Posted by Fabio 21 September 2009

The Dutch artist Marcel van Eeden produces at least one drawing every day. His sources are photographs, many of them taken from newspapers or magazines.

Posted by Fabio 15 September 2009

Karolina Sobecka’s work is interactive and playful in various ways and her latest piece, named ‘Sniff’, is truly inspiring.

In a similar way, her piece ‘Wildlife’ has a tiger being projected onto buildings from a car that’s moving in different speeds. read more
