L’Art Du Pop-Up by Jean-Charles Trebbi
Back in 2008 I created the music video for Bim’s ‘Stay In My Memory‘ (http://youtu.be/zsELXlALTak). The video depicts a love story between two characters which comes to life in a pop-up book, which I created myself. This year I was contacted by Jean-Charles Trebbi, a …

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a more misleading website name. The Useless Web This is the most useful site I’ve stumbled across since 2003. A couple of my highlights are below but don’t just look at these – make sure you check them …

sakir gokcebag
Born in Turkey and currently residing in Hamburg, the work of Sakir can’t really be done justice in a short blog piece. It deserves more considered time and attention and if you are interested in seeing more of his work, his own website is the …
Dario Vargas
Dairo’s new project directly confronts the vulnerability of the physical human condition whilst offering the potential for its spiritual journeying. On canvas, the artist provokes us to consider the ultimate values of love, life, death and all else that we go through as sentient beings. …
More mouth, Less nose
We’ll get back to the art posts very soon – promise! For now here’s a bit more nonsense originating from a random images post on designerstalk
Polly paints a penis
And now for something a little bit different…. These satirical parodies of classic childrens book covers from 1940′s to 1960′s are offering some light (and some not so light) relief on an otherwise mundane Thursday. I’m not sure the exact origins or who is responsible …
Oonce Oonce (music sites)

Hidden Mother
While searching for something quite unrelated I somehow stumbled on one of these fascinating images. It seems it’s a quirk of victorian photography, with the long exposure time required, that there are a whole series of these. Normally the mother or a photographers assistant would …
Too skinny?
It’s always interesting to look back at old adverts and see what they tell us about the time they were made in. Some things don’t change – adverts have always played on either our insecurities or aspirations to try and sell us something. The specific …

Nigel Cox describes his work as Photorealistic Minimalism. His paintings provide the viewer with a glimpse beyond the clutter of everyday life, conjuring up notions of escape and peace, offering sanctuary from the frenetic world outside.
