Des pin-up digital Le graphiste Floz a produit cette série de posters, affichant fièrement des pin-up 2.0…. Son portfolio Artist Shintaro Ohata Seamlessly Blends Sculpture and Canvas to Create 3D Paintings When first viewing the artwork of Shintaro Ohata up close it appears the scenes are made from simple oil paints, but take a step back and you’re in for a surprise. Each piece is actually a hybrid of painted canvas and sculpture that blend almost flawlessly in color and texture to create a single image. The cinematic figures are sculpted from polystyrene while the backgrounds are made from traditional painting techniques. Via his artist statement: Shintaro Ohata is an artist who depicts little things in everyday life like scenes of a movie and captures all sorts of light in his work with a unique touch: convenience stores at night, city roads on rainy day and fast-food shops at dawn etc. Ohata will have work later this year at the Akita Museum of Modern Art, and you can see much more of his work online here.

Ontario-based graphic designer Andrew Knapp invites everyone to find Momo, his strange 4.5-year-old border collie, who, unlike other dogs, would always hide when fetching sticks instead of returning them. Andrew initially started making the pictures as a gift to his nephews and nieces, but after uploading them online, the response was greatly appreciative. Andrew even started a special Find Momo blog, where the fans soon started demanding a book. This is now among Andrew’s plans, and the adorable photo shoots continue. You’d think a black and white dog must hide best when there’s snow, but it’s just as hard to spot him in any other surroundings. Website: gofindmomo.com (via) This is How Momo Looks Now Find Momo!

Frank Gehry Unveils A Series Fish Lamps Frank Gehry is best known for designing extraordinary buildings, including the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, MIT’s Ray and Maria Stat Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Vitra Design Museum. The award-winning architect’s latest project is less grand in scale, but no less amazing. Gehry revealed a series of intricate fish lamps, which are now on display at the Gagosian galleries in Paris and Beverly Hills. The lamp designs were first created between 1984 and 1986 using plastic laminate ColorCore. The new series of Fish Lamps feature larger and more jagged shards of ColoreCore. The exhibition “The Fish is a Perfect Form” can be viewed until 14 February at Gagosian Beverly Hills, and until 9 March at Gagosian Paris. Frank Gehry
Richard Prince's Stickered Figures In this collection of found pornographic black and white photographs, artist Richard Prince meticulously selects and places DVD and CD stickers onto graphic erotic images, covering the explicit sexual content with suggestive titles that give the images a fresh and previously absent depth of narrative. Prince's "rephotographs" are evocative in their new contextual environment, implying histories of exploitation, violence, personal tragedies, and individual characteristics absent in their original framework as objectified images for the pure sexual pleasure of their viewership.
Brooding Cityscapes Painted with Oils by Jeremy Mann San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Mann executes these sublime, moody cityscapes using oil paints. To create each work he relies on a wide range of techniques including surface staining, the use of solvents to wipe away paint, and the application of broad, gritty marks with an ink brayer. The resulting paintings are dark and atmospheric, urban streets seemingly drenched in rain and mystery. Mann’s work is in no way limited to cityscapes, he also paints the human figure, still lifes, and landscapes. He currently has work at John Pence Gallery and you can see many more of his cityscapes here.

Je ne vous en dis pas plus… Via See Amazing Underwater Sculptures Made Of Our Marine Trash A lot of environmentally conscious folks prefer to cut each plastic ring from their disposed-of six-packs. While the thought behind this act is certainly commendable--an effort not to entangle any fish that swim within bubbling distance of these sea shackles--it connotes a certain inevitability that is unsettling: the idea that all trash winds up in the ocean. Clearly sympathetic to the cause, scuba diving artists Mathieu Goussin and Hortense Le Calvez are making art to caution against this eventuality. Working as Forlane 6 Studio, the pair has recently taken to creating underwater tableaux that show off the afterlife of objects once they are discarded into the sea. These undulating underwater sculptures are made of chairs, streamers, pants, and hunks of random garbage like old showerheads. Each piece gives the appearance of bobbing around like car-dealership wind puppets, even though these are stills.
