This guy’s illustrations will blow your mind, yep they’re all charcoal drawings, not photographs.

Matthew Davis is a rare talent. A painter with a unique method, a true reinvention of the rather staid art of Pointillism, Davis’ pooling of household gloss paint on to canvas captures our shared and perceived reality in all its scientific glory. Vision, physical form, colour and light, everything around us is merely the result of a coagulation of billions of atoms jostling with each other for position and precedence. And if we all had electron microscopes for eyes it would probably look something like this…

Come face-to-face with authors past and present with “Written Portraits” – an advertising campaign taking its inspiration from the spate of artistic book carving over the past few years. As part of a promotional project ages of autobiographical books were carved in the shape of the author’s face. The Van Wantern Etcetera agency began the campaign as a part of Dutch Book Week which is organized by CPNB (Collective Promotion Dutch Literature) every year. The artist Souverein did an impressive job of creating realistic images on the pages of each book. The series includes the faces of Louis Van Gaal, Anne Frank, Vincent Van Gogh and Kader Abdolah.

Just came across this great animation by artist Markus Neidel entitled S-Bahn. Music by the electronic band Mendelsson. Let’s just hope the pro car lobbyists don’t get their oily hands on it.

It’s best if some things stay in the 2nd Dimension. Hollywood special effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick created these 3D prosthetic models of Beavis and Butt-Head and has probably had nightmares ever since…

I love this piece by Russian Street Artist Pavel Puhov, a dirty great pair of specs which if you look closely you’ll see a superb use of a nearby street lamp. Oчень круто!

and living in Holland ;)

The superb coloured pencil art of Marco Mazzoni…

Prints are planned for later this year!
