When I first saw this I thought what a good idea. I soon realised the idea was much deeper.
Japanese artist Atsuhiro Hayashi created this ‘Polar Ice’ to show the real life situation faced by many arctic animals as the polar ice caps melt. The silicon cups can be bought from Monos.

The Men of the Trees in Guernsey has just launched its new identity and website, both created by Betley Whitehorne.
The charitable Society was founded in 1935 to promote the overall importance of trees and conservation, not just to Guernsey but for the benefit of the entire planet. Trees.gg provides a useful platform for the local group to present new initiatives and inspire support from a growing number of younger conservationists who are keen to act & contribute.

I remember reading about this crazy bike thief in the press a few years ago. He allegedly stole the greatest number of bikes in world history. I recently saw a video made by two film makers who were captivated by the complex character of Igor Kenk and his slightly insane story and even crazier bicycle ‘collection’. They shot alot of film with the view to making a Graphic novel in a cut-up/rough style. This style draws influence from late 70’s punk ‘zines and FV Disco which grew out of Yugoslavia in the ’80’s as a result of easy access to photocopiers but restricted state run print presses. The result is a raw film and the associated Graphic novel.

We have all seen the chalk art illusions (or at least photos of them) but this is the first landscaped illusion I have seen of this kind.
This giant globe was created by artist François Abelanet and sits in the middle of Paris’ City Hall. The illusion took 90 gardeners 5 days to create and covers an area of 1500 square meters.

Wherever you go in the world you will find souvenirs, from replicas of famous landmarks to common sites like the yellow cab of New York. A small percentage of these souvenirs can be charming and collectable, but in my opinion the majority of them are tacky, poorly made junk.
Michael Hughes has travelled the world purchasing these souvenirs, placed them in their original situation and photographed them. Some at a glance could trick your mind to think it’s the actual landmark, where as others really do not and therefore reveal the true cheapness or maybe character of these items. Read more

Landscapes and in this case beaches are Jim Denevan’s canvases for his drawings. At low tide he spends hours creating these large scale temporary works of art, only to be washed away by the sea. Primarily based in California, Jim occasionally ventures into the Navada desert and creates illustrations similar to the famous Nazca Lines.
