Looking around for ambitious Christmassy gingerbread houses this stunning sugar-and-spice version of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater pinged onto my radar. It’s not a project for the lazy – Melodie and Brenton Dearden spent… Continue reading →
This is so astonishingly wonderful. I wish I could make it loop on YouTube because I would happily watch it for hours. You can also download the high resolution images and the animation… Continue reading →

Tate Britain’s Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde exhibition piqued my curiosity enough that I willingly spent two hours in its crowded rooms, being gradually nudged around the exhibits by a tide of people. I remember… Continue reading →
Keita Onishi’s animated video for Dynamics of the Subway by Haisuinonasa is a rather lovely exercise in audiovisual synaesthesia. The piece was created exclusively using Cinema 4D and, according to Onishi: “Each note from… Continue reading →
Thanks to NASA’s successful (and utterly awesome – in the traditional sense of the word) landing of the Mars Curiosity rover, pictures of Mars have been high on my agenda this week. Irritatingly… Continue reading →
I am: yet what I am none cares or knows, My friends forsake me like a memory lost; I am the self-consumer of my woes, They rise and vanish in oblivious host, Like… Continue reading →
I swear I could run an art blog solely based around ways artists rework and reinterpret Van Gogh’s Starry Night! The latest creation I’ve seen is FlippyCat‘s domino rendition which took two attempts,… Continue reading →

As a child, my absolute favourite thing about my grandparents’ dollhouse was the tiny tiny doll food. I could care less about the miniature furniture and the dolls themselves, but the tiny plates… Continue reading →
I’ve always had mixed feeling about Damien Hirst. Sometimes his work is provocative, interesting or beautiful. At other times I think he, more than anyone else, is flying the (invisible flag) for the… Continue reading →
London Vistas – an Instagram project
I gravitate towards these kinds of symmetrical (or as near to symmetrical as I can get freehand) views as I pass through the city. I started collecting them alongside and sometimes as part… Continue reading →
A portrait of Kate Middleton (the artist formerly known as)
The first official painting of the Duchess of Cambridge was unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery (of which Duchess Kate is a patron) on Friday and, quite frankly, it feels sarcastic. My own experience… Continue reading →
