Pumpkin Carving at its best

With Halloween right around the corner, nothing gets the spirit going like carving a pumpkin. I know Paul is talented in carving a pumpkin, but I have not been granted that gift. However, nothing can beat the carvings by Ray Villafane, an artist for Villafane Studios. Some of his carvings are just amazing. His work [...]

Lego Letterpress Prints

We have seen Lego Art, LEGO sculpture, wonderous Constructions and Lego Murals. But up until now the LEGOs themselves were the art, or possibly a video if the lego was part of an animation. The piece itself was also a singular entity, its not like you can take a replica home without a massive amount [...]

Dropping the Mic like a Robot

If movies have taught me anything robots are awesome and in order to make a point in a rap battle you need to have a good and iconic grip on your mic, possibly drop it at the end of a slamming statement. Imagine my syurprise when both of these unrelated pieces of mental detritus were cobbled together [...]

Caleb Larsen’s Auction Art

Art Auctions are common by anyone’s standards. You can’t go more than a few days weeks without reading something about a some piece selling for a price you wouldn’t pay. However this installation / art piece by Caleb Larsen takes the auction and makes THAT the real art. This little black box is a sophisticated [...]
