good weather also presents many of the original crafted objects composed from combining an array of materials such as paper, textile, and stones to mundane everyday items from fruits and rubber bands to car tires.

meticulously created with analog handicraft instead of using a computer, sarah illenberger’s richly-detailed work opens up new perspectives on seemingly familiar, iconographically-charged
forms and content. she expertly avoids imbuing her materials and subjects with artificial significance or forcing a meaning upon them. instead, illenberger’s penetrating creative eye reveals their true
essence—one that has usually remained hidden just under the surface from our fleeting and routine everyday glances.

sarah illenberger’s visual language is extremely effective at translating content, data, and ideas into vivid, often humorous images. whether big or small, abstract or complex, the subjects and
problems of our times are pointedly depicted by this renowned illustrator and designer in concise visual forms. the conceptual strength, descriptive intensity, and spatial finesse of her style make her
work particularly attractive for international magazines that are looking for a catchy and entertaining way to illustrate their articles.

Pablo Picasso - Nature morte

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Nature morte signed and dated 'Picasso 25. Av. 37.' (centre right) oil on canvas 15 x 24 1/8 in. (38 x 61.1 cm.) Painted on 25 April 1937  There is an intensely poetic atmosphere to Nature morte, painted in 1937. Stars are glowing in the night sky, while the foreground is dominated by the accoutrements and accessories of a leisured and contemplative evening. Pipe and book lie alongside a drink and a candelabra, hinting at the passing of an evening of solitary pleasures, both of the mind and of the body. The lyricism of the scene is heightened by the swirling curlicues of the balcony in the background, as though this evening were being spent in the countryside, rather than in Paris. As though it was the Eighteenth Century and a time of peace, rather than a metropolis, with the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. While there is undoubtedly an air of whimsy to Nature morte, the picture - both in terms of composition and content - also reveals

'gulp' by aardman all images courtesy aardman 'gulp', a short film created by  sumo science  at  aardman , has broken a world record for the 'largest stop-motion animation'. completely shot using a 12-megapixel cellphone camera on a nokia N8, the project was set on 11,000 m2 of sand on south wales' pendine beach. props include a full-scale boat and a rain-jacket clad actor to tell a harrowing episode of a fisherman's time at sea. the short involved a large team that raked and smoothed out patterns on the sand to create a seascape--and the inside of a whale's belly--when viewed from above. shot from a large crane overhead, the images were then compiled to run at 25 frames per second to create the stop-motion effect. make sure to check out the making-up film embedded at the bottom of the page.

Marc Chagall (1887-1985) Les mariés de la Tour Eiffel signed 'Marc Chagall' (lower left) oil on canvas 35 x 45 7/8 in. (88.9 x 116.6 cm.) Painted in 1928  Les mariés de la Tour Eiffel is one of Marc Chagall’s most romantic paintings of the 1920s, celebrating the love between the artist and his wife, Bella, as they entered a new phase of security and contentment in their lives. Painted in 1928, the work features a double portrait of the couple as they tenderly embrace one another in the shadow of the iconic Eiffel Tower. An angelic figure bearing the features of their daughter, Ida, floats through an open window to their left, arm outstretched as she delivers an offering of a bouquet of flowers to the pair. Around the figures, a panoramic view of Paris reveals the gaiety of the city in the 1920s, with detailed representations of circus performers, lovers strolling through the city, and tiny cars featured against a vibrant vermillion ground. Above this scene, two youthf
