Zoomed in Food :: Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle

There are a ton of photographers creating images of miniatures in odd places. This duo of Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle have done some good examples working with food. LINK

Sugar :: Rachel Whiteread

This installation is HUGE. And its all made out of sugar. Check out more images on flickr. LINK

Salt :: Motoi Ymamoto

This guy creates some incredible textural works of art in salt. This is a close up of a piece that actually fills a room. See more. LINK

Healthy London

Check out this edible version of the London skyline commissioned by the Good Food Channel.

You can read a bit about it and see some still photos. LINK

Or watch the model builders in action in video. LINK

Food Comes to Life

This is one of my favorite stop-action animations. It feels a bit like old Disney creations. LINK

Hand-Cut Ledgers :: Jill Sylvia

I love it when a unique concept comes around. Though many of these works are a few years old, there is a wonderful textural quality from her hand cutting pages from ledger books, seen on their own, or to create her structural pieces including the white house, capitol, and the treasury building. Pretty amazing. See them all at her site. LINK

Dollar Art :: Scott Campbell

Though many of tattoo artist Scott Campbell's dollar-cut artworks are religious in their content, the artistry is still worth checking out. See more under the Art category on his website. LINK

Money Folder :: Won Park

A few examples of some good money folding can be found in this flickr photostream. LINK

Money Art :: Justine Smith

Justine Smith does some different things with money, flowers, maps, objects, typography. See them all at her site. LINK

Defaced Money

Some are better than others in this compilation of defaced money. LINK

Organic Drawings :: Yellena James

I'm not sure if it's the color palettes or the irregular shapes that draw me to Yellena James' drawings but they are worth checking out at her site. LINK

Arboretum

Do you remember this Sears ad from a few years back showing tools blossoming in the garden? If not, it's worth watching again. LINK

Time after Time :: Ori Gersht

If I remember correctly, this artist first freezes the flower arrangements before blowing them up and photographing them. See more at the Mummery+Schnelle gallery site. LINK

Digital Flowers :: Macoto Murayama

Some cool digital flowers. LINK

Glass Flowers :: Blaschka

Begun as a hobby, crafting glass flowers became a paying gig for father-and-son glass sculptors Rudolf and Leopold Blaschka when Harvard commissioned them to create over 3,000 plant and flower models for their botany students. Read more about them at the Curious Expeditions site. LINK

Or see the flickr set. LINK

Also previously posted here, An Ocean of Glass by the Blaschkas. LINK

Big Buck Bunny :: Peach Open

A well-done animation with plenty of character. LINK

Kung Fu Bunny :: Vincent

This is my favorite of these animated short films, the third in a series. It is part stop-action animation, part illustrated. LINK

Red Rabbit :: Shape Minds

I'd be curious to learn what the rabbit might be a metaphor for in this animated clip. LINK

Egg City

This egg stacking display in China was made entirely from raw eggs without any adhesives. LINK

Egg Carving

Check out some examples of some pretty extreme egg carving. LINK

Bad Eggs :: The Jupiter Drawing Room

These are rather clever illustrations for an advertising campaign for eggs. There appear to be two series.
The horror movie villains can be seen at the creative firm's site. LINK
The political villains can be found at adpunch. LINK
