This project feels like it takes a sneaky peek behind that media curtain of political correctness. Based in Canada, artist Jon Rafman (www.jonrafman.com or @jonrafman) captures the scenes that Google Street View didn’t intend for you to see in his project ‘The Nine Eyes of Google Street View’.

I have a bit of a thing for artists who have the ability to paint with photo-like clarity. LA-based artist Jeff Ramirez is one outstanding example where you really have to look closely to work out whether his work is a photo or a painting. Beautiful.

Determination, perseverance and talent (oh…and time!).

Artist - Miguel Endara - from Miami, Florida - created an 11 x 17 inch portrait of his father using the painstaking method of stippling (dotting using a 0.2mm nib and ink). After approximately 11 months (or 210 hours and 3,213,000 dots), Miguel completed the stunning portrait by hand.

You can find other examples of his stunning work here

If there ever was such a thing as ‘the full package of talent’ then Mike would come top of the pile. Amazing artist - amazing musician.

The multi-talented Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park speaks about his 2009 LA-based art exhibit ‘Glorious Excess (Dies)’. Gallery thumbnails of the exhibit are available here.

Just wow. First saw this short (‘Pixels’) by Patrick Jean a couple of years ago when it was first screened in 2010 - still awesome, still unbelievable. Enjoy.

This feels like one of those projects I can’t help feeling a little bit morbid for liking - but I was instantly taken in by the contrast between the vivid colours Disney is loved for and the darker concepts behind the prints.

French photographer Thomas Czarnecki’s eerie yet intriguing new project sees several Disney heroines meeting their demise. Well-known characters such as Cinderella, Snow White and The Little Mermaid are shown face down in this series of beautiful photographs as the audience is literally left wondering just what happened instead of that ‘happily ever after’.

I love installations that pop up around London and make you sit up and take note as a commuter.

Scottish artist, Robert Montgomery’s latest art installation featuring poetry covered billboards focusing on ‘Capitalism’ and the ‘Occupy’ movement has landed in Old Street (opposite the Magistrate’s Court), London as part of his new exhibition entitled ‘It turned out this way cos you dreamed it this way.

So when you feel like trying again, reach out take my hand see how great it could be,

To fall in love with someone you can trust, who would never give up, cause your all that he needs.

New Michael Pinsky installations in London

Dotted around London are several new art installations by Michael Pinsky as part of his new Plunge series.

‘Pinsky looks ahead to 3012 to show us where the height of the oceans will sit if nothing is done to stop it… he hasn’t half brightened up some of London’s monuments!’

Every night I remember that evening
The way you looked when you said you were leaving
The way you cried as you turned to walk away
The cruel words and the false accusations
The mean looks and the same old frustrations
I never thought that we’d throw it all away
But we threw it all away
And I’m a little bit lost without you
And I’m a bloody big mess inside
And I’m a little bit lost without you
This aint a love song this is goodbye

The Little People Project...

The Little People Project...:

I am certainly guilty of forgetting the little things in life. More often than not, these are precisely the little things that are able to entice a smile on a cloudy day - and so it did :-)

The project has been around for a while now but is definitely one that doesn’t deserve to be forgotten.

‘The Little People Project’ is both a street art installation and photography project by UK-based artist Slinkachu which ‘plays with the notion of surprise’ and ‘aims to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings’.

Amazing talent. ‘Pavement artist Joe Hill was commissioned to draw the scene to celebrate the release of a Hollywood film Man on a ledge’.

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

Banksy in London Walk...:

A must-see and must-do for Banksy lovers everywhere.

Huge plus that this talent is right on the doorstep (this is way up there on the to-do list for 2012).

Though I know you’ll never love me like you used to.
There maybe other people like us
You see the flicker of the clip when they light up
Flames just create us, burns don’t heal like before
You don’t hold me anymore.

Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don’t wanna try things I wanna try
Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually
Got a lot more friends and I don’t have to pretend
Since you’re gone, since you’re gone
