Listen to Faith No More This Morning, Why Not?

Did you ever listen to Faith No More? I did when I was in high school and this morning I wondered, "Did they sound awful?" So I listened to some tunes and the answer is sometimes they sounded atrocious, but King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime has moments of enjoyability. Here's a song from that album.

This guy makes suits of armor for mice and cats

Calgary-based multi-media artist Jeff de Boer creates suits of armor… for cats and mice. He started designing and building these meticulously crafted metal pieces over 30 years ago as a little side project on his sculpting class at the Alberta College of Art and Design, where he majored in jewelry design. The side project eventually turned into a full time job. Jeff's work is inspired by Medieval times, Ancient Rome, the Renaissance Era, and Japan's Edo period. He uses different metals for his sculptures, but mostly bronze and copper. Though his creations look wearable, the artist has never really tried putting them on mice, though he did get scratched by one of his cats while doing so. While most of Jeff's work is done on a commission basis, he occasionally have pieces available for sale. Check out more of his impressive sculptures on his website and follow him on Facebook .

Splendor in the Glass: A Visit to Museo Orlina

I can't write at home all the time because I get stir-crazy and I can't keep my two-year-old daughter from disturbing me while I'm in front of my computer. I love having her near me while I'm working, but I have trouble focusing when I'm interrupted or there's a lot of noise in the background. I end up cleaning the house, gardening, watching movies, or reading books, or smoking pot and taking naps. Recently I discovered Museo Orlina , Tagaytay's answer to Baguio's Bencab Museum . Ramon Orlina, a multi-awarded Filipino artist best known for his abstract glass pieces, bought the property in 2012. Though originally meant to be just a vacation house for his family, the sculptor eventually turned the place into a modern, four-level art space. For an entrance fee of P100 (about $2), you can explore the site with a staff member showing you around. The museum features various galleries named after Orlina's children. Level one, dubbed as Naesa, is a space...

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.
