Zach Smiths Sketchbook...


http://www.zaxart.com/sketchbook/

This is Zach Smiths sketchbook, every day he uploads another image that hes drawn that day. This is a virtual sketchbook collection, a good way in my eyes to get work out there and people seeing it, as well as keeping you motivated to keep on posting. It also would make you a lot less shy about your work.

The depot project...

A old historic bus station was given over to 7 artists, this sculpture in particular i like, i like things that manipulate the everyday environment and turn it into something wierd. Its a shame that this building will be knocked down.

The future of books...

This piece is intitled the future of books, i think this is a really cool reinvention of something, its a simple idea, but by paying careful detail to all the elements it comes together and works really well.

The work of Clare Mallison...

I love this style of illustration by clare mallison, it seems sketchy but the whole thing comes together really well, and has real character, something i possibly want to aim for within my work.

Wheres wally...


Where On Earth Is Waldo?

Really fun idea, basicly this group has put a giant waldo/wally on top of a building and are waiting for it to get photographed by a satalite so that the wally shows up on google maps, clever and inventive, its a simple idea that just works really well.

Jen Stark...

Jen Stark


Jen Stark uses layers and layers of paper, intricately cut into paper sculptures. I love these, they make something thats both delicate and beautiful out of everyday materials, and the level of commitment to the work to create this is staggering. The sculptures look almost alien, i would love to see these applied over a bigger sculpture, perhaps erupting from a 3d object or somesuch.
