Nooo! Don’t squoooosh me!

An interactive and oh-so-fun installation by Chris O’Shea! Warning: Unsuspecting pedestrians will be tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by a giant deity.

Fragile yet beautiful. Luke Jerram’s glass sculptures of microbes take the ewe out of killer bacteria like E.Coli and makes them appealing and alluring. I especially love his human scale versions of the sculptures!

This series of images by Chris Jordan is so poignant and powerful it makes me turn my stomach. Read more about the Great Garbage Patch on Wikipedia. What the hell have we done.

Quoted from the site
“These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.

To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.”

Animal hair styles made from hair-raising Nagi Noda. A brilliant Japanese artist who has unfortunately had an early demise.

Beautiful gauche works from a brilliant Reed Danziger.

You know the giant who lost her knits a few posts back? Well she is sure a forgetful giant as she dropped both her earrings on the streets of Amsterdam.via today and tomorrow

An interesting medium to convery a very simple message. I like it here too! See it here.

Yu Jinyoung has a series of really really creey see thru transparent dolls that look so delicate and beautiful and yet so strange, all at the same time.

Anish Kapoor’s Svayambh is a big giant red block of wax and paint moving slowly through the hallways of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes. What results is a block carved from being push through the hallways, leaving steaks of red and chucks of itself along the way. This is amazingly beautiful!

Stephan Balleux makes plaster casts of people’s faces and covers them with sticky oil paint before photographing and then painting them.

Poignant and powerful messages presented in a simple, clear and understandable voice. Brilliant! See more here.

“Form is all we have to help us cope with fundamentally chaotic facts and assaults”

hmmm…yeah, ok, not so sure about that, but I DO like something about these painted photographs by Gerhard Richter.

Yes! This is the colour of art. #A79F94. Calculated by Josh Nimoy from more than 26,000 images in the MoMA art collection. And the result? A brownish gray! Wahahahaha….that art is going on my wall!

You know how there is this piece of suede that the couch is made of and you can run your fingers over it and create little patterns? Well apparently Giles Miller did. So he expanded the concept and created this amazing hanging wallpiece where you could stroke to your heart’s content!

In a relatively short span, two fashion big shots, Maison Martin Margiela and Christian Louboutin has announced glass slippers. Both unwearable but both equally beautiful. Which will you lose on the steps of the grand ballroom for your Prince Charming to find when the clock strikes 12?

Esther Stocker is a prolific Italian-born artist with an amazing gift for spatial disruption with simple graphic elements. A real treat for any graphic designer!

Simple idea to create some messy comfort! A rug made out of shoelaces?! Make your own or buy it here.

Martin Wilson is brilliant. Simply. He uses 35mm film as pixels and creates typographic masterpieces. See more at his website.

Always wanted a Damien Hirst print but could never find a place to buy them? Now you and your 20,000 pounds are in luck! Especially so if you are, like me, in love with the Cathedral prints. Buy yourself one here.
