Toy Sculptures: Robert Bradford

Robert Bradford creates sculptures from toys and toy parts. The mix of colors, shapes and objects make them pure eye candy. I think framed photographs of these engaging sculptures would be a lot of fun for a kid's room.

You can see many more delightful sculptures at his website.

Jen Stark is Ripped Off by Banana Republic

Jen Stark's art has been featured and talked about a lot - and for good reason. The paper cutout art she creates from numerous layers of colorful paper are mesmerizing to look at. Although the premise underlying her paper sculpture work is simple enough to make us think 'hey, why didn't I think of that', it's still a signature technique that has become synonymous with Jen Stark's name.

Yet recently she was ripped off. Banana Republic's new store in London featured large-scale replicas of Jen's work with only the colors changed. Since the concept is very simple in premise (can someone actually 'own' the look of folded down circles or diamonds in multiple graduated layers?) It's obvious the window dress designer(s) were aware of Jen's work when creating these installations. How could they have gone ahead with this concept without a trademark lawyer's guidance?

Banana Republic will hear from Jen, that's certain. I am hoping Jen will reach a positive outcome to this situation - we're great fans of her work.

Yuki's Art

I stumbled on the artwork of Yuki Nakano on theartofquitting.com. The astonishing beauty of this piece made it stand out from among the other entries there. I checked out more work from Yuki on Flickr - continue reading to see some favorite picks from Yuki's other work...

Subway Animals Come to Life

A really inventive example of street art using the most basic of materials - discarded plastic bags. The image shows a 'deflated' animal that comes to life as a subway rushes past underneath - the air from below inflates the animal. Very clever!

Andrey Gordeev

One of my favorite  Russian artists (at least I think he is Russian) is Andrey Gordeev.

Descent into the Maelstrom

Without giving you the facts about this art piece, I am sure you could assume it to be the work of a contemporary artist. However in 1919 the young Harry Clarke created this is illustration for Edgar Allan Poe's Descent into the Maelstrom. Quite brilliant.

Phil Frost

Artist Phil Frost creates some spectacular art. I could look at these for hours...
