The Mirror Man!




This is crazy! I wonder how he gets in and out of the costume without injury! I would definitely not let him sit in my leather seats in my car!

Jeff Koons



Believe it or not, these balloons are made of aluminum! I enjoy his art because it forces a reaction from the viewer, from disbelief to uneasiness. Watch a video of Jeff Koons HERE. source

A Fascination with Legos



I've had buckets and buckets of legos since I was 5. It was my favorite toy of all time. I think it's the best toy a kid can ever have. You can create anything you could possibly imagine. I'm thinking of a way I can create art with legos.. hmmm Here's ONE way.

Feeling Inspired..



I have my own clothing line that I started in 2007 with a couple friends. Johnny Cupcakes is one of my inspirations because he started out just like I am right now. Selling shirts out of the back of my first car. He is a self-made millionaire and still goes to his stores all over the US to meet and greet his loyal customers. His products are limited edition and he is a straight edge guy who doesn't drink or smoke. Just a guy who loves feeling like a kid again. If you look at one thing on his blog, it should be his Story. Read it HERE.

SEX SELLS

Sex Sells... it's everywhere.


Might as well be up front about it

This Should Be Standard In EVERY home.


Found it HERE.

HELP!

I have my tax return, i won big in vegas, and saved my lunch money :) I'm planning on buying an SLR. Preferably a Canon. I need advice on which one to get. My price range is $600-700. I'm pretty much looking for a camera that has the best bang for its buck. And takes amazing pictures with very little noise.

Clever Advertising




www.swissskydive.org and Front Line Flea Tick Spray have found new ways to market their products effectively with innovative ways of advertising. Instead of just seeing billboards upon billboards while everyone goes about their lives, we are forced to react to their ads. We either get panic attacks from our fear of heights, or we get a quick giggle as we look at people portrayed as fleas, but surely we remember their products that they are trying to sell. Kudos!

JAKE WALTERS



His work is so kinetic. I can feel the movement of the figure and the liquid/ink.

"Wig Wam"


His name is Phillip T. Annand and he is the creator of a clothing brand called The Award Tour. I'm inspired by his brand because I'm in a similar position. We're both in college and we both have clothing lines and we both have our heads deep in the clouds. Every time I look at his blog, I leave feeling inspired. A tree fell down in his backyard and he decided, "why not make something out of it rather than just cut it up and throw it out?" You can argue on whether it's art or not, but I think it's CREATIVITY at its finest.
His Website is HERE. & mine is HERE.

This is What I Call Dedication!


This looks like one of the most time consuming and most labor intensive projects that I've seen in a while. Not too much to say about it other than it's awesome! The fact that he had to paint over every part after each frame is insane. The sound effects also help in bringing these shapes and characters to life! And may I add... that's a lot of paint! Video is here.

I love the awkwardness of the characters and the narrative that they tell. I like the way that the artist uses items that can be found around the house and turn them into giant monsters. I want to know how he made these pieces because some parts look like it's a photograph of a sculpture and some parts are obviously photoshopped. I admire his playfulness of the relationships of the characters. I also get an atmospheric feel with every piece.

SYMPHONY By Erick Oh


This Video is crazy! I wonder technically how it was created, at some points it looks like stop motion. I liked the choice of music with the visuals. I like the abstract aspect of the video. The journey of the ink blot is very fun to follow! Click HERE to see the video.

This Reminds Me of My Project




This has been roaming around on the internet. Some people love it, some people hate it. I think it's an interesting design. But the scale is ridiculous. People have gone as far as calling it an abomination. I think if they were to do it at a smaller scale and maybe a different color. I also reminds me too much of the alien veins from the remake of War of The World.

Elevation by Nick Knight & Gareth Pugh





I found this on Kanye West's new blog. I like the play between positive and negative space. Seems like I can look at these forever and never be bored
