Pourquoi tant de temps? Essentiellement car à ma vie personnelle et professionnelle sont devenues relativement complexes. Pas mal de changements plus ou moins heureux m'ont éloigné de la blogosphère. Ensuite parce qu'à force de regarder pendant des heures des folios et des créations, je ne fini par plus rien voir du tout. Comme certain d'entre vous le savent, j'ai deux métiers : galeriste et graphiste, un pied dans l'art et l'autre dans la com', deux métiers pas forcément miscibles, même si au prime abord ils semblent de la même veine. J'avais (pour ceux d'entre vous qui me suive) un portfolio en flash. J'ai donc cherché une soluce à mon problème. Ce CMS n'est pas parfait, loin s'en faut, il n'a aucun rapport avec ceux que je connais (dotclear, typolight) mais il est parfaitement adapté aux artistes, photographes, illustrateurs...

OK Great 3D Blueprint Art: Visual House Plans into Real-Life Models For those of us who love the look of classic blueprints this is a childhood fantasy world come to life – a strange and surreal mixtures of two-dimensional scale drawing and full-sized furniture and structural objects emerging from these flat surfaces. In places, this installation by Ou Studio (via Dezeen) is entirely drawn – but it still engages with a curious contextual interplay with surrounding objects, such as the tree and imagined area behind the wall in the image above. In other parts, this artwork takes on a fanciful life of its own as the objects start to animate along the base blue wall, seemingly in various phases of becoming physical and organizing from chaos according to some kind of plan. The net result is whimsical, creative and original – yet it still traces its roots back to one of the most logical, rational and common systems used for ages within the architectural industry: the pervasive blueprint.
fabien veançon illustrateur & affichiste NOT CONTENT The Second Holly Grove, between Avalon and Money, Mississippi, 2013 An extract from my notes on the 5th of February - 'Leaving Granada we came across an old store front near Holcomb, MS, and stopped to photograph it - the first of many finds of the day. Next we passed through Avalon, hometown of Mississippi John Hurt, which consisted of little more than a few houses, a few empty shacks, a gin warehouse (abandoned), and plenty of fields. -Alex Howard DIY Sweater pillows - cozy up!
