Check out this awesome art installation featuring 180,000 plastic people supporting a glass floor. It is- unsurprisingly- called Floor, and it’s put together by Do Ho Suh who is- surprisingly- not related to Long Duk Dong. Each of the pvc figures are cast in a random combination of color, gender and features, and are embedded in polyurethane resin to keep everything from immediately collapsing the art aficionado into a pit full of giant shards of glass and grasping Lilliputians. When you look at it that way, this thing is pretty freakin’ amazing.

If any of you have tried your hand at painting, you probably know how difficult it is. There are those who have a knack for it, such as Agnes-Cecile, and then there are people like me… people who are better off admiring the artistic works of those far more talented than myself. If anyone ever needs child-like drawings of dinosaurs or aliens, I’m your man.

To create her artwork, wool from Icelandic sheep farms and old wool sweaters were used. To dye the wool, Kool-Aid was used to make the dioramas.

Every so often I like to share amazing street art that I come across, and no matter the artist, I can’t help but judge it against the works of Bansky.

For those of you that haven’t heard of him, well… needless to say, he’s a very talented and prolific street artist from the UK. He’s done plenty of pieces which you’ve probably seen on your journeys across the internet, and simply

There are many types of art… so many, in fact, that I’m not going to go through the entire list. Suffice to say that some types of visual art look realistic, and others less so. There’s also a type of art that transcends both into the world of the surreal. A world where fish are islands, bed sheets are sweeping frozen landscapes, and people can row boats across grass fields. That’s where photo retouch artist Erik Johansson comes in.

If you’re a lover of photography, but find that the real world just isn’t strange enough, then I think that you’re really going to enjoy this collection of photo manipulations. Through great photography, and hundreds upon hundreds of
