Artist, Justin Bettman, Channels Wes Anderson in His Pop Up Street Sets

•••

New York City residents wandering the Big Apple’s mean streets might suddenly find themselves on the set of a Wes Anderson flick – or, at least, a carefully curated replica of one. That’s because photographer Justin Bettman is in the midst of an art project paying homage to the outlandish director’s immediately recognizable style. #Setinthestreet [...]

For the love of creation: enter the mind of artist Mallory Lucille Rose

•••

The mind of an artist is a work of art in and of itself. Creativity touches us all differently, and the method to an artist’s madness is a life-long journey and self-discovery project. What inspires one artist is white noise for another. That’s the beauty in art – our unique experiences shape our perceptions of it; it transcends any concrete notion, a mallea[...]

Michael Zelehoski Flattens Reality

•••

We would find beauty in everything around us if only we stopped to look for it. But immersed as we are in a virtual reality and bombarded with an assortment of goods, we hardly notice the objects around us—the everyday quotidian "things" like crates and palettes that we use, discard, and forget. NY artist Michael Zelehoski has taken it upon himself to carry [...]

Graffiti Artist to Fly Fisherman: Brendon Elerick Leaves the Bay for the Big Sky

•••

It was 3 o’clock on a cold winter morning, and Brendon Elerick and his friends were out tagging. They were in Downtown Berkeley, on the corner of the bustling Ashby Bart station, when they spotted their next hit — a 3-story building covered with wooden lattices. The group scrambled up the side of the building onto a balcony. They had just finished hitting[...]

Wild Souls Unleashed In A Concrete Jungle: The Art of Man One

•••

Drive along a Southern California freeway, say the 110 out of LAX or the 5 south from Hollywood. Take an offramp late at night, spiral down a cloverleaf, and come to an intersection where a concrete wall confronts you with a savagely beautiful face made of angles and colors. You couldn't be any more startled than if you'd been beating brush by machete throug[...]

Painter Shannon Stovall’s imagery does just that—prompting viewers to challenge their perspective through vibrant colors, odd dimensions and bold details. Her focus lies in exploring the[...]

Barking and Dagenham's Museum on Wheels

•••

Verity-Jane Keefe has a vision for Barking and Dagenham, London, UK, and she's throwing a Kickstarter for it. It's pretty modest by Kickstarter standards; it needs £7K ($9066.86 USD) and it's assembled £4.6K ($7508.63 USD) of that total already. The project is a mobile museum, starting from a converted mobile library van - but the project has a unique tw[...]

Boobs, honey pots and fannies

•••

Boobs, honey pots and fannies. As a presentation of lovely lady bits, painter Morgan Miller delves into anti traditional classic portraiture in drastic crops and angles, imparting an undoubtedly intimate visual effect. Peach and tea rose tones against cerulean backdrops and celeste tunics—soft, blended oils form bare breasts from under shirts, feathered bums[...]

Lucien Shapiro's Art Delves Into Destruction and Rebuilding

•••

Teetering between life and death, past and present, old and new, mixed media artist, Lucien Shapiro constructs a hauntingly evocative kingdom of sculptures delving into identity, addiction and time. Powerfully seductive, his pieces incorporate multifaceted elements of large conceptual ideas that are as terrifyingly dark as they are absolutely beautiful. Shap[...]
