SU BLACKWELL.

Do you ever come across an Artist or a particular Art Series
 that you love soooo much and is so undeniably your style that you think,

"Why didn't I think of this?????"

Well thanks to Visual News 
I have found an artist that I am severely jealous of.....


Little Red Riding Hood, 2010

"I often work within the realm of fairy-tales and folk-lore. I began making a series of book-sculpture, cutting-out images from old books to create three-dimensional diorama’s, and displaying them inside wooden boxes." ~ Blackwell

 Edensor, Derbyshire, A Guide to, 2009

Out of Narnia,  2009

Down the Rabbit Hole, 2009

The Woodcutter’s Hut, 2008

Jorinde and Jorindel, 2010

Pandora opens Box, 2009

"For the cut-out illustrations, I tend to lean towards young-girl characters, placing them in haunting, fragile settings, expressing the vulnerability of childhood, while also conveying a sense of childhood anxiety and wonder. There is a quiet melancholy in the work, depicted in the material used, and choice o of subtle colour." ~Blackwell

Betty in Cloudland, 2007

Birds of the Open Forest, blue, 2006

Wild Flowers, 2006

Hazel Tree detail, 2010


"Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. I employ this delicate, accessible medium and use irreversible, destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions." ~Blackwell

DISNEY REMIXES by POGO

I came across these Disney-based remixes and 
I couldn't resist posting about them...

They are made using only sound clips from the movie.  
I can't believe how well-done they are!

Read more about POGO a.k.a Nick Bertke below.

Just plain special.

Capturing Alice.

OK so clearly I have been completely consumed by the aesthetic of 
ALICE IN WONDERLAND Lately.  
I recently finished reading the book and am now reading 
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.

I found these collages from polyvore that have been created by other people that have been inspired by the styles of the different characters in the story.

Go Ask Alice.

I feel like I still haven't gotten Alice out of my system yet. 
So be on the look-out for more ;)

i love the rabbit the rabbit loves me.

From 2005 to 2025 it’s possible to catch sight of a huge pink bunny on Piedmontese hill.
It is an installation made by Gelitin, a group of four Viennese artists who began collaborating in 1993.

CHECK OUT THE GOOGLE MAPS VIEW!!!!

"The things one finds wandering in a landscape: familiar things and utterly unknown, like a flower one has never seen before, or, as Columbus discovered, an inexplicable continent;
and then, behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy.
The toilet-paper-pink creature lies on its back: a rabbit-mountain like Gulliver in Lilliput. Happy you feel as you climb up along its ears, almost falling into its cavernous mouth, to the belly-summit and look out over the pink woolen landscape of the rabbitÌs body, a country dropped from the sky;
ears and limbs sneaking into the distance; from its side flowing heart, liver and intestines.
Happily in love you step down the decaying corpse, through the wound, now small like a maggot, over woolen kidney and bowel. 

Happy you leave like the larva that gets its wings from an innocent carcass at the roadside.
Such is the happiness which made this rabbit.


i love the rabbit the rabbit loves me."


After almost 5 years of knitting the rabbit found its final place in the italian alps (close to Cuneo). It waits there to be visited by you. You might even take your time or check back every now and then as the rabbit will wait for you 20 years from now on.

Homage to the Rabbits.



Wade Robson's style is so good 
IT HAUNTS ME.
