It’s alive and watching you
Within the world of street art, urban distortion is my favorite. Adding life and color to the objects of the everyday world from telephone booths, street signs, sidewalks to walls and large buildings might seem useless and simple, but it adds character to the cities and fun to the everyday routine. Nikita Nomerz is a [...]
Shredded dreams
For most of us, shredded paper is garbage, but for Nathalie Boutté it’s the perfect medium for creating incredible art. She takes thousands of tiny strips of recycled paper (blank paper, tissue paper, pages from books, and tracing paper) and layers them like roofing shingles to construct incredible mosaics. Up close it may be difficult to distinguish [...]
That is junk!

Handcraft me

Cardboard, paper, paints and wires, even eggshells are some of the materials that this fantastic and talented designer needs to create his projects. Kyle’s creations play with our understanding [...]

He creates a sense of realism in his work, exploring ideas and concepts, [...]
The Reduction of Venus
Venus is brought to the 21st Century by Anna Utopia Giordano , an italian multi-talented artist, who made an amazingly beautiful photoshop makeover of classic nude artworks of “Venus”. Which version do you prefer?
She is Roxy Love and she loves tex-mex.
Roxy Love or Taquitojocoque (whatever you wanna call her) definitely is one of the funniest artist I ever met, I knew her at some karaoke party but then, I got impressed by her artistic work that fluctuates the border between the tex-mex kitsch aesthetic and her love for drawing. She is about to [...]
