Collection of Works from Sculptor Hirotoshi Ito
The combination of a sublime skill set and a playful imagination is one that has won so many of us previously by the likes of Dali, Warhol and in more recent times Damien Hirst. The art of surrealism reminds us all that the impossible is plausible which is why this playful set of sculptures from Jap
Sculptures by Erik Thommesen
It seems like I've been unleashed into a furniture frenzy lately so when I came across these sculptures by the great artist that is Erik Thommesen I had to fit them into the schedule somewhere. Although I'm not technically an "art" sort of guy I do get drawn in to different forms mixed with a variet
Yasuaki Onishi by Mark & Angela Walley
As many of you may already know I'm quite a big fan of the filming style of Mark and Angela Walley, I'm just glad they're equally adept at sourcing out some really innovative artists like Yasuaki Onishi who features in this film of theirs that I'm sharing today. I've not come across Yasuaki before b
Peter Shire: Cups 1974 – 2012 by Eric Minh Swenson
The good folks at South Willard put me onto this fantastic video based on Los Angeles based artist Peter Shire. Funnily enough last week I was actually browsing Peter’s website and it struck me how playful and comedic his work is, it’s great to know that he doesn’t take life too seriously and
In the Make by Klea McKenna and Nikki Grattan
Continuing on from yesterday's post on the ever so talented Leslie Williamson I decided I would point out another series which has caught my attention this week. I'm a massive fan of studio visits and this website that I found titled "In the Make" is basically heaven in terms of photography and cont
People Watching, Jesse Schlesinger by Leslie Williamson
Many of you may know that we released a nice in-depth interview with photographer Leslie Williamson over the weekend, I was really honoured to have the chance to speak to Leslie, I’m a big admirer of her work and she’s a great person as well (added bonus!). So this morning when I woke up and hea
Collection of Works from Regis Brodie
I thought I'd stick with craft again after sharing wood turner Jonathan Leech with you all last time around. Today I was impressed with the multifaceted nature of creative Regis Brodie's work, so I've brought across a selection as a nod of appreciation to the Pittsburgh based artist, potter, sculpto
A look Inside the Sukima Studio
I'll be honest here and admit I don't know an awful lot about the Sukima Studio in Denmark, but I enjoyed these photos of their working space all the same so I've brought them across as a little nod of appreciation to their craft. What I do know is that their small team dedicates itself to creating
Short Film on Sculptor Lance Dooley
Late last night I really enjoyed watching this filmed piece which introduces American artist and sculptor Lance Dooley, so I promised myself that come the morning I would return to it and share this with everyone here. The artist himself is somewhat of a traveller and you can tell this has had a mas
Cy Twombly Sculptures
This weekend I spent much of my time working, luckily enough for me though my job tends to revolve around research and I love taking in different information about creatives and designers. I recently talked about the new additions to my bookshelf in a previous post which included the likes of Ludwig
Admiring the Work of Sculptor Richard Serra
Over the Christmas period I came across the work of Richard Serra through an insightful book that follows his achievements over the past forty years. So I thought we’d mark this new found interest in his creations with a follow up post here on the site as some of his works are really quite astound
Empress of the North Animation by Drew Christie
Evening all, if you'd like to join me in watching this little animation by Drew Christie which is packed full of character and atmosphere. If you're a regular here you'll know we are big fans of anything handmade, so this sombre animation was just the tonic needed on what has turned out to be quite
