Alex Garant’s “Double Eyes” paintings mess with my head in an awesome way and I love them.

Geoffrey Stein is a New York City artist painting figurative work that explores the tension between abstraction and realism.

I am absolutely loving the paintings of Conor Harrington.  Living somewhere between street art and more “traditional” painting, Harrington’s artwork combines character and controlled styles from the 17th-18th centuries with vibrant color and free-flowing movement found in the street art of today.  

Mademoiselle Maurice breathes vivid color into the streets with Rainbow, a colorful array of folded paper origami.

Shai Dahan just wrapped up work on a very large piece painted on the wall which separates Isreal and Palestine.  Dahan has filled his portfolio with many awesome street and gallery works.

This looks like an inspiring story and an awesome foundation. The Not Impossible Foundation is working to create solutions for impossible challenges. The EyeWriter is the first of these challenges and they are working with TEMPT to develop the technology.
