Took inspiration from high-resolution electron microscopic images, creating large, painstakingly accurate glass sculptures of viruses and bacteria such as HIV, E. coli, SARS, and H1N1 (Swine flu). Took over 5 years of development and research. Jerram and his collaborators created glass genomes, carefully placing them on tiny pedestals within what would become viral envelopes. They then closed up the tops before adding final touches of spikes and glycoproteins, which were shaped and melted on while keeping the whole work at roughly the same temperature. The sculptures are designed in consultation with virologists from the University of Bristol, using a combination of different scientific photographs and models.
Create a Dark Fantasy Manipulation of a Broken Girl - Photoshop Tutorial Step 1 Start by creating a new document (Ctrl+N) of 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high. I gave this document's name: broken Step 2 Set the color of the foreground to #365a53 and the background to #7fb4af. Now activate the Gradient Tool on the tool panel. Step 3 Now open the stock picture on the document from which we are going to get the grass texture used to create the field for the image. Step 4 We will scale and place the size of the grass to fit the one as needed. Step 5 Now mask the top part of the grass and then set it to normal blending at 36% opacity Step 6 I decided to add more grass texture to the image. Step 7 Once we have cut out the grass, (I named this layer for this grass grass2 on the layer panel) go to Image > Adjustment > Match Color. Step 8 After matching the color, mask the grass2 on the upper part. Step 9 Open the other stock image. Step 10 Duplicate (Ctrl+J) the path layer and place the duplication in the right side of the canvas. Step 11 Step 12 Step 13 Step 14 Step 15 Step 16

Truly Inspired Traditional Black and White Drawings Many people think that the tradition artwork will die in the time of digital life. Actually, the digital art is just another trend of the art development through the history. Unlike the digital computer arts, the traditional pencils and colors give you a physical sense of the artwork that you can touch and walk around. The sculpture is one of the traditional arts’ examples that cannot be replaced with a digital version or digital sculpture. The black and white artwork using the pencils and the charcoal is one of the challenging forms or art that uses only the gray colors to visualize the scene and ideas based on the light and shadows.

Stunning Surrealism by Eric Fortune (15 total) If someone could look into our dreams and paint what they see, I'm sure that would be artist Eric Fortune. Creating beautiful worlds using acrylic on watercolor paper, Fortune has his heroes and heroines jumping off bridges and wading through murky water. Look closely at some of his paintings and you'll even notice something slightly off - sliced body parts. Fortune describes these as "a kind of a metaphor for pain or hardship...manifested physically." In fact, Fortune's mysterious paintings are filled with stories about our relationship within ourselves and between others. They're about the challenges we strive to overcome and the hardships we daringly face. His art has been described as "quiet yet dynamic, and seasoned with a touch of surrealism that takes us to captivating places, beyond our everyday experience but filled with truth...They are characters wrapped in their own worlds." What's Fortune's creative process like? Eric Fortune
Minas Tirith Made From Matchsticks | 10 Times One Minas Tirith was always the better Minas. Not because good is better than evil which can actually be debated, and not because it looks cooler, which can also be argued against. But because it’s the capital of Gondor, dude! And you can’t dispute that. For the 3 of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, Minas Tirith is the legendary site of the final battle between the dark forces of Sauron and everyone else in Middle Earth. 8So anyway, just to prove he was a bigger fan of Lord of the Rings than anyone else in the world, a local man from Iowa decided he’d recreate the castle city as it was visualized by Peter Jackson’s theatrical design crew (but not necessarily as staunch Tolkien fans might have done it), and with painstaking detail he came up with this simply amazing piece of work. This incredible labor of fantasy love is the work of Patrick Acton, an artist and avid LOTR fan, who also by the way rendered Harry Potter’s Hogwarts in a similar vein.

Rafal Olbinski What Others are Saying: Known for his lyrical surrealistic imagery in Poland, where surrealism is not merely an artistic conceit but a visual language, Olbinski has imbued his work with a distinct metaphoric structure while at the same time his paintings exhibit the representational virtuosity of the nineteenth century American painters Thomas Eakins and Robert Henri. Rafal Olbinski proves that although as a medium it may have one foot in the past, it¥s other is firmly placed in the present, if not the future. – Steve Heller, A Senior Art Director of The New York Times Poetic humor is a quality rarely found in the fine arts. Rafal Olbinski has this gift. Rafal Olbinski on Ten Dreams Rafal Olbinski on Patinae, Inc. Sandy Noble’s Polargraph Drawing Machine I was checking out some photos emerging from this weekend’s Interesting 2011 conference held in London (there was a world record attempt at ping pong ball mouse trap nuclear fission, among other things) when I stumbled onto a portrait of the group’s organizer Russel Davies being drawn with a very strange device. It turns out the robotic drawing machine was built by maker/designer/craftsman Sandy Noble and he calls it a Polargraph which is really nothing more than a pen attached to string that’s moved by two small motors. With an assist from good ‘ole gravity and some clever software the pen arcs back and forth, similar to a standard back-and-forth plotter printer, creating the beautifully textured drawings above. Drawing machines are certainly nothing new, what with Harvey Moon’s Drawing Machine that successfully debuted on Kickstarter last year, and even Eske Rex’s enormous weight balanced spirograph drawing machine.
