La Factoria Plastica

Lots of new traffic coming to my blog from La Factoria Plastica, thank you for the lovely mention (have a look see here).....I will most certainly be vising their pages regularly. Have a look at these inspirational finds. Enjoy!

Zac Freeman, American artist who uses recycled plastic to create these realistic portraits. 

 

Created from this!

Possibly inspired by the great photorealist, Chuck Close. What do you think?

Tiny Show - Art of the good

I love community spirit, the warm glow of being kind to others it really makes me happy. Sorry for the soppy intro, but it's the truth. Tiny showcase, is a generous concept where by a portion of the profits from the sale of these lovely prints are given to the artists chosen charity. Here are some of my fav's.

"Haphazard Playground"

Kirkland Bray

"Tora (Tiger) Beenie"

Ferris Plock

"Tiny Boat on a Tiny Bottle"

Sol Linero

Wall art - Charlotte Mann

When your parents told you not to draw on the walls, I wonder did they ever consider the future artist you may become? Amazing hand drawn wall art by Charlotte Mann, found via Famille Summerbelle

Jan Family - Plans for Other Days

I came across this book whilst at uni back in 2007, I would dearly love to buy it. The imagery is just,....how can I say 'lovely'. Jan Family is a group of English artists who beautifully document new ways to engage with our surroundings. Plans for Other Days is not only a humorous way of looking at the world im which we live, but a testament to my manta that inspiration can come from the smallest of events, if you remember to notice. Enjoy.
