Be blown away by Kim Ji-hoon‘s unbelievable hyper realistic pencil drawings. This is amazing. How does one do this? I can’t even conceive..

Lidó Rico is a sculptor based in Yecla, Spain. His work is characterized by the use of his own anatomy as live model.

” My work is an exploration of identity. Who am I? Who are you? Can there be a connection? These questions were my starting point. What has resulted is a patch-work style of colors and shapes as tools to reconcile the interior and exterior realms. My process is a meditative exercise in breaking up features and re-assembling them into new structures, imbued with abstract thoughts and feelings. As an artist, it is my hope to create a real connection with others and ideally inspire people to question their own identity and complexities to see what truths may develop.” – Sara Zin

The Dumbo Folding Bunk Bed folds so easily and compactly that it can serve as a daily solution for small kids’ rooms, leaving plenty of room for daytime play. Gaps characterize the spaces between all of the beds’ moving parts so even kids can pull it open and closed without fear of pinched fingers. The unit is also the perfect answer to that ubiquitous urban question of how to host guests in small apartments. When folded, the unit becomes a small cabinet, only 12 1/4” deep, that can easily and instantaneously be converted into sleeping quarters for two.

” My work with encaustic seems like a fusion of many of my past art explorations; which included ceramics, papermaking, printmaking, photography and mixed media collage. There is a sensuality of material and a sense of partnership with the medium that is integral to my enjoyment of the process and to the success of any piece. It is tactile, malleable and rich and also allows the delight of using a fragrant byproduct of the interaction of bees with flowers. It feels akin to cooking, creating a surface that often exudes an edible quality. Unpredictable and surprising effects happen frequently and there is a constant interplay between transparency, opacity, layering and subtle dimensionality. By combining drawing and paper with wax the potential of this interplay seems infinitely expanded.” – Andrea Benson

Artist Jared Clark uses different parts of his face to draw with markers. HA!

Painting in coffee is a refreshing break from working with oils, acrylics, markers, and ink. It is such a wonderful medium with a wide range of brown hues. Anyway, it’s fun, easy and inexpensive, so try it out! More samples of my work can be seen here.
