Thanks to http://www.booooooom.com/, we’ve discovered these really intricate carved skulls by Dimitri Tsykalov, made from miscellaneous fruits and vegetables. Visit his website for more.
I really like what Brooklyn artist Mark Dean Veca is doing with himself. He takes poppy street art characters and combines them with intricate patterns and ornamentation to create some large, pretty raw illustrations that kind of make it feel like you’re residing within someone’s innards.
Beyond that even, though, he has some pretty creative installation works under his belt, and his ability to transform space into an unreal cartoon domain is commendable.
Every couple years or so (literally), the Seattle Art Museum changes out the installation they have on display at the Olympic Sculpture Park. The next installation round, which runs from August 28, 2010 to March 4, 2012 at the Olympic Sculpture Park’s Paccar Pavilion, will feature the colorful works of Trenton Doyle Hancock. It’s unsure what the installation will look like as of now, but here are some sample of the artist’s work for you to get a feel.
If you’re wondering what the current / last installation by Geoff McFetridge looked like, click here.
Anyway, head on over on the eve of August 27th, and enjoy the following:

These symmetrical flurries are only one portion of artist Tatiana Plakhova’s art portfolio, but they are certainly amongst the most immediately gratifying. Something about these jellyfish-like whirling ornaments just seem comforting.

I can’t seem to find too much information about Sergey Ryzhov (so any you might be able to give would be appreciated), but for starters, here are two lovely mystical animal images, which you can purchase prints of here at iNPRNT.

The online indie shop Insound have put together a series of poster and t-shirt designs for a bunch of bands that are the who’s who of indie rock right now. Here are some of the posters from that series — the best ones, actually. Some bands got slightly unexciting creations (notably, Liars), but others really got some star poster/t-shirt treatment.
Statement from Insound themselves:
“The series was created by Chicago based design studio Sonnenzimmer, featuring ten of our favorite bands that made noise in 2010: Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Girls, Liars, Neon Indian, The Mountain Goats, Owen Pallett, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Titus Andronicus, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. The series consists of 10 t-shirts and 10 limited edition silkscreened posters done in Sonnenzimmer’s abstract design style; and interestingly enough the entire series of posters was designed to fit together into one larger image that was the basis for the team’s design.”
Check out the larger finished work at the end of this post.
