Visual Bits #213> Make Art Not War
Sam3–Anonymity is a voice for all of us
In the tradition of other artists like Blu and Banksy, Sam3 keeps his true identity hidden from the public. His giant city murals are awesome silhouettes of surreal figures portraying the most imaginative of scenarios. Much of the work calls for some thought about society with animals controlling humans or our cars becoming coffins. There is nothing like some thought provoking murals to fill giant ugly walls in cities.

We Love Friday! – Shadow Games
Happy Friday to all of our lovely readers out there! It’s time to celebrate the end of the work week with a little photo fun. Photographer Scott Bourne has said, “where light and shadow fall on your subject – that is the essence of expression and art through photography.” Shadows are such a key element in creating beautiful photography that we wanted to do what would seem impossible- put shadows in the spotlight- the figurative spotlight of our weekly We Love Friday post, of course.

Facetted Figure Illustrations by Giampaolo Miraglia
When you think of facetted geometric works, “soft” is rarely the thought that follows.

He does this using a combination of carefully chosen harmonious color pallets along with warn textures overlaying the entire scene… and what scenes they are. [Read more...]

More Mountains of Books: New Work by Guy Laramee
When I first ran across the work of Guy Laramee, I was completely floored. This fellow really knows how to do some inspired book carving, taking discarded unloved books like old encyclopedias or dictionaries and transforming them into meditative landscapes. While plenty controversial with the book lovers out there, most people can still see the beauty and exceptional creativity involved in these sculptural masterpieces. [Read more...]
The Secret to a Sound Ocean
Acoustics mean different things to different species. As humans, we need sound to hear our favorite music, the roar of the crowd (insert activity here), and sirens so we don’t get flattened by a firetruck or freight train. While hearing is an enjoyable part of living a fulfilled life, we can get by without it. Whales on the other hand, have a harder time. Whales are auditory creatures, meaning hearing is essential to their communication, navigation, feeding, and breeding. Imagine if we couldn’t hear then we couldn’t breed? I’d rather go blind.

Cell By Cell: Why We Haven’t Cured Cancer
The thought of getting cancer, and having your life cut short years before it should, is a constant fear we live with in our modern world. You can be walking down the street completely healthy, having the time of your life, when you realize something doesn’t feel right. You go to the doctor complaining of your ailment, and that’s when everything changes: they’ve found something, and it’s not good. We have all known someone throughout our lives that has been affected by this heinous disease, and with all of the medical advances made in the last 50 years we have to question: why hasn’t a cure been found?
