Book Art :: Su Blackwell

Su Blackwell has created a whole bunch of sculptures from books, many of which incorporate natural and fairy tale themes. See them all at her website. LINK

The Bird Song Score :: Jarbas Agnelli & Paulo Pinto

A pretty little musical bit inspired by birds on electrical wires. LINK

Bird Sculptures :: Jim Mullan

I came across these years ago and was pleasantly surprised to be able to see one in person at one of my local shops that specializes in original artworks. He does a great job at decorating without going completely overboard in order create something a little magical. Check out more at the Left Bank Gallery site. LINK

Liquid Photography :: Shinichi Maruyama

Yeah, we've all seen liquid photography before but this guy seems to do a little better and go a little bigger than most. I found pleasant surprises in all of the gallery sections on his site. LINK

Fluid Sculpture :: Charlie Bucket


With a name like Charlie Bucket, he may have been destined to create liquid art. Make sure to watch the video long enough to see some of the variations when there is air in the tubes along with the liquid. LINK

Paintball Pop Art

When I first saw this, I thought I knew what to expect. But the sound and the speed were not expected. Check it out. LINK

Drawing with Water :: Emmanuel Guibert

An interesting way to get style into your illustrations! Emmanuel Cuibert created the art for his graphic novel Alan's War by first drawing with water, then adding a drop of ink that spreads. Check out the video. LINK

A Day in the Backyard :: Evol

Think this is a photograph? Check out the process video of the street artist known as Evol at work and see how it was really done. LINK

While you're there you can check out some of the other works in his Flicker photostream.

Some of his older work can be found at his site. LINK

Cardboard Shoes :: Mike Leavitt

This is actually Mike Leavitt's second appearance here, his first being some amazing action figures of artists done in their style. This time it's for a collection of cardboard shoes sculptures. See them all here. LINK

Meeting of Important People :: Britney Lane

This music video not only has the artists performing in a cardboard environment with cardboard instruments, there are also stop-action animation segments of a miniature cardboard world. LINK

Cardboard Illustrations :: Justin Case

These are some interesting illustrations on cardboard, often using the original printing found on the recycled box faces to emphasize the message of the drawings. See the flicker set here. LINK
