Jeffrey Scott Campbellis an American comic book artist. Rose to fame as an artist for WildStorm Comics, though he has since done work for Marvel Comics, & the video game industry. This is his collection of fairytale princesses found in cartoons --his princesses are provocative, challenging and sexy. Campbell provides us the opportunity to enjoy the stories of The Little Mermaid, Cinderella & Little Red Riding Hood … That’s nice of him!
Large scale art displays, also known as 'installation art', are one of my favorite interests. Hope you like it. Enjoy.
This is a giant passed-out monkey sculpture made out of flip-flops in São Paulo, Brazil, to celebrate Pixel Show, an international art and design conference. Because if there are two things that go hand in hand in this world, it's drunk monkeys and art. Don't believe me? How do you think Picasso was so prolific? Because he painted practically nonstop? Oh. Nevermind then. Fat Monkey [zeutch]

Back at the start of the 20th century, they had some pretty sweet travel posters. These days, they’re called “vintage” or “art-deco,” perhaps because they make us think of happier places and times. And thanks to illustrator Steve Thomas, now they also make us think of Star Wars.
According to Thomas, these babies, eight in total and all shown below, are two years in the making. They depict locations in Star Wars like Tatooine and Dagobah and also advertise things like Kessel Run Tours and a Rogue Squadron Airshow above Yavin 4. (Which, we’re just saying, would be totally killer.)
Peruse the gallery of original prints, below, and be sure to check out Steve Thomas’ blog post about them here.
JR is an anonymous photographer and artist and the 2011 TED Prize winner. In his work, JR embeds into neighborhoods, favelas and villages around the world, photographing the people who live there and learning their stories — and then pasting his striking images onto massive local canvases: buildings, buses, roads and bridges. His latest global art project is called "Women Are Heroes."
JR embodies the many characteristics TED looks for in a winner: creativity, vision, leadership, and persuasion. His work is not just stunning. It is innovative, using collaborative storytelling techniques, which move the art of photography in a new and exciting direction. His work is about unlocking the power of possibility, revealing our true selves to those who live around us and then sharing those stories far and wide.
JR attracts loyalty and respect from both his subjects, his friends and volunteers who help him mount all of his exhibitions. The scale of his work is huge, not just the size of each individual portrait, or the amount of space each exhibition covers in one place, but the number of communities and countries each project involves.
Architecture firm, Howeler and Yoon are about to open this interactive piece in Philadelphia in a matter of days. The orbs are made vacuum formed PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol), a milky colored, translucent, and recyclable material. Each pod can communicate with the others via radio signal, so people who interact with the pods on land can effect the pods in the water. If more than one user interacts with the pods at a time, more changes occur, encouraging people to play with the installation and create new combinations of color and motion. Side note: I think it's hilarious that after all the advanced electronics and thought that have gone into this project, the tops and bottoms of the floating orbs are held together with binder clips, as you can see in the last picture. Classic.
Peter Jansen creates sculptures that focus on the body’s movement freeze-framed in time and space. Working with Materialise.MGX, Jansen is able to produce polyamide figures by using a rapid prototyping process that makes good use of the Materialise.MGX technology. Heel Daoyin, Runner and Thomas Flair were part of the Materialise.MGX exhibition in Milan’s Zona Tortona last month, and Jansen’s work, all arms, legs and muscles, was the perfect vehicle to understand some of the process.
