Wooden World


Some artists work in paint, some in fabric, and others in glass. Aleph Geddis works in wood, and apparently he was given permission by the local authorities to transform any piece of log into works of art.

If you are planning on reworking on the interior of your home, Aleph's sculptures can really make a difference. Whether it is your living room, bedroom, or hallway, there are various ways in which you can use his art pieces to give your house a touch of uniqueness.





Robots might have already taken over several industries, but when it comes to artistic ventures, humans still hold a strong lead. I would really love to see Aleph's sculptural works in person sometime.

Hand-Painted Movie Posters by Tony Stella

In the 70s and 80s movie theaters in Manila were usually standalone buildings with nice seats and red curtains. To sell tickets, cinemas needed to advertise their offerings. But they did not have the original posters, or the means to print alternatives. So they made their own, commissioning local artists to hand-paint them. I really miss those hand-painted posters and billboards, which conveyed an artistry that was a form of visual hyperbole. But hand-made objects always have a way of returning. In this digital age, people will always look for things made by hand. I recently stumbled across the work of Tony Stella, whose genuinely cool movie posters have caught the eye of film enthusiasts and art lovers worldwide. He likes to work in watercolor and ink wash but sometimes he will make an oil painting, depending on the film. Tony's very active on social media, and his Tumblr blog contains a massive collection of illustrated movie posters that are often better than the original. ...

Meet Mr. Head, a cleaning robot that makes abstract paintings

Painting might be the last thing you'd expect robots to excel at, but some of them produce top quality results. Take Mr. Head , for example. This machine creates paintings in the style of the American abstract expressionism movement. He used to be a vacuum cleaner, but a Japanese engineer, who goes by the name HYdeJII, turned him into an artist.      The build is quite simple. HYdeJII attached four containers filled with acrylic paints into the robot and connected them with tubes. He then programmed the machine to move around a 1,000mm x 1,000mm canvas and squirt different paints. I bet he really likes Pollock and Riopelle.     Check out a video of Mr. Head dripping paint down a canvas after the break. [h/t: Japan Trends ]

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.
