Book Art :: Georgia Russell


Some of the creations of Georgia Russell are quite interesting. There is a lot of content on the gallery site so keep browsing to make sure you see the really cool ones. LINK

I love how Cara Barer has managed to find a new way to view bound materials. Some are really quite beautiful. And it appears that much of the color in many of them, is part of the original printing. See more at her site. LINK

Some uniques uses of books as a canvas. From individual pages to full walls of book creation. Check out his site for more. LINK

Money Celebrities


I'm sure some of you have seen this exercise done with "the queen" from British currency and everyday people. But these combinations are even more alluring because they combine likenesses with which we are all familiar. LINK

Souvenirs :: Michael Hughes


These images have also been posted under the title "The World In Your Hand". Michael Hughes has taken dozens of photos of souvenirs and postcards cleverly juxtaposed against their real life settings. Check them all out at his flicker site. LINK

Graffiti Archaeology


A very cool site that shows photographs of popular graffiti sites layered over each other over time. Use the timeline at the bottom of the window to navigate each site. It's amazing to see repeated attempts to remove the graffiti fail so quickly. LINK

Clean Graffiti :: Symbollix


This group actually sells it's services, creating clean graffiti, cleaning the dirt off rather than adding paint to. Check out the personal gallery at their site as well as some of their commercial projects. LINK

MetaBiotica :: Alexander Orion


This guy combines stencil graffiti with people on the street in some really original photography. Check out all of them at his site. Click on MetaBiotica. LINK

Another project from Alexander Orion, clean graffiti. For this project, he cleaned the walls of a tunnel. More pictures at his site. Click on Ossario. LINK

Tape Art :: BUFFdiss

BUFFdiss uses many types of tape, working indoors and out, and uses tape as a medium in itself or as a stencil tool. It appears that BUFFdiss worked with others to create some of these, adding to the variety in style. Lots of cool pictures at the Flicker page. LINK

B-SIDE

A new take on graffiti, decorating the backs of street signs. Unfortunately, aside from this one, the photographs don't zoom in very close.
