Some pigeons are more equal than others

“german artist julius von bismark teamed up with swiss photographer julian charrière in this controversial live art installation: a “pigeon-apparatus” was created for the Venice Architecture Biennial on a city rooftop. When the birds flew into it, they were trapped and airbrushed various colors in non-toxic paint before being released back over the city.”

have a look at these amazing constructed-in-situ photographs of american photographer thomas jackson.  he constructs all his images as installations and uses as little photoshop as possible as a matter of principle in his work.

japanese artist, shintaro ohata, combines two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements in his works by depicting everyday scenery in his paintings together with beautifully intergrated character sculptures…

this is my new “artist crush”, australian illustrator charles santoso.  his harry potter interpretation and “monster noms” are just brilliant…

recycled creatures

french sculptor edouard martinet uses myriad discarded parts from old bicycles, cars, and mopeds to create these astonishingly anatomically correct representations of sea life, birds, amphibians, and insects…i like the schwinn pigeon in particular!
