Nick Georgiou’s paper sculptures and portraits are intricate and expressive. He explains his motivation as such:
My art is inspired by the death of the printed word. Books and newspapers are becoming artifacts of the 21st century. As a society we’re shifting away from print consumption and heading straight towards full digital lives. My sculptures are products of their environment —both literally and figuratively. As often as I can, I use local newspapers to add authenticity, and the form the sculpture takes is a reflection of the personal connection I feel to that particular city.

In Ted Sabarese new photo series Evolution, he explores the connection between us and our ancient ancestors, the fish…
With all the recent, fiery controversy between evolution, creationism, intelligent design, science, religion, the political left, right, etc., I thought it might be provocative to throw my visual two-cents into the ring. The images beg the question, is it really so difficult to believe we came out from the sea millions and millions of years ago?

I got an email a few weeks back from my friends over at Mid-City Arts in Los Angeles and I have been wanting to post this…

ADR Studios brings us these hyper-realistic renderings of the way designer Antonio DeRosa imagines that Apple could further foray into the field of digital photography. The concept sports a modular design, in which the iPhone (based on the anticipated specs of the iPhone 5) docks in the rear of the camera unit and controls the camera.

The infamous London Police recently opened a solo exhibit at NYC’s Opera Gallery, called “Who Cares Wins.” Opening night featured an original music performance by the duo.
The London Police started when big English geezers headed to Amsterdam in 1998 to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of the drug capital of the world.
The motive was to combine traveling and making art to create an amazing way of life not seen since the days of King Soloman. Known for their iconic LADS characters and precision marking TLP have been together for over 13 years and their work has graced streets and galleries in 35 countries during this time. London policemen have come and gone but founding members are still known to walk the streets of every city in the world spreading love with pens and stickers.
The current duo have managed to form a partnership more cohesive than Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars and are consistently producing slick artwork that is tighter than a butlers cuff. Never be scared, don’t be a hero and let the good times roll.

Is it possible that Banksy has been busy in London? We have our doubts. In addition to the fact that the piece has not officially been claimed by Banksy, the softer shading below woman’s body would certainly be a different direction than his his usual style. We know that Blek le Rat has been busy in the streets again these days. Possibly the work of Blek? Another look after the jump.

 I was wondering how I could add to my vintage camera collection the other day and these are perfect. Such a cool concept to repurpose these old camera.
Jason Hull is repurposing (not pristine) vintage cameras from the 1950s and 1960s by turning them into swell nightlights. Hull, a long-time employee at Pixar, created them to sell at the company’s craft fair in December but says he’ll “put any unsold nightlights up on etsy” afterwards. via: Laughing Squid
I am going to be stalking his flickr page for updates until they go up on etsy…

I am sucker for old fixtures, and these are the real deal.
I don’t use this word often, but there is some seriously wonderful stuff over at Portland-based Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co., which just launched their new website earlier this month. The company made their name when founder Brian Faherty uncovered a cache of forgotten cast-iron molds for glass shades in a warehouse and realized they were for making old-school–literally “old school” hanging lamps that many an American public student will recognize (above, center). They were at their most popular in the first half of the 20th Century, but the NYC public school I attended in the ’70s had them. Faherty restored the molds and started making them again.
