Miniature Cement Sculptures Street Art by Isaac Cordal [25 pics] Artwork and Photography by Isaac Cordal Working out of London, England, artist Isaac Cordal has been placing his cement miniatures all around Europe. In his recently published book Cement Eclipses: Small Interventions in the Big City, Isaac explores the urban landscape, placing his magical little sculptures in unassuming locations. Isaac Cordal is a sculpture artist from London. His sculptures can be found in gutters, on top of buildings, on top of bus shelters – in many unusual and unlikely places in the capital. Left to their own devices throughout London, what really makes these pieces magical is their placement. Well you’ve opened a whole can of worms with that question. via Isaac.alg-a.org – ISAAC CORDAL OFFICIAL SITE – Isaac Cordal on Flickr – Isaac Cordal on Twitter – Isaac Cordal on Facebook – Cement Eclipses: Small Interventions in the Big City If you enjoyed this article, the Sifter highly recommends: Astonishing Underwater Sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor [30 pics]

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website

Es ist nicht tot, was ewig liegt, bis dass die Zeit den Tod besiegt… « Zechelon’s Weblog Es ist nicht tot, was ewig liegt, bis dass die Zeit den Tod besiegt… 02Nov09 So – nach quasi ewigen Zeiten finde ich mal wieder die Muße einen Eintrag in meinem Blog zu schreiben :-) Das hat mehrere Gründe – erstens, dass ich ziemlich direkt nach meinem Diplom einen festen Job gefunden habe (man hat doch wirklich dann weniger Freizeit ;-) ) und zweitens bin ich dann endlich aus dem Studentenwohnheim in eine größere Wohnung gezogen… Eine Sache für Rhino die ich vor einiger Zeit entdeckt habe, will ich aber hier niemandem vorenthalten. FlexiCad hat hier ein sehr interessantes Tutorial geschrieben wie man Einstellungen an Rhino vornimmt um es mit 3D-Brillen nuzten zu können. Hier mal als Beispiele ein paar Rot/Cyan-3D-Bilder meiner Diplomarbeit (eine entsprechende Brille wäre schon ganz praktisch ;-) ) Zwar sieht man mit diesen 3D-Brillen am Kopf aus wie der letzte Schnittlauch, aber die Möglichkeit gemoddelte Situationen wirklich “räumlich” zu erfahren & zu begreifen ist schon verdammt cool…

Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures.

Wire Sculpture | Fubiz™ - StumbleUpon Coup de coeur pour les étonnants travaux de l’artiste Gavin Worth avec ces différentes sculptures en fil de fer. Actuellement basé à San Francisco, il conçoit à partir de 2 mètres de fil des oeuvres et des profils de personnages. A découvrir sur son portfolio et dans la suite de l’article. Fascinating Lamps by Calabarte | Pondly Calabarte is the pseudonym of a Polish artist named Przemek Krawczynski, whose art takes on a peculiar but incredibly beautiful form: cool lamps. The name itself is a portmanteau of two words – art (obviously), and calabash, the fruit that carries his imagination. The calabash is a bottle gourd originating in India, although Calabarte gets his supply from Senegal. Due to ancient domestication and usage, the bottle gourd has an incredibly tough outer shell. In the past, the gourd’s usage was defined mostly as a water container, due to having a tough, smooth shell with an ergonomic shape for handling, and natural buoyancy on water. Nevertheless, it’s edible both raw and cooked, and used in various cuisines. Due to the combination of dark, thick material with a light source within, the primary art of his work, however, shines in the dark. When he’s not making cool lamps, Calabarte partakes in a number of physical activities, enjoying life through sports, travelling, and making music.

RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus. See the Wallpapers collections available: Print My Fingers in Eight Ways Posted by C on Saturday, October 29, 2011 · I found these amazing works of art the other day. Illustrations of fingerprints depicted in different ways. And hear my words are in a real sway. Kevin Van Aelst replicated his own set of fingerprints in an exceptional way to be able to show the world that he really knows the meaning of “work of art.” [via wowcollector.net]
