Peter Jansen

These amazing sculptures are by Peter Jansen and represent movements of the human body but shown in one static frame. The energetic shapes that are created show the skilled precision involved in sculpture.

Jud Turner

Here are some images of my favourite two sculpts by Jud Turner, an artist that likes to work with objects that he has found, such as welded steel and re used consumer products. His aims in his artwork are to raise awareness of the passing of time, environmental sustainability and the connection between nature and technology.

Richard Wilkinson

I love Richard Wilkinson's striking style of drawing. He has had careers in music and sound design which led to work in commercials and motion graphics. With a degree in Fine Art he began to work as an illustrator in 2006 and has worked for the New Scientist magazine, The Telegraph, Time magazine, Harper Collins, Penguin books and many more. Check out his blog to see work in progress videos of some of his pieces.

Blown away

This explosive artwork is by Alexandre Farto aka Vhils. He places explosives specifically so that when they detonate an image is created in the plaster on the wall. The piece is a collaboration with Orelha Negra, a Portugese hip hop band.

Jason Thielke

Jason Thielke is a fine artist graduate from the Northern Illinois University School of Art. His swirling lines are used to show the beauty of the human form and positive energy. He uses the straight lines as a way of showing his intent and manipulation. His pieces explore body language, eye contact and interaction.

Tiny Stop Motion Animation by Aardman

`

This is a really sweet animation by Sumo Science at Aardman. What actually surprised me is that it is filmed on a Nokia N8 with a microscope attached. The girl "Dot" is only 9mm tall!
