levi_van_veluw


The Dutch artist Levi Van Veluw is known for using the human head as a canvas for his art. In his early
works, he drew on himself with ballpoint pens, decorated his head like a miniature landscape or covered his head in rocks... Weirdo! His newly released 2009 self-portraits are comprised of two series, one using flexible lights and one using hair.

happy_clouds




Couple days ago Stuart Semple released 2057 pink smiley faced clouds in London. He wanted to cheer up the people. They were made of helium, biodegradable soap and vegetable dye. After 30 minutes they dissolved in the air! umm...We need to go to London!!

Animal Collective’s “Merriweather Post Pavilion”

I'm not a huge fan of the Animal Collective, based on the fact that they just rip off the Beach Boys and use electronics, but the new record cover for Merriweather Post Pavilion is awesome. The cover was inspired by the work of a Japanese professor in Kyoto named Akiyoshi Kitaoka. Most likely you have seen these before and chances are he created it. He calls his work Anomalous Motion Illusion.

sliding_house




hahah.. this is rad.

London architects dRMM have designed a house with mobile walls and roof that can be moved to cover and uncover parts of the dwelling. The mobile element, which is 28 metres long and weighs 50 tons, move along rails set into the ground. “the Sliding House is an extended bravura performance of life-enhancing design possibilities”.

knitta_pleaseee



^Theresa Honeywell's work reflects her interests in the “manly arts” with a feminine twist. haha, I love it.


^It reminds me of when Kris and I were all in to knitting because we wanted to join forces with this hippy-esc group call knittaplease. It's soo rad. Check out the site. Basically it's a tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles to public monuments and utility poles.

jeff_soto



Jeff Soto is an awesome artist that went to school and lives in SoCal. My friend interviewed him for a piece we did for our school magazine a while back. He's a interesting person and is maninly involved in the Pop-Surrealism movement. He has shown his paintings and installations throughout the United States and internationally..pretty cool!
