I don’t have any info about this project, except for the Source. The artist seems to have the same name as an athlete (who dominated my web searches).
Lovely work on this anatomical art book.
A few more here.
Need some feedback, please!
I’ve been toying with the idea of very briefly documenting a bit of the phantasmagoria that takes place in my head as I dream. A whole new, often entertaining, world opens up…occasionally worth sharing.
I thought of including dream posts here, with some corresponding art from my archives or image odysseys. But there are other ways I could go about it.
Please select your favorite option (keep in mind, posts will NOT be lengthy plot lines or analytical descriptions to read…just frozen surreal moments captured in a sentence or two):
Malaysian design studio 1000 Tentacles features projects including commercial illustration, prints, comics, character design, toy sculpture and 3D arts.
The portfolio is extensive, packed with awesome scenes and creative creatures.
So much to see on 1000 Tentacles!

(But in my case, 2011 has certainly tried so far!)
Brings new meaning to the phrase “my better half:”

…and new meaning to “a meeting of minds:”

I should definitely do this with my hip-length hair. Now, how to craft a faucet accessory…

Best typo of the month…and top of my destination list if it’s true. Where do heavy meals line the urban roadsides? Bring me to the land of meatloaf trees and pizza flowers!

I’d also like to go to this coffee shop:

Best cake inscription of the month:

Happy birthday! “Rats off to you!” (You know this sickly looking thing has red velvet cake innards)

Or for another unique birthday idea (not recommended):

Not only am I infinitely interested in the human condition, but it’s always fascinating to see how artist represent mental, physical or scientific concepts.
This series of minimalist posters representing various mental afflictions comes from Graphic Patrick.
Maria Monferrer’s work is like a mashup between Stephen Gammell and Dr. Seuss.
Whispy, veiny flora wind around fluffy pastel creatures and forms…what a strange little world she makes…

Yuri Zupancic is a multi-talented artist who created a fabulous series of microchip paintings (often using handmade brushes constructed from his own eyelashes).
Zupancic describes the project beautifully…
“Smaller and Faster” has replaced “Bigger and Better” as the leading catchphrase of commodities. Things seems to be changing swiftly as every aspect of our lives is being affected by the electronic revolution. I reflect on questions and inspirations of our time with my miniature paintings on microchips. I strive for poetic efficiency through tiny images which strike great metaphorical chords when painted on microchips -the building blocks of the digital age.
The biggest frontier I see today is where nature and technology overlap. Mankind and our extensions (i.e. computers, cities) are essentially natural occurrences, thus move and evolve in the same dynamic patterns as the rest of the world. My paintings on microchips are an attempt to broaden our perspective of modern electronics and acknowledge their position as extensions of the human mind and human nature.
I’m swooning over this mirror neuron piece:

He does regular paintings as well. The merging of classical, modern and technological themes leaves the viewer delightfully suspended between conceptual constructs and vastly different worlds…yet it all comes together.
Graphic artist Catrin Arno has a beautiful portfolio of mixed media surreal collage work.

This image caught my eye recently, and inspired me to check out more of Tony Sandoval’s work.
I’m fond of the fact that a significant portion of these illustrations feature tiny girls and monsters monsters or zombies.
