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

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.

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.

Blu + Os Gêmeos, make some beautiful and amazing street art.  Blu is responsible for one of the most amazing stop animation paint movies ever, and Os Gemeos are just plain wonderful.
Everywhere I have seen their work, I have loved it.

This Giant piece in Lisbon, wraps around an abandoned building.
