Ukrainian born Mark Khaisman studied art and architecture in Moscow, he now lives and works in Philadelphia where he creates these beautiful and studious Tapeworks canvases. He spends hours to recreate photographs and movie scenes only using scotch tape!

I love these colorful recycled toys sculptures by UK based sculptor/artist Robert Bradford, made from discarded plastic items on wood. The objects are mainly toys but there are also other colorful plastic bits and pieces, such as combs and buttons, brushes and parts of clothes pegs…

Recycling is not his primary concern, but each sculpture certainly keeps quite a few pieces from becoming landfill. Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3,000 toys and sell for around $20,00 (£12,000).

Thomas Keeley’s art is provoking and highly thought driven. His interpretations of everyday objects transforms them into witty concepts that anyone with a bit of sense of humor can thoroughly enjoy.
“I tend to work in three dimensions… It’s more rewarding for me… and most of my concepts demand it. I’ve always been interested in objects. They have a unique ability to be very subjective while maintaining impartiality… they can be deeply personal for the individual while remaining unbiased… so they leave a lot of room for interpretation.” – said Keeley.

Cigarettes are to Brian Viveros‘ chicas’ lips as heavily mascara’d eyelashes are to their eyes — absolutely necessary and essential to their fetish-fueled rebellious masochistically hedonistic lifestyle and look. Black eyes and bruises, blood and bandaids, cigarettes and scissors, bullets and bustiers, tights and tattoos, flowers and fingers, military and mickey mouse — love her lust her, she’s far from lackluster with the most luscious of lips. There is an obvious sense of self-destruction and pain in these gals but instead of it hurting them or rendering them vulnerable, they do it and take it with utmost bravery and pride. That’s just how they live.

One can say without a doubt that Swedish artist Linnea Strid’s forte is painting water in a way that confuses the onlooker as to whether the piece they are looking at is a photograph or a painting. Strid must have studied water in so much depth [mentally, visually, and physically alike] that she knows it inside and out. It seems as if she knows all of its characteristics and behaviors like one would know their best friend. Linnea knows when it moves, how it moves, where it moves, why it moves, and in turn truly moves all people that view her work.

Wow, how amazingly inspirational are the curvy Pin-ups of George Petty ! He was one of the top “cheesecake” illustrators of the 30s and 40s. He began his career with a series of cartoons featuring beautiful girls and their far from handsome beaus. His work coined the term “Petty Girls“ to describe the carefully airbrushed girls with brilliant smiles and sexy poses. SO kitsch and so beautiful, I always deeply loved Pin-ups !
