accumulated numbness

i certainly feel a connection to this portfolio: katie lewis, largely because we seem to have a preoccupation with the same technique and the same/similar materials, although our approach and views on ‘the why & the how’ are wholly different, katie is an ‘artist’ and has a ‘purpose’, i am certainly not an artist and my purpose is ‘random’ at the very best… the means but no specific end… but i hasten to add that i do really like her stuff

many thanks to my friend good old pal pam from ‘the motor’ blog for the ‘i bet you like this one’ tip

(nope, you were right… i had never heard of her x… thanks)

highbrow bunny

i had spotted this poster earlier this week, but the chaps from the ‘amsterdam ad blog’ beat me to posting it: lovely idea for the exhibition’ miffy discovers the rijksmuseum‘, the only problem is the rest of the poster… what a waste to spoil such a good idea/strong image with that layout… no idea who made it, anybody?

je suis un rockstar

as boss of columbia records ‘mike smith’ had unique access to many famous musicians during the past two decades, he made a collection of simple sketches of them on and off stage which are currently on show in london

the series is due to be released later this year in book form and several more of them can also be seen here

paper tiger

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
