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.

The clothing brand UNIQLO is the leader in Japanese casual wear. I came across this well designed calendar site a while back and having revisited and seen that they have updated the movie clips in accordance with the seasons, I though it was worth blogging.
Using clips from hundreds of cities in Japan, they have cleverly applied the now popular tilt shift effect which gives the illusion that the buildings, boats, people, etc… are miniature models. The visuals are enhanced by the big block colour calendar on the right, which colour’s change to either compliment or contrast the movie clip on the right.
Visit UNIQLO’s site to see these moorish mini movies.

For a long time I have been fascinated in finding faces in objects, whether it be buildings, house hold items or in nature. This goofy character was found around the back of a hotel in Guernsey. The eyes were given pupils by the hotel logo while the saggy curtain produced his buck teeth. Read more

‘The Little People Project’ is the work of London based photographer and street installation artist Slinkachu.
Slinkachu places these tiny scenarios out in the world, photographs them, then leaves them to be discovered by the public, hoping to install the thought of how small and insignificant we actually are among the other 6.5 billion people living in our world. Check them out!

Vertigo can be a debilitating affliction but for this video I think it heads into the realm of extreme acrophobia, I certainly felt uncomfortable watching it but for the workmen and many like them this is a daily occurrence. This is their office. Read more

Continuing with giant theme for today is a new website by the BBC that allows you to superimpose events, places and things on different parts of the world to compare scale. Want to see how big the Glastonbury Festival would be in Guernsey, or scale of Pakistan’s floods? How Big Really allows you to do that and truly appreciate the scale. I think it works particularly well in Guernsey due to our small size and clear geographic boarders

Pylons draping their power-lines across the landscape is not something we have to worry about in Guernsey, but if we did I’d want ours to look like these. Still at the conceptual stage I’m not sure they’ll ever get made — there must be a lot of structural and performance considerations — but I think someone should try.
