Things I Think Are Kinda Cool

My friends know that I have a thing for dice – it all kicked off when I read the spectacular book, “The Dice Man”, by Luke Rhinehart.  Read it…trust me.  But as much as I love those little cubes, artist Anthony Cragg is OBSESSED.  Check out these ridiculously amazing dice sculptures.

It’s true, it’s World Water Day, and Shinchi Maruyama’s already partying!  He creates stunning art by throwing water in the air and taking photos of the shapes it makes mid-flight:

Artist Noah Scalin has a thing for skulls – he created a different one out of everyday objects every day for a year:

Artist Peter Callesen gets excited when he sees a sheet of boring A4 paper…he uses his imagination and an X-acto knife to create stunningly detailed works of art.  Callesen says he’s “found a material which we are all able to relate to, and at the same time is non-loaded and neutral, and therefore easier to fill with different meanings.  The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic themes of the work.”  Here are some of my favorite pieces from Callesen’s ‘A4 Papercut’ collection:

-”Half Way Through” (2006)

—

-”Impenetrable Castle” (2005)

—

-”Snowballs” (2005)

—

-”Down the River” (2005)

—

-”Do Not Enter” (2006)

—

-”Little Erected Ruin” (2007)
