the art of doing something.


“The Art of Doing Something is a philosophy I have embraced to create art that I feel good about. I hope it inspires people to get a little more involved in making the world a better place to live in.” – Brian Gossett

That is exactly why I love Brian and why his art makes me happy.






Do you feel like getting up and doing something? Yeah, me too!

P.S.

Do Something out of kindness
to make someone smile
to help for a cause you believe in
that’s bigger than yourself
that makes you happy
for a change
to feed your soul
awesome, or rad
for the kids
not for the money, but for the love
Do Something & feel good again!

When I lose something or someone, I tend to develop some sort of an obsession. One of these obsessions are sugar skull girls – and ‘clown’ girls. No, not the scary clown that I sometimes still wonder about. Why do you want to dress up like that and squirt water? Okay, that is a bit off topic.

My sugar skull girl obsession has been around for a while now and tonight I discovered Jose Lopez. I honestly do not think I will be wrong if I say that he is one of the most talented tattoo artists – as in like… ever. Yes, that was a sarcastic tone, but anyway, I love this man’s art. Please have a look at the rest of his work at Lowrider Tattoo Studios, you will be blown away.

Please tell Jose that Narry sent you, I need to score a few points so that I can get an earlier booking. Wish.

Watch out for arudima too.

paper dreams.


Who said you need fancy gadgets to keep yourself entertained? Like I said earlier, go back to pen and paper. Well, in this case paper and something to cut the paper with.

“Paper Dreams” is a Junior Degree Project, by Kenneth Onulak, that he worked on over his Spring semester at RISD.

“I wanted the animation to have a dream like quality exploring the reality and space in which the dream exists and felt that the cutout technique fit this idea. Color was another consideration that I built into the design of the animation to help enhance the dreamlike qualities of the film. From here the idea grew and as I did studies involving birds, umbrellas, water, trees, and other things I was able to refine my idea and break it down to find the core essentials of the film.”

The final film took 12 weeks to complete, has beautiful music by John Nolan, he thanked his Grandma, and I think I will watch it again – just because.

Anyone can draw on a pair of flip flops, right? Right. Take a closer look though. Husni Muarif is definitely not drawing.

How amazing is this?


This flip flop creation is a tribute to the legendary Indonesian cartoon artist Teguh Santosa.
Does anyone else feel like having a clementine?

francoise nielly.


Recently saw Francoise Nielly colorful artwork and spotted it again this morning. In a way I cannot get enough, maybe it is because I painted my bedroom walls dark grey, and I am now in need of a serious color dose?

Feast your eyes.

mikrokosmos.


Mikrokosmos is an installation with spherical photos that are lit from the inside by Bigert & Bergström. Not quite sure what to make of this, but for some reason it makes me stare. Can’t. Stop. Staring.

shoebox art.


This morning I was looking at an empty shoebox that has been lying next to my bed for the last 2 weeks. Whaaat? Yes, I am a mess. No mo, no mo!



Shoebox Art caught my eye and I might just get a little creative over the weekend.

At first you might wonder, what in the world you can do with these? Wait til you take a closer look at the beautifully crafted luggage by Sarah Williams.


women are heroes.


Having presented his portraits of women in Brazil, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, India, Belgium, Britain and other countries, JR is showing the whole of his “Women” exhibition for the first time. The exhibition has been conceived as a journey through Paris in the open air. Visitors can see it on foot, on bicycle or by riverboat.
