really-shit : Ink cloud portraits from South African digital artist Chris Slabber . Artist Statement - “All of us has at some point been confronted with ourselves. A self from the past, the future or even as we are now. The question is, would you recognise you? When you are a coward, would you recognize the hero inside? When you suffocate can you reclaim your breath? When you are down, can you get back up? When you live too much in future’s past, can you bring yourself back too reality? Can you be true?” follow our website for more | twitter

Lifelike Galvanized Wire Animal Sculptures by Kendra Haste Working only with layers of painted galvanized wire atop steel armature, UK artist Kendra Haste creates faithful reproductions of creatures large and small for both public installations and private collections around the world. A graduate of the from the Royal College of Art, Haste says she is fascinated by how such a seemingly ordinary medium, chicken wire, is capable of suggesting “the sense of movement and life, of contour and volume, the contrasts of weight and lightness, of solidity and transparency—values that I find in my natural subjects.”  In 2010, Historic Royal Palaces commissioned Haste to fabricate thirteen sculptures around the Tower of London that will remain on view through 2021. You can see much more in this online gallery , and as part of the Art and the Animal exhibition currently at the Ella Carothers Dunnegan Gallery of Art in Missouri. Thanks Colossal.

Dayv Mattt: Interview with a Genius Dayv Mattt sat down with The Chromatic Watch on a sunny Saturday to chat about his work, share some knowledge, and tell us about his new book, High Street Low Street Colombo . Cross Connect: How do you think your photography’s changed over the years? What do you think you’ve gotten better at and what are you still working on? Dayv Mattt: I really had to sit down and think about this one for a few minutes. I mean I think my photography has gotten better over the years, but I can’t really say why. I don’t think the way I shoot street photography has changed since I started doing it, but certainly the way I process the photos has, and I have worked hard to limit the number of shots I keep and publish. In my early days, I was like that annoying dude on instragram who posts every single shot. I am always willing to work on my post processing, and for my next project, I am contemplating a serious shift, but I have not figured out what
