United Kingdom artist INSA was asked by Tate Britain, a gallery located in London, England, to create pieces inspired by the work of artist Chris Ofili. One of the works INSA created were a pair of crazy heels called “Anything goes when it comes to (s)hoes…” (The title of the piece is a lyric from a Big Daddy Kane song.) More »

Japanese illustrator Mokaffe really loves combining two of the things I love the most into her illustrations: dessert and girly art! A lot of my favorite works by her involve dessert. Not that you’re surprised or anything. For the record, I’ll have you know that I do not drool over my laptop all day or lick my screen all day. You might want to restrain yourself when you see these babies: More »

Artist Scott Hove’s Cakeland art installation shows that you can have your cake but not eat it. Why? His installation is composed of various sculptures that resemble the most delicious cake you’ve ever tasted…only nothing is made out of cake. The point of this is to express the fact that the nature of real cake is fleeting — it’s perfect, then you digest it and it’s gone. The cakes in this installation however, last forever. Just don’t eat anything. More »

The internet loves cats as evidence shows with the ridiculous popularity of lolcats. I, admittedly, have spent many hours wasted on I Can Has Cheezeburger awing, laughing, and crying at the adorable kittehz. I love cats as much as the internet, even when they wear clothes. In Tim Barber’s photography series, “Kitty City,” cute kittens not only wear clothes, but are living everyday life in the city as we humans live it. These photographs are featured in Fuse Gallery’s exhibit Animalania. More »

Recently I made a new friend in my design class [yay!] who introduced me to the works of a very talented and compassionate artist from Portland, Oregon, named Kurt Halsey. His paintings and drawings are very simple and sweet, as is his view on animals:

I cherish and am consumed by the companionship and magic of animals. I do not eat them or their by-products, wear their skin, or support companies that torture them for science. It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal. More »

According to good ‘ol wiki (because I could not have put it any better myself),

“Latte art is a style of pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso that creates a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte. It can also be created or embellished by simply “drawing” in the top layer of foam. Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and milk. This, in turn, is limited by the experience of the barista and quality of the espresso machine. The pour itself, then, becomes the last challenge for the latte artist.” More »

Merriam-Webster describes a femme fatale as “a woman who attracts men by an aura of charm and mystery.” Dunny is a combination of the words devil and bunny (based from an original prototype).
