Regresiones (work in process)
Apparently these are not so new, but I just saw them for the first time yesterday.
A lot of composite work is generally passable, but this work in progress by Alejandro “Alex” Castro has a really interesting, sensitive and expressive quality to it.
In some ways it is sad and frustrating, a reminder of the destruction we have wrought on our planet. 


You can find more of his work here: Behance (he needs to move to Dripbook.) and his blog here: Formamag
James Jean, Spread from Sketchbook- Sasha Grey, Ink and Acrylic, 9 x 10”, 2009.
Very shmood work by James Jean.
An artist who has done a lot of traditional comic/graphic illustration work; recently though, I have been attracted to his less illustrative more expressive paintings.

I also found this interesting collaborative project between James Jean and Kenichi Hoshine whose work I also like: A Polite Winter
James is immensely talented, with an amazing range.
Definitely go trough his site completely if you have a minute or thirty.
I have always been fascinated by Andy Goldsworthy’s work.
It has attracted me as it is at the confluence of some of my most ardent interests; conceptualism, environmentalism, naturalism and to a certain extant modernist thought.
Here are some of his older pieces, I found them on the flickr stream Old Chum which has pretty random great stuff on it.
I can’t seem to find the pieces names/dates for some reason, so please comment names if you know them. 

Wow is all I can say about the above, the reflection and setting are magical.




The following pieces from sculpture.org.uk


Big Bang Big Boom, 2010 by Italian artist Blu
This is one of the most amazing stop animation pieces I have seen.
I got a glimpse of it in August, and I kept thinking about it, until recently when I bumped into the collab work he has done with Os Gêmeos. a lot of nice work from him can be found all around europe and all around the world.
Hombre Banano, Managua, Nicaragua, 2005
