Arty Things 3

The biggest issue yet! Here is more arty things that my travels on the internet have brought. I really hope you enjoy. And please let me know what you think!

Caricature Map of Europe 1912
If Social Studies had maps like this, I think that I’d not only understand it better, but actually have an interest in it! Be sure to read the explanation of why each country has it’s certain visual

Portrait Sculptures by Philippe Faraut
-Done in clay, I think, these sculptures of human faces look scary real. The detail and animate nature of these is unbelievable.

Raw with Love by Charles Bukowski
-Everyone needs a little more literature in their life. Poems are great for that. They’re like bite sized snacks. This poem, I found, was particularly haunt.

Hacked Stop Signs
-I count this as performance art. You’ll never look at a stop sign the same again. ... “Don’t stop believin’!”

Optical Illusions
- Not your ‘which line is shorter’ type of illusions but paintings that happen to be two things at once. Well worth the time it takes to figure out what you’re looking at.

Begging Robot by Pawel Hynek
-It’ll either make you laugh or make you think. Either way, the detail makes this computer creation seem like a real photograph.

Lorenz Butterfly
-Art from physics? Impossible! But when done like this, it’s mezmerizing to watch a work of art come from gravity.

Harbin Snow and Ice Festival
- The most epic snowmen you’ve ever seen! Try to guess which entries comes from which country. That, and a light up ice palace? I know where everyone’s going over the next winter break

Fantasy art of Jason Engle
-What can I say? I really enjoy fantasy art. Especially from people who have a distinct style. And this guy certainly does.

Artificial Light
-The detail and effort it takes to make a stop motion animation film is the main reason why I love them so much. NBXmas is only a small taste of the tiny worlds people are capable of building. Not matter how epic our computer graphic get, I will always prefer the people who take the time to make it real, even if it is in miniature.

Nostalgic Photos
-Pictures of the past, perfectly lined up on top of what it looks like now. Makes you very aware of the passing of time.

Brom
- A dark artist with a very necromantic feel to his images. I’m a big an of his work.

Hand Art
-This takes the whole idea of drawing a talking person on your hand to a whole new level. You’ll look at your own hands and wonder...

Get out
- This animation is very amusing and some cool visuals. Hang in there for a great twist to the ending.

Original Drawings by Andreas Preis
-Pen and ink drawings that are so fun to look at. A style that I really enjoy. And proof that cross hatching actually works!


Living the High Life
-The story of a man who decided to see if he could build a tree house and live out his days, free from the troubles of the city.


Creep
-A unique flash animation done to Radiohead’s Creep. Watch a story in lines unfold before your eyes. Well worth it.


Evolution
-Speaks for itself.


Heike Weber Installations
- A woman who fills rooms with her sharpie doodles. I’d say she’s got too much time on her hands but all I can think about is how epic it must be to walk into those rooms and stare in awe.


Square Stanza
-I dare you to replicate this with your own poem. Get back to me when you do.

The Uber Oreo
-Soooooo, what would happen if you took the cream filling out of every Oreo in a box and put it into one giant oreo?

Your Halloween Costume Sucks
-Cosplaying isn’t just for geeks. It’s a whole thriving wearables art community.

Storm Drain Graffiti
- Some of the best and most creative graffiti I’ve seen in a while.

Julie Heffernan
-More crazy painted almost optical illusions

Jewelry made out of Colored Pencils
-What the titles says. And they are sure to be conversation starters.


Love Letters
-Write a love letter to complete strangers? This person did. Read her letters and hear her story.


Mr. Inoue’s Painting Techinque
-A very interesting idea, painting from nothing into something.
