Paintings by Esao Andrews

Growing up in the Arizona desert and now a part of New York City’s creative community, Esao Andrews (featured previously) has carved himself a niche as a unique artist and painter of dark, dreamy worlds. Inhabiting the paintings is a gothic cast of strange creatures and mysterious females. via

The Extraordinary Hyper- Realistic Paintings of  Talana Gamah

Talana Gamah – Artist            Reflections and Rust

I’m a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, who loves to ride and restore my ‘bikes, and to paint. Nowadays I work mainly in acrylics. All of my art is brushwork only, no airbrushing or digital techniques.

I love mechanicals of all types, shapes, ages and conditions and painting same, although my art is not just confined to machinery, as I paint anything that interests me!

I’ve always been interested in textures, and find mechanical rust and decay equally as fascinating as unblemished chrome and reflections. I enjoy painting a machine in context, rather than just as a clinical technical drawing. So, hopefully, the viewer can see a ‘story’ behind the artwork – hinted at by, for example, a pair of gloves left on a seat, a well used patinated saddlebag, or even the setting the ‘bike (or machine) sits in.

My brushwork style tends towards what is nowadays called ‘hyper realistic’, but I also paint fantasy images, and produce sketches, and inkwork, as well as rust or chrome reflecting surfaces!

Painting times. From commission to the 'tah dah’ finish point depends upon the subject (obviously), but a rough guideline is around 3-6 weeks for a highly detailed image. So, if you wanted a special present for yourself or a friend, please bear that in mind.

When I’m not painting, fetlling or riding, I’m starting to set up a website for my art work, but in the meantime, you can find me here:

Thank you Talana

Realistic Wheat-Pasted Figures Playfully Interact with Parisian Streets

Artist Charles Leval, aka Levalet, continues to delight us with his wheat-pasted characters that cleverly interact with their surroundings. Using the streets of Paris as his playground, Levalet installs the realistically-rendered, life-sized figures on tattered buildings and boarded-up windows, sometimes combining his giant drawings with ornate fountains to create the illusion that these architectural elements have suddenly sprung to life.

Levalet’s pastings add an element of fun to the urban environment. They turn distressed locales into makeshift art galleries. Each location is suddenly yet seamlessly turned into the site of an atypical art venue featuring Levalet’s amusing works. These artworks include anything from the image of a young man riding an ostrich to a woman walking her menagerie along a bus stop. And in a nod to the city’s history, there’s even a person about to launch themselves out of a 17th-century style cannon. Each piece is unique and immerses itself into the landscape, making living in the city a more enriching experience. Via MMM

really-shit:

Pantone Smoothies

Swedish born creative Hedvig a Kushner explores the vibrant spectrum of colors produced from her experiments with different smoothie mixtures. She then matches her creations against the pantone matching system for all to adore.

I make a lot of smoothies and noticed it kinda works like mixing paint. Add a strawberry, get a hot pink hue, add some spinach and get a subtle green. Pantone Smoothies is an artsy little project seeking an answer to the question: is it possible to create tasty smoothies in any Pantone color?

The process is pretty simple. I buy colored paper from a local art store, match it to a Pantone swatch, and make the smoothie to match whatever color the swatch is. via
