Celebrity Time Travel

If the renaissance took place in modern times, and the models were famous pop culture celebrities, what would the artwork have looked like? This was the theme for Worth1000′s photo manipulation contest and the results were quite hilarious. Master Photoshoppers let their creative juices flow as they imagined how Renaissance artists would have painted the pop icons of today.

Ballpoint Pen Drawings by Jacob Everett

London based artist Jacob Everett does huge hand ballpoint drawings with machine-like patterns.

I am a portrait artist working with biro on paper. I produce large-scale portraits using an intricate technique of overlapping elliptical marks, which gradually build to represent the subtle contours of the face. In common with digital images, my works, close up, appear as thousands of tiny ‘pixels’. When viewed from a distance they reveal the subtleties and nuances of individual character.

Living Spaces: Gatsby

The best way to recover from the financial coma of 2000s is to celebrate life by art deco! The fuss around The great Gatsby and 1920s style blowed up all design blogs recently is not the begining of a trend but the high five to all kinds of decoration as vitality symbol.
