Kreatworks

Today we feature something not well-know, but (as always) interesting. This artistic collective from India uses scrap metal to form these futuristic, steampunk-ish sculptures. They are open for commissions and often update their portfolio, so be sure to check them out!

Space Invaders

On my trip to Paris this summer I've seen many awesome things. People storming bookstores. Acrylic sculptures of terriers for 40 Euro. Special discount for a sex club entrance.
Amongst these things there was curious kind of street art - mosaics resembling a pixel alien, as seen in the "Space Invaders" game. People who had Nokias back in early 2000's know what I mean. (The game itself originated in 70's in Japan) Those were hidden from public eyesight, avaiable only for those who looked up or went to places normally avoided.

I've seen some kind of guide mentioning those with one sentence only.But after I got home I accidentally found out that those mosaics are not typically parisian thing - they were created by a worldwide movement which adopted the name and the logo. The Space Invaders.

I couldn't find much about them than they wanted me to know - an international art movement with people involved all over the world, few exhibitions, that's all. The cube art I have presented few days ago was made by them. Ok, let the image take over from now.

P.S.: anyone near me interested in starting a local SI division? ;)

RubikCubism

So, some time ago I posted about guy who made a mosaic based solely on Rubik's Cubes. Well, turns out, he's not the only one. After a bit of research, I found out about the world record - 12090 cubes. Now that's dedication! Or insanity. But awesomeness for sure!

 

Also, underground French art movement Space Invaders apparently make those too. More on SI coming soon (I hope!)

Pete Fecteau - The Cube Guy

Nope, not he the Cube (if you haven't watched it yet, do it now!). I mean Rubik's Cube. The riddle, toy, annoying shit, call it as you wish, but Mr. Fecteau can do some awesome artwork with those. Artwork? Made of Rubik's Cubes? Aye. Just take a look.

Too much free time? Maybe. It took him a year to create this piece.

Debbie Smyth

That's a nice picture we got here, right? (I know it's a bit small :( )
But it ain't an ordinary pencil-drawn mural! Thatthing is made with... thread. Yup, a thread. Artist Debbie Smyth creates her original artwork with pins and black thread wrapped around it. There's a video about this particural work and other works in general

Are you a Party Animal?

Going to a party tonight, therefore I post something party-related. For a typical party you need good company, booze/weed and music. Loud music. Music with something we call "pierdolnięcie" in Poland.

German artist Nik Nowak knows what I mean. This is his fearsome creation:

 

Yes. It is a TANK. With a SOUND SYSTEM. And it is HUGE.

Rainbow fireplace!

Fireplaces are cool. No arguing about that. Rainbows are also cool. What happens when we mix those elements? Awesome. That's what happens.

For merely 20 bucks you can have something like this in your own fireplace. unitednuclear.com offers a ready-to-use chemicals mix that will make your BBQ really extraordinary. Just add some alcohol, water, pour it on wood and - voila! now you can... well, don't know what you can do, but it's definitely awesome.

I wouldn't make s'mores on it, though.
