dreamin' babies

this is so CUTE!! sleeping baby does all kinds of things ... (heh, heh)

a little food here and a little food there

like i've said before, there's a lot of 'art' out there that simply does not appeal to me. and then there's this. i don't know how this guy can do this stuff, since apparently he does it in layers, but i'm really impressed.

my favorites are the cucumber bridge and the corn candle. and isn't the banana balloon picture just as happy as can be?! and i'd like to dip my finger into the white castle hillside. and it's probably best to stay away from the chocolate express. after all ... chocolate. and pretty soon it would be all gone.

the husband was impressed with the fishcape, too. take a look and pick out your favorites.

and this there's this.

i mean, i don't have any use for a lot of 'art' out there and am suitably unimpressed with it. but this stuff: i. am. amazed.

how do they visualize these images and then put them together?

awestruck, that's me.

bygone era...

norman rockwell was a singular icon in a field by himself. i've always loved his stuff, and this article will show you some of his 'behind the scenes'. how very interesting!

talented guy

and then there are these photos. i mean pictures. i mean paintings.

wood you make me one?

you are not going to believe these clothes. they look sooooo real. very fun! and be sure to watch the video!!

a smudge of reality

this guy's pictures are so cool. because he has such a good imagination. and drawing abilities. i've blogged some before, here are some additional ones. enjoy!

get in there and play!

3-d interactive art. interesting to do, once anyhow.

life imitates art ....

banksy. yes, there is an artist who's name is readily recognizable. and he's being copied for real. see this.

great art!

these posters are just fabulous!!! and show you what we looked at back in the 50s!

husband, we need to buy some of these....how about star wars?

just playing in the sand

sand sculptures. or mud. regardless ... cool! and fun for kids! watch the video!

whoa ... realism in the paintbrush!

these are amazing. they aren't photos, they are paintings. and i thought they were beyond superlative until i read that he takes pictures, then draws from them. if he were to create these completely from his mind, that would be mindbendingly, fantastically, genius to the max. but, until then he's just beyond superlative. click the link to see more pix.

second grade??

this is too cute -- and the kid who drew this is in second grade!! for more winners, go here.

nature's art

if you like pretty colors and interesting creatures, check out this underwater video.

how do you do that?

wow -- i  love this gal's drawings! in my next life, i want that talent!

chalk drawings

you know those street chalk-drawings that are always so cool? well, check this out. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2061268/Artist-draws-Chinas-terracotta-army-chalk-street-art-LEGO-men.html i mean, you can see it happening.

the thing you probably cannot see quite as well is the proportions they use. for example, the first picture is the whole. the second one is the history. the third one is the drawing before the coloring.

now, look closely. the corner closest to you is the corner farthest away in the completed drawing. it's the flip (top-to-bottom) of picture four. the little guy on the horse in number four, is the pink elongated sketch in picture three.

the perspective is amazing and probably only good from a very narrow viewpoint.
