Hilarious photo manipulations combining birds with dogs and somehow, they work.

A selection of surreal digital illustrations from his series A Separate Reality.
It sounds paradoxical but digital art attracts me because it is free of technological influence. While in traditional arts technologies dramatically limit the artist—his ability to stylize works in graphics or extremely time consuming process of paint drying—in digital painting I sit in front of a screen, grab the stylus and see the result immediately.

Jay Z vs Marina Abramovic
Cercado por uma plateia de artistas, conhecidos e desconhecidos, Jay Z transformou a gravação do clipe de “Picasso Baby” em uma performance de arte. Como em outras obras de Marina Abramovic, o rapper interagiu diretamente com o público, provocando uma reação talvez ainda maior nele do que na plateia.

Tierra Patagonia Hotel by Cazu Zegers Arquitectura
Tierra Patagonia Hotel by Cazu Zegers Arquitectura

A hotel located on the shore of Lake Sarmiento, Chile with views of the mountains of Torres del Paine National Park. The structure is meant to evoke the timeless shapes of sand dunes and driftwood.
The form seeks to merge with the metaphysical landscape, not to interrupt it. The shape of the hotel is reminiscent of an old fossil, a prehistoric animal beached on the shore of the lake, not unlike those found and studied by Charles Darwin. The building is as though born out of the land, like a fold in the terrain that the wind has carved in the sand. It is anchored to the ground with stone slopes and is completely covered in washed Lenga wood paneling. This finish gives the hotel a silvery sheen, typical of old wooden houses worn away by winter. The spatial solution aims for warm and cozy spaces structured by internal pathways, allowing the building to inhabit its extension.

Amazing foodscapes that are photographed in layers from foreground to background then each element is put together in post production to achieve the final image.
Although I’m very hands on with my work, I do use model makers and food stylists to help me create the sets. I tend to start with a drawing which I sketch out in order to get the composition worked out, this acts as a blue print for the team to work to. I tend to draw a very conventional landscape using classic compositional techniques as I need to fool the viewer into thinking it is a real scene at first glance, it is the realisation that the scene is in fact made of food that brings a smile to the viewer, and for me that’s the best part.See also his Bodyscapes series.

This picture is in time with the average heart rate. What you’re hearing is the sound of your blood pumping, which you aren’t normally aware of. This picture tricks your mind into making yourself aware of your heart rate, so you hear it.
what the fuck have you done
My heart rate is almost twice this. It’s also irregular. Soooo
Oops, I don’t have a heart.

An alternative portrait of a human being whose body becomes a landscape of themselves and plays on the sense of space in which we dwell. The external view of ourselves therefore becomes a more abstract and perhaps more intimate reflection of our inner being when viewed as a landscape or given a sense of place.

Fantastic 3D digital illustrations combining machinery and flesh. Reminds me of the Borg characters in Star Trek.

"It’s no good trying to get rid of your own aloneness....
"It’s no good trying to get rid of your own aloneness. You’ve got to stick to it all your life. Only at times, at times, the gap will be filled in. At times! But you have to wait for the times. Accept your own aloneness and stick to it, all your life. And then accept the times when the gap is filled in, when they come. But they’ve got to come. You can’t force them."
—D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover

"Shopping is a form of daydreaming, a way to recast your life instantly, a desperate optimism about the meaning of style and detail. Such a fleeting feeling, but impossible to resist. She knew she was the kind of woman who couldn’t walk past a post office without wanting to buy stamps."
