Suspect And Fugitive

I am inspired. I found a great blog created by an amazing artist who makes temporary food art from the most common things. You MUST check out Suspect And Fugitive and also go see the entire collection of amazing portrait art on flickr.

"suspect and fugitive is a year long project where i make an item a day out of suspect (questionable) and fugitive (non archival) materials."


Here are some of my personal favorites...

Inigo Montoya made with Hello my name is labels:

Green Plastic Rings By Carrotbox For St. Patty's Day

I found The Carrotbox somehow and love love love their rings, especially their green rings being that green is my favorite color and St. Patrick's Day is approaching so it is quite appropriate to discuss the "GREEN". Actually, all of her rings are gorgeous!! I have a thing for bulky plastic rings and I am proud yo say I am a BIG Carrotbox fan. A little about them, just so you know where it all came from....

Quoted from her site:

"The Carrotbox is a site dedicated to all those wonderful rings made of glass, lucite, resin, plastic, jade, wood, bakelite and even stone — anything, as long as it's not metal!

Why Glass and Plastic Rings?

It all started because I'm allergic to metals. I can occasionally wear sterling for short periods of time, but never on my fingers — and never anything that only looks like silver or gold. But I'd love glass and plastic even if I weren't allergic to "regular" rings. They're fun. And colourful. And inexpensive... usually."

So go and buy lots of rings from them. They even have a blog for updates on what they are currently making plus info on other jewelers! So check 'em out.

Street Art In NYC

Having grown up in NYC, graffiti was all around me .... tags littered walls, phone booths and trains, but there have always been the street artists as well, Keith Haring being the most famous. Back in the 80's, he was inspired by graffiti art and began making chalk drawings on blank advertising panels in New York subway stations.

I was just looking through Streetsy, a website dedicated to street art and found some interesting pieces I thought I'd share with you. When you are looking for something different than museum art, go check the some of the street photos. The guy posts about 7 pics a day and others upload photos as well from other cities, so it's a mix.

There is so much going on in this photo. Click on it to get more detail. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
