Design Gurus at an Austrian design studio Bureau Rabensteiner knows this very well and put a lot of effort in branding the company that will mark footsteps on people’s mind. This time they completed a project for Vienna-based photo rep and producer Natalie Daniels. They designed the branding and stationery using thermo-sensitive black ink, that fades as body temperature, so whenever an item is handled, an image is produced. That mean whenever you are pulling the card from your wallet it leaves finger prints. ...
New York City-based fashion photographer Jamie Beck, in collaboration with Kevin Burg, a web designer with a background in video and motion graphics, has created a series of gorgeous animated GIFs she calls “cinemagraphs”. A couple of them feature Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha, and these have gained quite a bit of media exposure recently. According to Rocha, cinemagraphs are “more than a photo, but not quite a...
Denmark-born artist Peter Callesen creates incredible works of art from a single sheet of A4 paper. Through an amazing combination of cutting and folding, Callesen creates incredible scenes from the simplest of materials. By taking away all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white A4 paper sheet for my creations, I feel I have found a material that we are all able to relate to, and at the same time the A4 paper sheet is neutral and open to fill with different meaning. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works. The paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them. The negative and absent 2 dimensional space left by the cut, points out the contrast to the 3 dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts. Check out more of Peter Callesen’s on his Official Site & Facebook...
Artist Iris Scott proves that finger painting isn’t just for kids. The painter has opted out of using brushes and, instead, chosen to slip on a pair of latex gloves and dip her protected hands into some paint. The artist first discovered her finger painting talents as an adult on an artistic retreat in Taiwan, where the high temperatures led her to settle indoors in her air-conditioned room where she could paint comfortably. Rather than leaving her pleasantly temperate quarters to clean her paintbrushes, a process which she is self-admittedly terrible at, Scott chose to start painting with her fingers. Much like a professional pianist, the artist uses quick finger movements to manipulate her medium. Scott’s fine art masterpieces utilize her method’s quick, short finger strokes to produce lively images that are often filled with textured movement. She is, in essence, creating her own sort of concerto. The artist’s process, though seemingly freehanded, is highly involved. Scott says, “Sketching and photography are very key. Sometimes its a photograph that provides the inspiration, and sometimes I just start sketching and develop the composition. In the evenings before painting days I stretch the canvas by hand, cover it with primer, and set it up in the studio for the following morning.” All original paintings and prints are available to purchase through Scott’s...
