We Go to the Gallery
Miriam Elia's new take on a 1960s Ladybird book. Peter, Jane and Mummy go to a gallery and learn about sex, death and contemporary art. She successfuly ran first thousand prints through Kickstarter project but it is the Ladybird book publisher Penguin, rather than the art world, which isn't so happy about the project. We hope she resolve the legal issues this spring and we will have a chance to order the book from her website.

Paintings by Alec Huxley
Paintings of figures dressed in business attire wearing space helmets that alludes to some sort of narrative, while also combining the architecture of San Francisco with fantasy and film noir. That is Alec Huxley
It all began when I bought a Soviet space helmet on eBay. I was playing around with a bunch of space-themed work for my first show at D-Structure and painted two pieces in that style. Something in the cinematic and graphic look just clicked with me, so I started to explore it more.

Hyper-realistic iPad painting
When I was 5 years old I clearly remember a guy that was looking for us kids in a kidergarten. He owned an Edge-a-Sketch (actually its Soviet version called "Magic Screen") tool and did portraits while we had a siesta. That was impressive and realistic sketch portraits of his girlfriend (our nurse obviously) and I was wondering why he can do that and someone else cannot. That's how I got close to the definition "talent".I truly believe that no tools are the magic wand in the hand of creator but his talent and skills are. For trained oil painter and illustrator from UK Kyle Lambert an iPad is a tool and please have look what he did using only fingers and application Procreate. A hyper-realistic portrait of actor Morgan Freeman. Even after watching the video several times, you probably still won't believe that he created something so realistic using the same device your niece uses to play Angry Birds, so check out some bonus videos below for further proof.

Original photo of Morgan Freeman is made by Scott Gries
P.s. For those who cares, it believes that the video is not a fake, read the statement from Procreate CEO "There's been some controversy over the veracity of the Kyle Lambert painting video we shared earlier this week, and our CEO James has addressed these comments. Following the controversy we analysed the source file extensively, and determined that it is genuine. That this is hard to believe is testament to Kyle Lambert's exceptional work.
