Dan Witz’s current trompe l’oeil street art is shockingly unnoticeable to most of the people that may pass by. Trompe l’oeil is an art technique using realistic imagery to create the illusion that the imagery is three dimensional.

The sculpture of Andrew Lewicki is playful and transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.  Ordinary cinderblocks are replaced with giant concrete lego blocks. An ordinary manhole cover becomes a delicious, iconic cookie.

As a visual artist, I always enjoy music that inspires me and keeps me going. This post is intended to celebrate great musicians and give visual artists a place to share great musical inspiration.

In complete contrast from yesterday’s post, Leopold van de Ven creates sculpture with minimal color drawing attention to the construction of the object.

Diego Fagundes creates wonderfully detailed, surreal illustrations that are intriguing to study.

Each one of Sarah Dennis’ warm, story book like illustrations are small self contained stories.  Her work brings back memories of childhood, while also quenching my thirst for beautiful artwork.
