Author R. J. Evans states “Feathers abound in nature. The winged creatures of the world have a huge diversity of plumage, coming at us in all the colors of the rainbow. When viewed close up they can give the impression of being more successful attempts at abstract art.” -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360 Illusion

Just these two decorative dishes are a thing to see! Wow! The artist Sakurako Kitsa creates each dish with care and detail, as if she were creating a children’s book. Here is Kitsa’s self-portrait… I suspect her name is an artistic one, and no hint that she is in fact Japanese. -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360 Illusion

Beautiful paintings by Ralph Heimans. He uses colors that are warm and romantic in many of his portraits. For more info, here is a bit from his bio: “Ralph Heimans’ work has been described to have a disarming quality, recalling the methods and conventions of 16th and 17th century European portraiture, while at the same time playfully undermining those traditions. Although his technical approach pays homage to masters like Caravaggio and Velazquez, particularly in the use of chiaroscuro, his subject matter is distinctly contemporary, drawing inspiration from technology and images of modern life.” -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360

Nagi Noda directs music videos and TV commercials, having worked with bands such as Yuki, Tiga, and Scissor Sisters. Her collection of artwork looks highly experimental and strange–kind of reminds me of Bjork’s video world. Definitely click on “Paper Bag Design” link to see how she created a shopping bag with an illusional effect (see an example above). -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360

Project entitled “Mossenger” by Anna Garforth. The artist states “Living, breathing graffiti. An on-going project experimenting with public space and street art, the moss acts as a healthy alternative to spray paints, eventually colonising and taking over the wall.” -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360

Artist Phil Hansen is very creative, he makes art using bibles, photocopied messages, Starbuck cups, oreos, and paints with his feet among other hidden talents seen in his videos. At top, a video reel with a bunch of his work. -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360

Film Scan: “Snow Angels” (2008)
A somber, downbeat story about estranged spouses languishing in suburbia. But guess what? It works because it’s supremely well acted, written and presented.

Short Story: Varner’s Dilemma
A young fashion designer of limited talent is encouraged by his art teacher to seek a career in NYC. Before leaving he insults everyone, then fails in NYC.

This is the first time that I am seeing Fence art. Wow! Created by Dutch design house Demakersvan, they state: “The Lace Fence project translates that line of thinking. Fencing is a sign how we modified and cultivated our environment. Like brambles fences are rising rampantly around us. What would happen if a patch of embroided wire would meet with and continue as an industrial fence. Hostility versus kindness, industrial versus craft.”
