Some pictures I took around the house today....
Riu Tenreiro's illustrations for the book The Celebration are amazing! I love the simple colour scheme, his quirky style and the story board look of the book.
I also really like the the simple illustrative style and limited colour use of Brandon A. Dalmer's work.
I think public art should have presence in the space it's occupying, and for me public art is most effective when it changes the way people react to it, for example the way they move around a sculpture and how it impacts their emotions and sense of space. I think the sculptures of Richard Serra are an excellent example of how public sculpture can alter a person's perception of space. This video shows the installation of Serra's sculpture garden at the MOMA. The shear size of his work is incredible. It is amazing how he challenges a person's perception of space with such simple concave and convex bends in shapes.
My favourite public art space is the Stravinsky Fountain at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Mayle is my newest favourite fashion. I love the Fall 2007 collection. It is all about layering boxy shapes and legs!
Here is something I drew, dreaming of the west coast....
