heavy water.

Happy easter, to everyone who is celebrating. I'm just glad for four free days in a row, thanks to the jesus dude. I'm trying to use that time to revive my social life, especially with the friends that are too far away to spend enough time with them. So I am writing all the mails that stayed unanswered for a while now, always being ashamed that I never really find the time to answer right away. Girls and boys, I hope you know I feel very sorry about it. 

And on I go with the next entry for my art week project. Today I want to show the the Silver Prints series by Timothy Pakron. Again, you'll get to see a bunch of faces or versions thereof, I seem to be fascinated by faces and hands, you might have noticed that, if you have checked out my tumblr once or twice.  

The technique is very interesting and it is shown in this short documentary. 

guide to an escape.

Ignacio Torres is the name of the artist/photographer I want to introduce today. I absolutely fell in love with his STELLAR series. The basic idea behind this project is the following:

"This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. I created imagery that showcased this cosmic birth through the use of dust and reflective confetti to create galaxies. The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs. Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time."

But see for yourself:

black diamonds.

Today's post is about a photographer. I guess you could call him a tumblr celebrity. His name is Billy Kidd and I love his expressional work. I think his decaying flower shots are my favorites.

broken faces.

On the second day of art week I present you the japanese artist Takahiro Kimura. Specifically one of his projects called "broken 1000 faces". There is no further explanation on the website, but I suppose, as the name implies, his goal is to paint 1000 different faces over the years. 

pitter patter.

Dear favourite people of mine, yes you, who habitually read my updates. I just made a spontaneous decision. It's art week, and I am going to post some stuff from artists/illustrators I spotted over the last couple of weeks.

I'll start today with Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo (Wow, is that your real name? If so, I am mighty jealous!)

P.S. I have a date on Wednesday!

bookscapes.

Back to awesome, muchachos! I am still a bit snuffy but  bad weeds grow tall, you know. Today I found this awesome artist called GUY LARAMEE who carves landscapes into books. Hard to imagine, right? I thought so, that's why I wanted to share some pictures with you.
