French photographer captures the beauty of China's rice paddies


Seeing as how I'm writing this while I sit with a view of an expansive rice field in Batangas, I'd thought I'd share with you some of Thierry Bornier's breathtaking photos that highlight the magnificence of China's man-made rice paddies. 

   Much of his work resembles intricate paintings rather than landscapes. Published several times in the National Geographic, the Frenchman always waits for the perfect lighting condition and the ideal cloud formation to make his pictures appear more surreal.

   "What is most important in landscape photography is the light," Thierry said. "Weather is king, but he is also a magician and can show you something amazing and beautiful when you least expect it. You must be there to capture it."

   Thierry ended up taking photos of Chinese terrain after spending seven years in the finance industry. Entirely self-taught as a photographer, he travelled to China and found a country of so many unique regions and stunning scenery. Since then, he has made a commitment to explore his artistic side in the Far East.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
