We'd never start a blog

Oil paintings - Matthew Davis

These incredible paintings are created by Matthew Davis. He drips oil paint into little pools and lets them dry over several days before adding more pools of paint.

Not only extremely clever, but the patience!

Would be great to see in real life.

I know this clip is all over the internet at the moment, but really, it's too cute not to mention. x

Slinkachu's Little People Project

Hello to the first day of Winter!

(Art by Slinkachu)

Part of Slinkachu's The Little People Project - "abandoning little people on the streets since 2006". He modifies model train figures and arranges them in scenes that he leaves in various places around cities. He photographs the scene up-close and then from further back to gain perspective. I love the idea of people finding them.

Faces in the wind - Tadao Cern

Imagine what your face might look like if gale-force winds were directed at it. Tadao Cern did and went on to capture these incredible images. Guaranteed to make you smile.

Didn't anyone ever tell them to stop pulling a certain face because "the wind might change and your face will stay that way forever"?? ;-)

For more photos (there's over 100), have a look at Tadao Cern on facebook.

Scrap Paper Tree

They suggest that this tree is perfect for Spring, but it's saying Autumn to me. To-mate-o, to-mart-o.

Click here if you want to see how to make it. If not, it's just lovely to look at. :-)

Here it is!

Welcome to our first blog post! Some art to celebrate.
