the paper sculptures by jeff nishinaka are worth a mention for their sheer crftsmanship alone… although i must admit that i do find the illustration style a bit too traditional, even old fashioned… but have a look and judge for yourself
update: by chance i just came across another guy with similar work: calvin nicholls
nice ‘life in pictures’ slideshow on the life of enigmatic painter (one of my all-time favourites): the recently deceased lucian freud, i especially like the lower image here by ‘david dawson’; shot with an analogue camera but even on closer inspection it still looks like an oil painting in itself…
we are currently putting the finishing touches to the fifth and last volume of the ‘top 100’ project by artist davide bertocchi, the posters/CD covers arrived back from the printers today, more news soon…
…a book printed through a printing chain made of four desktop printers using four different colors and technologies dated from 1880 to 1976. A production process that brings together small scale and large scale production, two sides of the same history…
great little project just in time from french artist ‘xavier antin’ using a stencil duplicator, spirit duplicator, laser printer and an inkjet printer to create a custom ‘cmyk’ printing device (via ‘jarr’)
i came across this amusing looking project on facebook called ‘opera #8’ which recently took place at the ‘kröller müller’ museum near arnhem, involving peepholes in newspapers and audio effects (or perhaps opera music?) it is from local artist ‘willum geerts’: the same guy who made that hilarious dutch national flag, his website doesn’t yet mention the project so i can’t provide any proper information other than the images shown here…
