This impressive picture by Chris Burkard illustrates perfectly today’s just a little bit too blank canvas. I am about to start a few great new projects and have to take a deep breath and get on with it. via The Telepraph

upwards and onwards
It’s back to work after a (way too) short holiday in France celebrating a dear friend’s birthday. Managed to read the inspiring book ‘Make ideas happen’ by Scott Belsky on which these pics, my fresh mind and a new week ahead sort with. Picture of the skater via Life on Sundays. The street typography is by Tommas Oguerra… Continue reading upwards and onwards

Revealed in Chicago at June 5, 2012 the installation ‘colorjam’ by Jessica Stockholder. Composed of 76.000 square feet vinyl covering various surfaces. A hommage to the famous artist Christo and the idea is to make you feel like stepping into an animated film. via My Modern Met

Mowing Olympic Rings at Richmond Park for the -about to start- Olympics 2012 in London. via the Guardian Hoping that this quote will NOT come true for the athletes.

Quite witty this note by ‘dear blank, please blank’; a mini project where users can share their frustrations in a short and simple letter. Who doesn’t know that feeling of the things you’ve should have said, after the situation had happened. Created by Hans Johnson and Jared Wunsch. via So good so bad

This fun, fine little drawing by Oliver Jeffers suits my day today. Love the idea behind the ‘coffee‘ drawings; after making a coffee ring mark on a page he somehow incorporates this ring into a drawing. Impressed by his other illustration work.

The expression of the deer is so spot on. A beautiful, very funny illustration by Martijn van der Linden from the book ‘Voor jou, voor wie anders? [for you, for who else?] by Edward van de Vendel. I’m so impressed by his detailed drawings but even more with his sketches.
I spy …
… with my little eye. A bit of happy-making yellow on a gray summer’s day. Picture from the Mimicry series by Maurits Giessen and Ilse Leenders. It is meant to show the uniformity of human beings. Just like animals that adapt to their environment. via Frankie

An acrobatic elephant challenging gravity. Hyperrealistic real-size sculpture by Daniel Firman. ‘Nasutamanus’ is part of a group exhibition ‘The circus as a parallel Universe’. It can be seen at the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna until September 2012. via My Modern Met

‘Dance me to your beauty’. This quote by Leonard Cohen is very approriate for this beautiful surrealistic dance by Kate Bosworth for the Vanessa Bruno collection 2011-2012. The film is directed by Stephanie Di Gosto. via lepetitbirdtoldme
