Stanley Kubrick’s Photos of 1940s New York - mashKULTURE

[irezumi]

Rad. Good find.

Grayson Perry.

Yeah, it's a huge pic, but its the best way to see the whole quilt, and in its true color.

*hm. apparently LST won't let me post it at actual photo size.

click here to view it at a size to appreciate it

This is one of the greatest things I've seen. For real. There are very few truly great textile artists, especially quilters doing work like this.

[Ursula]

@irezumi here's a great photo showing the scale of that tapestry, it's ridiculous. Plus the dude who made it is a bona-fide weirdo and that makes me like it even more. Knowing how something like that is made, it really blows my mind the scale of it.

Someone needs this as a tattoo

That might have to go on my shine tomorrow.

[irezumi]

Yeah Ursula, It blew my mind too. When I saw the pics from the gallery i was wowed by the size of it. I really really wish I could see it in person.

His other stuff is cool too, but I am much more into his quilts & drawings than I am into his ceramics.

[Ursula]

I thought some of his pottery was pretty rad. I still prefer the ceramics that Ed Hardy has been doing. All white with blue paint. Japanese style.

And yeah, if I ever go to the UK I'm def gonna try and make a stop at the museum where this will (hopefully still) be hanging.

Illustrator Dave DeVries started with a simple question: What would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically?

Got my girlfriend a Stephen Wiltshire print for Christmas.

He's an unsual guy. An an autistic child growing up, he didn't speak, but used art materials to communicate. Over time it became clear he was both a talented artist and someone who had an unusually good visual memory.

He's best know for drawing street scenes and city panoramas from memory, using fine-line black pens.

The Stephen Wiltshire Gallery - Drawings, paintings and prints

Bought her a print of the Toronto skyline (it's a city we visit together a lot). What I really want, though, is one of the big panoramas ... Tokyo, ideally.

[irezumi]

I haven't seen that particular video before; just as amazing as the others I've seen of his stuff. Your GF is really lucky to have one of those.

[irezumi]

this is a fascinating documentary that i highly suggest watching. it blew my socks off. all the stills in the trailer are photos he takes of his 'world', and are just as amazing as the stuff he's making.

watch this

from a friend:

"Buddy of mine owns a flight charter company in AK. He just flew a photographer, Norio Matsumoto, up onto the glacier at Mt. McKinley for the 13th year in a row. This guy builds a snow cave on the glacier and lives there for 7 weeks taking pics, with his main goal being taking the perfect pic of the Northern Lights and Mt. McKinley. "
