Creative Newspaper Sculptures

newspaper-sculptures-05

Nick Georgiou creates Lynchian creatures out of the stitched folds of thousands of discarded newspapers. His latest creation is this prowling beast, a golem created from the dirty print of discarded tabloids. There’s something unsettling about the bulging cylinders of its eyes combined with the piscine gasp of its mouth, that gives it the quality of something that is part dog, part human and part fish. Wonderful…

Top 8 Awesome Vinyl Clocks

vinyl-clocks-10

Vinyl records do not break easily, but the soft material is easily scratched. Vinyl readily acquires a static charge, attracting dust that is difficult to remove completely. Dust and scratches cause audio clicks and pops. In extreme cases, they can cause the needle to skip over a series of grooves, or worse yet, cause the needle to skip backwards, creating a “locked groove” that repeats over and over. Locked grooves were not uncommon and were even heard occasionally in broadcasts…

Pokemon Redesigns Will Haunt Your Nightmares

pokemon-redesigns-will-haun-ytour-nightmares-10

Somewhere between the original, manga-looking Pokémon that we all know and love and the bigger, shinier fantasy re-imaginings that we’ve also seen, lies Gavin Mackey’s vision for the super-powered critters. In Mackey’s art, they take an insidious turn toward resembling Renée French subjects or that creepy baby in David Lynch’s Eraserhead.

Breathtaking Portraits in Ink and Leaves

portraits-in-ink-and-leaves-05

Carne Griffiths’ artwork is born from a love of drawing and the journey of creating an image on the page. Working primarily with calligraphy ink, graphite and liquids, such as tea brandy, vodka and whisky he draws and then manipulates the drawn line. After graduating from Maidstone college of art Carne served an apprenticeship and worked as a gold wire embroidery designer for 12 years, hence floral pattern, repetition and flow play a large part in his work.
Carne’s images explore both human and floral forms, figuratively and in an abstract sense. He is fascinated by the flow of line and the ‘invisible lines’ that connect us to the natural world. These may be considered lines of energy or spiritual connections between ourselves and our surroundings and his work is often an emotional response to images and situations encountered in daily life. These daily images are recorded in a dream like sense onto the page where physical boundaries are no longer important. Carne’s work takes us on a journey of escapism, often focusing on scenes of awe and wonderment, they offer a sense of abandonment to the artist and to the viewer an invitation to share and explore this inner realm.
