Rackham Fairy and Fairy Tale Art (Arthur Rackham)

Graffiti Art & Graphic Design | Home | neckcns.com Peter Paul Rubens - The complete works Adele K Thomas Daily Scribbles Street Art Comes Alive! (20 pics + video) South African artist Robin Rhode takes street art to a whole new level by adding in performances. Using everyday materials like chalk, charcoal or paint, he conjures up creative stories and then adds in actors to his "plays." What starts out as a simple drawing of figures and shapes, magically transforms itself into a clever piece of performance street art! Most interestingly, Rhode often returns to his native South Africa, creating pieces on the streets of Johannesburg that address social issues like poverty and inequality. Watch this video to get to know the artist.

Irish Art Archive - William John Hennessy - Milmo-Penny Fine Art Hennessy spent the summer months in Normandy where he had a residence close to the port of Honfleur. A school of painting, based in Saint Siméon’s Inn, was already well established there. Corot, Isabey and Huet were amongst the first painters of the group. Boudin, who was born there, invited Courbet, Jongkind and Monet to join them. It was at this time that Boudin encouraged Monet to paint in the open air and it was this activity that led to the advent of Impressionism. Hennessy might have had this in mind when he painted An Impressionist at Work; Scene in a Normandy Cider Orchard, which he sent to the Royal Academy in 1881. Scenes set in cider orchards recur many times in Hennessy’s work. The apples are shaken from the tree by a man with a long pole.

Port Out, Starboard Home: Gráinne Ní Mháille Gráinne Ní Mháille, or Grace O'Malley. Just a personal piece of 'Tudorpunk' shennanigans, women in doublet and hose, swords, cigars and flintlocks! ;) I've taken a few liberties with the costume, mixing up appropriate Elizabethan with a bit of Napoleonic, and she was supposed to have trimmed her hair short, so you could see this as her a little older perhaps... Gráinne Ní Mháille was a really interesting 'pirate', clan chief and real life heroine of Ireland, who met Elizabeth 1st and generally kicked a lot of bottom in the 16th century! Photoshop CS2, drawn from scratch based on an old sketch I did for a Character of the Week challenge that I never finished. And a close up.

Cool Star Wars Graffiti Star Wars has embedded itself in to public consciousness throughout the world. It has also served as inspiration for artists who have grown up with the movies and ultimately develop their own artistic take, not always it has to be said in a strictly legal manner. Graffiti is loved by some and loathed by many but it would have to be a hard hearted Star Wars fan who didn't crack a smile when confronted with these. These Walkers can be found in Brighton, Massachussets. Sometimes fun can be had with a little movie mix and match. These Reservoir Storm Troopers are in the Waterloo area of London, UK. Darth Vader makes his inevitable appearance in Atlanta, Georgia. ...you guessed it. There is only one Star Wars King of Cool, however. Returning briefly to Brighton, MA, Han acknowledges his position as coolest being in the galaxy with his usual taciturn monosyllabism. There must be something about Star Wars and towns with the name of Brighton. Always remember - Chewie is your friend.

Brilliant Street Art by Mobstr [20 pics] Sep 14, 2010 Hailing from the United Kingdom (Newcastle to be exact), street artist Mobstr employs a combination of stencils and cheeky quips to challenge the way we view public space. Whether he’s co-opting billboards, battling the local authorities or just having a little fun, Mobstr’s work is sure to bring a grin to any fan of street art. Enjoy a sample of his terrific work below and be sure to check out his FLICKR PAGE for more provocative work. What is public space and why do you work in it? I guess I think of public space in a city as the areas in which everyone is allowed physical access to. Why do you feel you have the right to use public space and in particular public advertising space? Our visual surroundings are very important to us. What’s your favourite experiences in public involving a person you didn’t know? I am not sure if it is one of my favourite experiences but it is interesting. If you enjoyed this post, the Sifter highly recommends:
