Dolan Geiman’s Whales

I’ve really been enjoying the work of Dolan Geiman. I especially like his mixed media whales!

Dipsticks

Brooklyn-based artist Nick van Woert’s series called Dipsticks is really cool. He takes toys and dips them over and over in latex paint until they become candy-colored amorphous blobs. You can see more on Nick’s website or his Flickr page.

Orange Bicycle

I think the message of this image is that we needed to 1) Eat more fruits and 2) Exercise more. Or maybe it’s that playing with your food is fun…I’m not quite sure. Either way, it’s pretty neat.

Screw Portraits

There are few things I enjoy more than seeing art that’s been created in unconventional ways. Andrew Myers makes amazing portraits that are a cross between sculpture, painting and pointillism. His portraits are composed of thousands of screws that are drilled into plywood at varying depths, which he then finishes off by painting over the heads of each individual screw to create a unique work of art with astounding depth and detail. AOL News did a great interview with Myers if you’re interested in learning more about his process.

Here’s a wonderful little illustration by Brandon Ortwein.

Blackboard Storage Cabinet

Peter Jakubik (the creator of the DIY Panton Chair) continues to amaze me. His latest creation, Blackboard, is a chalkboard-covered storage cabinet (it’s functional too!) that allows you to customize your decor whenever you feel like it…as long as you have some chalk handy. This got me thinking, it’s been too long since I’ve drawn on my furniture. Take a look at Peter’s Flickr page to see more!

Mary Tyler Moore Models Pasta Jewelry

In August 1971, Mary Tyler Moore modeled some very chic jewelry in Family Circle magazine. What sort of jewelry you may ask? Well…it was pasta jewelry…
