Eat Me

Three is a magic number, yes it is, yes it is - but it's also the name of an art-group consisting of three young Japanese artists who generally choose to remain anonymous. Last January Three staged an interactive installation at Shiseido Egg Gallery titled “eat me.” Roughly 7000 individually packaged candy was hung from the ceiling in the shape of a house. Visitors were encouraged to eat the candy but dispose of the wrappers in the corner of the gallery. The house eventually disappeared at the hands of the visitors, leaving just a pile of trash.

Watercolour Wonders

Believe me - watercolour is not easy at all – it's tricky, you can't really control anything and the colours never turn out how you expect! So I'm very admired by Monica Ramos – a young, humorous and talented illustrator, born in the Philippines and raised in between beaches, mountains and a quiet neighborhood. She graduated from the Illustration program at Parsons the New School of Design with honors and lives in Brooklyn (for now). Painting food is her excuse to eat so much... Via Brown Paper Bag.

The work of Raw Color reflects a sophisticated treatment of material and colour by mixing the fields of graphic design and photography.

Big horns for Smallhorns

London based artist  Sophie Smallhorn exhibits internationally and is commissioned by both private and corporate clients. And I see why. Her talented work explores the relationships between colour, volume and proportion in such a beautiful, graphic way. It looks so simple but trust me - it ain't! Since I loooove wood I choose to show her work with wood and acrylic, but do yourself a favour and check out some of her silkscreen prints here and here. Via Trendland.
