career spanning more than three decades, Judith Ann Braun has tested the limits of her artistic musculature. She began as a self-described “realistic figure painter,” and worked through the struggles common to anyone who endeavors upon an artistic pursuit, that of searching for one’s own voice in the chosen medium. Fast forward to the 21st century where the evolution of Braun’s work has brought us to the Fingerings series, a collection of charcoal dust landscapes and abstracts “painted” using not brushes but her fingertips. Braun has a specific interest in symmetry, as evidenced by the patterns she follows in a number of the Fingerings pieces as well as work in the Symmetrical Procedures collection. Her fingerprints are obvious up close in some of the paintings, though a step back and the grandeur of Braun’s imagination sprawls into a landscape of soft hills, overhanging trees, delicate florals, and a reflective waterway.

Interactive Paintings on the Streets of Malaysia A great new street artist is making a splash in Malaysia this month. Painter Ernest Zacharevic created four new works where his painted figures of mischievous children are seen interacting with their physical surroundings: an old bicycle, a motorcycle, or even windows on the side of a building. His most popular piece of two small children on a large bicycle has become a major destination in the city with dozens of people stopping to take creative photos.

Artist Doodles Hundreds of Faces He Sees in Crowd Have you ever felt lost in the crowd, a nameless face wandering in the masses? Well, Brazilian artist Guilherme Kramer decided to eliminate those feelings of loneliness by giving each nameless face that he saw proper recognition. Across the course of one year, Kramer was inspired to draw the faces that he saw in his daily life onto a giant blank wall of an office in São Paulo, Brazil. The piece, entitled We See People In the Crowd, grew face-by-face until the wall was completely covered.

If Henri Matisse and Mickalene Thomas teamed up to create an NSFW children's book-- hey, it could happen-- we imagine it would look something like this.
