LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in 1949. Mili showed the artist some of his photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark—and Picasso’s mind began to race. The series of photographs that follows—Picasso’s light drawings—were made with a small flashlight in a dark room; the images vanished almost as soon as they were created. [via LIFE]

Its seems the creative duo loves to create colorful ‘textile sculptures’ and playing with textural layering.

Petros Chrisostomou giant photography manipulation is amusing – he likes to play with scales. Chrisostomou takes objects with which we are all too familiar with – a high-heeled shoe or two, some eggs, a head of blonde hair – and he plays with scale to such an extent that they look monstrously large in their contexts. The perfectly ordinary object becomes wholly extraordinary, ” i’m in the connection between the real and the unreal, the physical and the non -physical”, said the artist. He has also won the Royal Academy/Land Securities award for 2009, which will give him free studio space at 48 Oxford Street in London for a year, and an exhibition in June.

The creator Mia Morikawa likes to think of her KA/POW/WOW neckpieces as “little wearable sculptures… Strap on art!!” These wearable sculptures are inspired by jacobian ruffs & natural structures such as: fruit & coral and are earth friendly as well. Mia uses Freecycle to obtain some materials. She also purchases scraps from other designers, textile factories and thrift stores as often as she can. One of these will make any outfit stand out in a crowed.
The Travels of Bad is an exhibition at Rooke gallery in Johannesburg which features multiple installations by Zander Blom.
Artist’s statement: The Travels of bad is essentially a satire that looks critically at the influence that exotic cultures and their artifacts have had on the avant-garde system of European visual art from the end of the 19th century onwards.The critique comes in the shape of mini-novella that is illustrated by a series of photographic works and accompanied by a pseudo rock-opera type symphonic drone thrash metal rock album.
WormIntruder (aka ShiloJenz) is a ‘Digital Collage’ Artist, her work is basically to “recycled some digital cutouts to concoct this “response collage”. She is a true collector of art.” I have been scavenging the net for over 13 years, fulfilling a quest to discover every ounce of greatness in which the term ‘ART’ offers.
Most of them with a sexy touch and weirdness, WormIntruder have some amazing full page collages like this one here, where you can lost yourself for a little while scrolling the huge size artwork and looking some interesting details… See her flickr for more artwork

“Got wood?” asks Nicola Barnes in our latest poster. Well, Michael T Rea does. The Chicagoan carves space shuttles, time machines, and machine guns from humble timber. His work appears to be an odd mixture of devotion and revulsion towards modern technology, which he interprets in great detail without reference to photos or models.
Sydney-based artist, Brian Walker is a contemporary digital artist whose images explore and exploit the realm between fantasy and reality, recreating scenes that meld illustration and fashion with an element of surprise. Pop Culture inspired, its an interesting world of fashion mixed with half-women, half dolls in provocative, disturbing and unlikely situations.
Chris Acheson realism paintings are pretty amazing. The Manchester born artist have a great talent to paint reflection, ever single piece he have looks like photography, but they are all oil painted on canvas. Inspired by everyday life, Acheson’s compositions range from the mundane local café to the gaudy splendor of Piccadilly Circus. Chris doesn’t have a website ( or I didn’t find it), he is one of those Myspace Artist, you find randomly… See more of his art here
Based in melbourne, Australia Jeremy Geddes is an amazing artist who aims to portray extremes of emotion in his work. His paintings are highly realistic portraying, (personally to me they looks like pictures) unusual sights or a series of characters that are at times frightening. He is also well known for illustrating the comic Doomed - Check also his blog for his latest news…

Milan based painter Valerio Carrubba is an extreme hyperrealism painter. The paintings are Dali inspired, tho he has some pure beauty work that are already in some big collectors homes. Some of his works are painted twice; one brushstroke lying on top of the other. This double painting emphasizes the colors and repeats the form in order not to describe them but almost to deny them. His work is Absolutely stunning and disturbing. Love it !
