A slap in the face for Society

11/22/2011 by chicquero

I´m a huge fan of great drawings and illustrations, especially those expressing some great satire. The Polish artist Paul Kuczynski (he needs to improve his website), has a great hand, not to mention his great mind. Take a minute to analyse each of the following images, they all have a great cause and a truthful message behind. In my opinion, his work is very well done in terms of colours, form and production. There is a social political commentary communicated and […]

Au Coin de ma Rue

10/28/2011 by chicquero

Au coin de ma rue – At the corner of my street “Why are my eyes drawn by these people? I don’t think it has anything to do with beauty or esthetics but more with their general attitude. They all have an ‘intangible something’ that reflects into their expression. It’s like their body and face embrace entirely their personality. Anyway, all these lines to express that I was often frustrated not to have my camera when I needed it. Now, […]

The Shoes Appreciation Society

10/10/2011 by chicquero

The Shoes Appreciation Society Humans started wearing shoes about 40,000 years ago, learning to protect their feet by grabbing what was at their reach like bark, leaves and grass. In countries where the climate was warm they developed sandals made out of woven palms, grass and attached to the foot with toe loops, way to go Havaianas. While in cold weather countries, men used the skin of animals, some still do -and that’s no bueno-, for better protection and to preserve the […]

Art in Paper, Paper in Art!

09/28/2011 by chicquero

Jennifer Collier, art in paper. Jennifer practice focuses on creating work from paper; by bonding, waxing, trapping and stitching. She produces unusual paper ‘fabrics’, which are used to explore the ‘remaking’ of household objects. The papers are treated as if cloth, with the main technique employed being stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers themselves serve as both the inspiration and the media for her work, with the narrative of the books and papers suggesting the forms. I love […]

A Beautiful Death, Filler Magazine, Fall 2011 Zhang Jingna was born in the suburbs of Beijing, then she moved to Singapore at the age of eight. At 14, a mere nine months after picking up air rifle, she broke the national record and joined the national team. Two years later, she left Raffles Girls’ School to pursue a degree in fashion design.

Icons, anatomy, celebrities and patterns!

09/20/2011 by chicquero

George Chamoun. (is that your cousin Lailah? lol) He is a 26 year old guy from Stockholm, Sweden. Currently studying Jewellery Art. I love the way he uses celebrities photographs, from two different eras, to create something quite unique and interesting. A fusion between patterns, shapes, and the anatomy of the artists. He named the project Iconatomy from the words “icon” and “anatomy.” Natalie Portman - Audrey Hepburn George Clooney – Cary Grant Angelina Jolie – Elizabeth Taylor Robert Pattinson – James Dean Scarlett […]

Corsets, Love and a small waist.

Ethel Granger Ethel Mary Wilson Born: April 12th. 1905 Chesterton Died: Jan-Mar 1982 Peterborough Until 1998, the Guinness Book listed Ethel Granger as having the smallest waist on record at 13 inches/33 cm (probably my arm), before she started wearing her corsets, she had a natural waist of 22 inches. Her story has intriged me quite a bit, she was doing everything for love and fashion corsets. Her husband William died before Ethel, who passed away in 1982. After William died, Ethel kept […]

Monday.. a beautiful day!

Monday.. We all do things in our daily lives and we all do simple stuff every day, without realizing how beautiful our life really is.. In other words, we are hushed by our modern life style.

I love to observe the simplicity of everyday life images, usually we don´t pay much attention to them. Symmetry, the first one, is brilliant! Check it […]

Garbage dress by the rocker Zana Bane. I appreciate her trashy, edgy, leatherish concept. Take a dark walk into her blog, interesting stuff going on.

Sweet Meat

Austrian artist and photographer, Jasmin Schuller, used real meat to create this series called “Sweet Meat”. Jasmin sets the bar for outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. She used plenty of meat scraps, two liters of blood, a bucket of animals grease and five kilos of raw meat, and processed them all into mouth-watering treats. I see this work as a form of a creative sarcasm, can you smell the irony? a bitch slap to the modern society. Perfect for a […]

Billboard reconstruction by Thom Thom

Thom Thom aka Hephaestus or Thomas Louis Jacques Schmitt This French urban artist works only on billboards, where he cuts, slices, and re-sticks to reconstruct the advertising message. We love the details, shapes and colours. The process of “reconstructing images” from their most singular, original layout, to a creative transformation method, using other imagery, is pretty impressive. Check out some of Thom Thom’s work .
