Skull A Day

http://skulladay.blogspot.com/ Dedicated to creat an impage of a skull every day. Regardless of the fact whether you like or dislike the skull motive, you've got to admire the creativity that's been used to create them.

Isn't this just the cutest art ever?? :)

Gino Boccasile



Gino Boccasile, born in Italy in 1901, created many works during the 1930s as advertising for products and travel destinations. As the 1930's came to an end, Boccasile went to work for the fascists creating some of the most startling images of propaganda which are highly sought after today.
After the war, Boccasile set up his own agency.His advertisings are often cheeky, and always beautiful and smooth. This is classic advertising art, and very Italian too :)

Peter Callesen - paper art


These artworks are all made of paper, mostly out of one single piece of A4 paper. They are delicate, but really beautiful. I really like this, it shows skill and has a great poetic power. Anyone can cut a piece of paper, but just try to copy one of these. It requires patience, practice, 3d vision and a really sharp knife :)


Kino Sekigushi


Great artwork from a Paris based Japanese guy. Very polished and smooth, but strong and beautiful colours.


I used to have one of his pictures (St Sebastian, see below) on the inside of the door of my roon in London, enlarged to fit the size of the door. Shame I don't have a pic of that, looked great.

All my favourites - from 16th century Flanders to 21st century New York, from the museums of Paris to the streets of Hong Kong: all on one shelf.
