UFO

I love these images of UFO sightings...
The last one looks like the tardis with a skirt, no?

Sophie Ristelhueber's photographs study the scars and destruction left behind after war

They say much more about modern war, and avoid the in-your-face gore of some war photography

I also love this photo by Donovan Wylie

Ice House Detroit

A while ago, I posted about 100 abandoned houses

Now Ive discovered Ice House Detroit.

An amazing installation freezing one of the many abandonned houses in Detroit.

Reminds me a little of Roger Hiorns' Seizure...

Ursula

From 'The little Mermaid'

Jenny Saville

I love Jenny Saville's work, its inspired me a lot in my own painting.

Shadows on the Thames

Buildings and trees casting their shadows over the Thames... Yet again, I've found some interesting images on Google maps!

Snowflakes

Images of the first ever snowflake photographs by Wilson A Bentley, from the late 19th century.

They are on sale at the moment, I think they are beautiful.

Light at the end of the tunnel...

Love this installation by Yochai Matos.
Its so cool,
its like a rip in the fabric of reality, a gateway to another existence.
Its like the image in my head from reading loads of sci-fi novels...

love it...

first day back :(

From modern toss

pulp

Love these photos from pulp

Boy bitten by lizard

I adore Carravaggio, he is one of my favorite artists.

This is one of my favorite paintings of his, it is so full of sexuality, and symbolism, I love it.

I heart streetview

For some time I've been looking at street view when I'm a bit bored at work, and exploring views of places I want to visit...

Here a just a couple of images Ive stumbled across...

worry

I'm stressing about stupid things that don't matter and that I cant change.
I don't know why, but Ive always been the kind of person who over-analyses stuff, and worry, worry worry about things that no one noticed or if they did, forgot about ages ago... COS IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL!!!!

I need to get me some Guatemalan worry dolls

Portait of Rudolf Agricola

Came across this painting today,
It reminds me of when I was a kid; if I made a mistake, I would paint over it in black and make it into a scarf or something.

He makes me think of a vulture ( I think it's the nose!)

Mary ellen mark

Really disturbing but interesting photographs by Mary Ellen Mark.

Poor animals eh?

But I kind of have sympathy for the sad looking people as well.

Washing a white elephant

The knight, the young girl and death

I spotted this very strange painting today,
It's quite horrible to look at, but actually drew me in.
It's a man on a horse, trying to keep a grip on a presumably dying girl, who is being dragged back by death.
Disurbingly, death is holding on to her determinedly with its teeth. It's holding on to the stump of a tree and had it's bony leg stretching across the painting to prop his foot on another stump for support.
Its looks like it's painted from memory and not from life, as the horse is really out of proportion.
I really don't like it, but it made me stop and look.

brown tape art

Just read about this artist, who creates these really interesting images with brown tape and a light box...

Autumn sky in London

Took this photo of the afternoon sky,
I love the sky in autumn, there are such beautiful and dramatic clouds.

Looks like a painting..
