An Artist who travels with a Pencil, a Pair of Scissors, and Paper
The majority of Rebecca J. Coles’ portfolio is made up of paper cutouts of butterflies. “Each shape is hand drawn and then intricately hand cut from carefully selected paper, focusing on recycling a medium that would otherwise be discarded and lost. I dissect small details of colour, imagery and text into silhouettes that are then re-sculptured, pinned and encased,” [1] she explains.

Woven or Painted?
I had a chance to speak with artist Caroline Larsen who has launched a new painting collection that resolves around the theme of ships. Her art technique is known for its “woven” appearance which is made with oil paint. She explains how she came up with this artistic approach: “I was inspired by pointillism and I have always been attracted to super thick paintings. In art school, I would experiment with all sorts of ways to apply paint, and the decoration tips really stood out! I also have a background in ceramics, so making paintings that are super thick just came natural.”

The Black Line Collection
Japanese designer Nendo had a recent solo art show entitled “Think Black Lines” that featured 29 unique furniture pieces. His creations were minimalist yet freaky how they appear to be two-dimensional and three-dimensional at the same time.

“The Scream” in Colored Pencils
Using daily objects to remake famous paintings is becoming more frequent in advertising campaigns. In this example of “The Scream,” it is quite interesting how the art directors of Ogilvy & Mather used Faber Castell colored pencils to create a rhythmic sky.

Glass Organisms
Mika Aoki’s glass sculptures are fluid and organic looking. Her car installation with art pieces coming off the roof and inside the vehicle is absolutely stunning!

The Cookie Connection
Photographer Sandy Skoglund took these conceptual pictures way back in 1978. They are timeless works of art. It is very interesting to see how she connected food patterns to wallpaper and what looks to be tablecloths.

A Dangerous Mind
Motion graphic studio Plenty has envisioned a typographic teaser for TV series “Criminal Minds” (AXN). All words written across a blue man’s face were hand painted, and then scanned into a computer to be composed in a 3D rendering program.

Do you want to Scream?
I like Alex Pardee’s cartoonish illustration style. He uses a lot of bold colors, and it works well for both his personal and commercial artwork themes.
