Van Gogh Painting is a Vertical Green Wall Photo: B. Alter It's the first living painting in London's Trafalgar Square, and maybe the first anywhere. A Van Gogh picture has been turned into a green living vertical wall. Depicting Van Gogh's painting, A Wheatfield with Cypresses, it's a new way to draw people into the National Gallery to see the real thing. Photo: National Gallery: A Wheatfield, with Cypresses 1889 The living painting has been constructed by a horticulture and design company which specialises in green walls and roofs. They used over 8,000 plants of 25 different varieties. It took 3 days to install the wall which forms part of a hoarding outside the gallery. 'A Wheatfield, with Cypresses' was painted in September 1889, when Van Gogh was in the St-Rémy mental asylum, near Arles, where he was a patient from May 1889 until May 1890. The painting has been brought to life with the sponsorship of GE (General Electric) as part of the Gallery's long-term plan to reduce its carbon footprint.

Robin Wood :: wooden bowls & plates :: traditional turning :: spoon carving :: countryside furniture When George Lailey died in 1958 a craft going back more than 2000 years died with him. He was the last person in England to make a living turning wooden bowls on a foot powered pole lathe. In medieval times nearly everybody in Britain ate from wooden bowls every day. They were beautiful, functional bowls that linger on in memories of Goldilocks but were killed off by the industrial revolution and cheap pottery. I became fascinated by the craft whilst working in woodland conservation and set about reviving the lost technique, first learning the blacksmithing skills I needed to forge the specialised turning tools. Like the old turners I use no sandpaper relying entirely on the sharpness of my tools to get a clean cut finish. December 15th 2008 was exactly fifty years since the ‘last bowlturner’ George Lailey died aged 89. These are cut from one block of wood, one from inside the next, using special curved tools which I forge myself. This video shows how this unique set of bowls was made.

Julie Heffernan 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.

Childhood = Ruined: These Realistic-Looking Pokémon Are Absolutely Terrifying (Photos) Stock photos — they’re literally everywhere. If you’re an avid web-surfer, you’ve seen them used on various websites and online publications. If you like to walk around major cities, you’ve seen them used in advertisements. Generally, stock photos are pretty uncreative, bland and overall boring. If you were looking to have fun in the tristate area back in the 1980s, there’s a high chance you placed all your bets on Action Park in New Jersey. Re-creating any kind of photo generally takes an ounce of creativity and a whole lot of skill. Famous musicians are already incredibly influential, so it was only a matter of time before they not only filled our homes with beautiful music, but also became our homes.

Nazgul - The Lord Of The Rings Procurei bastante um modelo do universo de “O Senhor dos Anéis” e não encontrei nada que me agradasse. Daí, com dicas que peguei na comunidade do Orkut e em vários sites por aí, tentei começar com este modelo que extraí do jogo “The Return Of The King”. O modelo não ficou nem próximo do que o pessoal faz em sites e fóruns espalhados pela internet. Eu identifiquei vários erros quando estava montando. Alguns eu acho que consegui corrigir, outros, teria que começar de novo desde a modelagem (que eu não saco nada…). Mas dá pra montar… E ficou maneirasso na estante! Papel: Sulfite 180gr (6 folhas A4) Pra quem quiser tentar…. I've been looking for a model from "The Lord Of The Rings" and I didn't found one that pleased me.

Since then, the field has practically exploded and you can find information everywhere. I post links to sites regularly, but I wanted to make a list of the sites you should be checking out regularly. So I’ve collected and categorized what I consider to be the 100 best sites for a prop maker. Now, this is far from comprehensive, particularly if you are working on specific objects or using less-popular materials, but hopefully it will keep you busy for awhile. Forums Forums remain a great way to find information about prop making, since much of what we do is so specific and unique. Prop Makers Many prop makers have their own website or post their work online, but a few go the extra mile and show how they’ve built specific props.
