I can see in fashion that designers are mixing punk rock style with clean and dapper style. I like it! I found these here.

Squeeze Me -Kraak & Smaak


I love the concept of the video! Reminds me of all the times I stole post it pads from the my high school's supply room just so I can make stick figure flip books in math class. Watch video HERE.

Toby Burrows


I like the composition and the atmosphere of the photograph. The weighlessness of the figure is connected to its atmosphere. It reminds me of Julia Fullerton-Batten's work

Zaha Hadid



She is a very famous Indian architect and is know for her liquified looking buildings. Her work is very futuristic looking and inspires me to do whatever I want with my art. Im sure that many traditional architects did not like her building designs because sometimes they did not look like buildings at all. They looked more like twisted and melting metal. These were the traits that makes her work so unique and interesting to me.

Andreas Gursky



I first saw Gursky's work in Photography class today. This first reminds me of a Jackson Polluck painting.He altered the colors of the traders suits in the the image with photoshop. Gursky, was one of the first artists that used the computer to alter his photographs. The second one is interesting because i learned that to able to get this shot, they had to take out some of the windows. It ended up selling for millions of dollars. Ironic how a picture of a 99cents store sold for millions of bucks. It also shows that even something as commercial as a dollar store can be seen as art. You can google Gursky's work to find out more about him.

Brian Donnelly aka KAWS


Brian Donnelly started out as a graffiti artist who is now a respected artist all over the world. I like his art because it makes me feel like a kid again! He often altered the Simpsons and Spongebob Squarepants. He also is known for putting his characters with fashion models and iconic people. I like how his characters look like they have a believable relationships with the people around them. His blog is here.
