com - Jonathan Darby Presentation Jonathan Darby spent his youth at a Rudolf Steiner School in Hertfordshire. After being expelled from the Steiner school and having no A-level qualifications Jonathan was offered an unconditional place in Central Saint Martins, London. Jonathan’s artistic concern deals with socio-political and humanitarian themes. Contrasting elements of softness and beauty against severe brutalities, Jonathan’s paintings are both seductive and harsh in their subject and technique. Jonathan has been working with children’s charities and is increasingly furthering this course of action.

The Making of a Tattoo Flash Aside from all the drinking, it is pretty interesting to see tattooist David Tevenal draw and color by hand. Below: A video directed by Seanie G. Productions. Film stills © Seanie G. The Jealous Curator » paper natasha law Ok, I did not know that gloss paint on paper could look this sexy… well it does when London based artist Natasha Law is involved! Yes, those semi-nudes are very sultry, but so are Natasha’s compositions and color choices. Elegant, clean, graphic, and yep… kinda hot. * I had to include this little tidbit… Natasha is not the only talented, creative person in her family. Her brother happens to be Jude Law. ted feighan It’s true. maud vantours GAH!!!!! cassia beck So fun! ps. anthony gerace Remember those little puzzles where you had to slide the squares one at a time until you could make the full picture? elise wehle I wrote about American artist Elise Wehle almost one year ago, but I just have to show you more! {All of these pieces are available in her Etsy shop… some prints and even a few originals!} aoife flynn You know those people who say “Oh, I don’t watch TV” … yeah… I’m not one of those people. giulia palmobino mary anne kluth ps. li hongbo What?!

SADNESS: Barbie & Ken Behind The Scenes One would assume Barbie lives the perfect life (I mean, if you don’t count her hoarding addiction). But you know what they say — Money doesn’t buy happiness. And apparently Barbie’s Dream House, pink Ferrari, and all those damn shoes don’t guarantee a happy marriage. Photographer Dina Goldstein brings us this never before seen look into the real lives of Barbie & Ken. Via: designtaxi.com Haunting, black-and-white self-portraits by young Hungarian artist mesmerize Flickr fans by Dan Havlik posted Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 7:36 PM EDT Noell S. Oszvald does not want to be called a photographer, claiming she's "not yet one" in a message to Imaging Resource when we contacted her about her work. While the 22-year-old, Hungarian artist is, perhaps, being modest, the reaction to her surreal, black-and-white self-portrait photos has not been. After Oszvald's Flickr page attracted thousands of fans, her haunting images, which recall a Bergman film mixed with a Salvador Dali painting, have been featured on photo blogs and art sites around the world. While we weren't able to get Oszvald to explain her process for creating her striking work -- a message to her via her Flickr page about what camera and technique she uses went unanswered -- that could be in keeping with her philosophy about her photos. "I don't want to tell people what to see in my images," Oszvald told My Modern Metropolis. Check out her work below, which is being featured here with her permission.
