3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
London based photographer, Robin Conway has particular interest in underwater photography stems from becoming a water lover at an early age, through swimming at a local club, developing a keen interest in scuba diving and working as a lifeguard as well.
“By taking the model underwater I find the lens captures the model’s vulnerability and emotional resonances.” - Robin Conway
Artist Sam Songailo uses bright colors, straight lines, and bold, graphic shapes in his outdoor and indoor installations. Geometric repeating patterns span span floors, ceilings, and walls. Lighting plays a role in his work as it enhances color and gives the work a sense of space and a depth of field. Once the viewer is immersed in the space, all of the elements of Songailo’s work transports them to another place. via

"Artist Brett Kern creates detailed ceramic objects that at first appear almost indistinguishable from inexpensive inflatable toys. Kern mimics the tell-tale wrinkles and forms of air-filled toys like dinosaurs, astronauts, balloons, and even whoopie cushions—all made from clay. You can see more work in his gallery, and he has several pieces available in his Etsy shop." via Colossal
At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, 3D Systems showcased the world's first 3D food printers. Called Chefjet and Chefjet Pro, the innovative machines are capable of producing an amazing array of delicious goodies in 3D geometric form.
When speaking about the products, Liz von Hasseln, 3D Systems' Creative Director Food Products explains, “The machine uses an ink jet print head that's just like the one you would find in your desktop 2D printer. It spreads a very fine layer of sugar then paints water onto the surface of the sugar, and that water allows the sugar to re-crystalize and harden to form these complex geometries."
