Gwon Osang

Interesting, Gwon Osang uses photographs to sculpt people, ignoring the need to keep normal perspective.

Jon Klassen

Hell, I'm pretty much duping the Mefi post, but I really dig some of Jon Klassen's works, particularly the detailed texturing he does.

Here's his official site, Burst of Beaden. You can buy some of his works at Gallery Nucleus, which I might do once I get more settled.

Singles by Rebecca Sugar

Love this. I really like the interesting concept, the visual complexity involved in the perspectives and I really like the portrayal of the emotions involved in the guy's gathering up his courage to explore.

Blog title images variations

Just about the only creative outlet I have these days is the image atop my blogs and I thought I'd post a few variations I considered but ended up nixing in favor of the ones there now.

Here's the image I ended up deciding for my food enthusiast section:

But here are a couple of others I considered putting up there as well. The first one, I just didn't like my background picture as much, especially with all of the fruit stickers.

And the second, well, I still get a kick out of it, so perhaps I may end putting it up at some time in the future.

Here's also the image I selected for my travel section:

And here are a couple of other variations I considered as well:

As you can probably tell, I really like that synthesized 3d look of the text and other objects right now.

Chinese Culture Center

Stumbled upon Chinese Culture Center's Website and will have to look around some more later, partially to practice my Chinese and partially as a first step to get more plugged into the Chinese art scene.

Scanwiches

Scanwiches is a photo blog of sandwiches put on a scanner. Under the bluish light, the sandwiches look like some modern photo portraits I've seen.

I think what makes these photos arresting is the subversion of the normal warmth associated with food, especially pushed through so much food porn on the web these days.

This reminds me of the recent attention for Kathryn Parker Alamanas' Pastries Dissected photography series, which blurs this line much much more (into the nearly queasy area)
