Sensibilities - Myths and Legends of Russia: the Illustrations

Let us have more pictures, shall we? Several of us are experiencing December blues and quite unable to rouse ourselves to the spirit of the season. I hope these may provide a few moments' entertainment at the very least. I never did manage to post these illustrations here. Cross-posted at told_tales and storybookland I feel so silly and awkward sometimes, posting these things in communities; especially having to sign off with my name as the illustrator. 'She waved her right hand, and lakes and woods appeared; she waved her left hand, and various birds began to fly about'Illustration for The Frog Princess. 'I'm Rumbling Thunder! 'Ivashko too walked and walked, and met the three-headed dragon'Illustration for The Three Kingdoms. ‘The fox is carrying me away … Cat Cotonaevich, rescue me!’ Unlike that tale, however, in which Chanticleer manages to outwit the fox in the end, this one does not end happily for the cock. This is one of two of the earliest illustrations which I completed.

Apocalyptic Sculptures by Kris Kuksi Kris Kuksi is a 36-year-old sculptor from Missouri, USA. His sculptures are created out of discarded toys, old mechanical parts and other tossed away items. The sheer amount of detail within is work is truly incredible. According to Kuksi’s artist statement, his work is “feeling that he has always belonged to the ‘Old World’. In any case, Kuksi’s mindblowingly detailed toy sculptures remind us that trash and discarded materials can be refashioned into nearly anything we want. somefield escape into life Video: H.R. Giger x Pioneer ::: Pink Tentacle 19 Mar 2010 + Video A monster designed by H.R. Giger starred in a 1985 Japanese commercial for the Zone home entertainment system by Pioneer. The biomechanical beast -- which was also featured in a series of print ads that ran at the same time -- appears to be based on illustrations Giger made for underground filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's screen adaptation of "Dune," which never made it to production.

"Inspection" - ink, watercolor and gouache on bristol paper - 14" x 17" Artwork © Lawrence Yang 2009 my blog | my site | purchase inquiries Artist/Naturalist Andy Goldsworthy Artist/Naturalist Pages Andy Goldsworthy 1956 - Andy Goldsworthy is a brilliant British artist who collaborates with nature to make his creations. Besides England and Scotland, his work has been created at the North Pole, in Japan, the Australian Outback, in the U.S. and many others Goldsworthy regards his creations as transient, or ephemeral. He photographs each piece once right after he makes it. "I enjoy the freedom of just using my hands and "found" tools--a sharp stone, the quill of a feather, thorns. "Looking, touching, material, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. "I want to get under the surface. "Movement, change, light, growth and decay are the lifeblood of nature, the energies that I I try to tap through my work. "The underlying tension of a lot of my art is to try and look through the surface appearance of things. Note 1: Books by Andy Goldsworthy include A Collaboration with Nature; Stone;Wood; Passages, and others. top of page
