Artist uses layers of paint to 'fatten' skinny models

Using layers of oil paint, Istanbul-based artist Nur Gürel transforms skinny models featured in fashion magazines into plus-size works of art. The pictures in these publications, the Turkish painter explains, are just as "manipulated" as her creations. The only difference is that we take the Photoshopped images at face-value, while Nur's works are more visibly altered. Below are some painted reinterpretations from her ongoing Toy With Proportions series, which I discovered through Feature Shoot.

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.

Brandon Semenuk is a Canadian freeride mountain biker and rally racer who does crazy tricks that make me anxious. In the Know , his latest video partnership with SRAM, is a knockout. The clip is filled with wild riding, magnificent terrain, cool music, and breathtaking shots.

Spray Paint Reflection

Through my random searches I came across the work of Taiwanese artist BlackZao, who blends graffiti and calligraphy with Eastern religious art. There are a lot of things that make his paintings exceptional but I really like the vibrant hues, lettering, and intricate illustrations. Aside from spray painting on walls and canvases, he also creates digital art, makes beautiful collages, and goes old school with acrylics and brushes. Check out his Facebook page for more.
