Man secretly snaps London commuters as Flemish paintings

I love a good bit of fun when it comes to my morning look around the web, and these images from Matt Crabtree's 16th Century Tube Passengers series are quite amusing. Matt secretly photographs people on their commute, creatively manipulates the pictures to look like Flemish paintings, and posts them online.

"All these shots are taken, retouched and sent from my phone whilst on the tube journey," he said. "I'm capturing the most of mundane commuter moments with a quiet, classical beauty."

Matt is a self-taught photographer and works as a creative director in a London ad agency, so the rest of his work is definitely worth checking out too.

Sayaka Ganz creates amazing art menagerie from discarded plastics

I could never get enough of Sayaka Ganz . The Japanese-born artist saves the planet from plastic, at the same time creates brilliant animal sculptures. Raised under the Japanese philosophy of Shintoism, she hopes to bring greater awareness to the condition of our environment through her art. When creating sculptures, Sayaka organizes the reclaimed plastic objects into color groups, constructs a wire frame, and then carefully attaches the fragments of waste until she creates the shape she has envisioned. Her work has been exhibited in many places around the globe, among them Parma, Tokyo, Denver, New York, and San Francisco to name a few. Sayaka's Reclaimed Creations is currently on view at the Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University in Maryland. She regularly posts on Facebook, so be sure to like and follow her page for updates.

Kulay Sa Tubig

Image credit: Manila Bulletin Watercolor is not easy to use. It's unpredictable and hard to control. Unlike opaque paints, a slight change in the water-to-pigment ratio or the wetness of the paper can alter the outcome. But, with a lot of practice, plenty of patience, and a little bit of luck, you can create something truly beautiful. Anyway, here are some of the entries from the 37th Kulay Sa Tubig National Watercolor Competition, which was held recently at Estancia Mall in Pasig. The exhibit runs until October 27, 2025.
