A special present

On Tuesday I received an unexpected gift from artist Steve Mcpherson. I've blogged about him before and created a memory book which was inspired by his cartographic pieces. I love his work and after conversing a few times about my current project I received a signed, limited edition copy of his book sent to my college. It was such a nice gesture and one that many people probably wouldn't even consider doing.

Steve is currently doing a global depository project for images of found marine plastic washed up on beaches and embankments. If you have anything to contribute visit the website to get your photographs involved: http://www.marineplastic.org/

Birds, boats and bees

Doesn't relate to the project i'm doing but I really like these illustrations by Lizzie Janssen

Brandi Strickland

I've been looking at the work of Brandi Strickland; specifically her set "Introduction to space" which involves simplistic collages of found scrap paper and imagery. For more click on the link.

"Prodding Times Arrow"

"Going Further East" 2006

"Prodding times Arrow"

Came across these Journals By Gerard Lange. Its worth viewing them on a larger scale because there is so much detail to each page.

I wish I could work like this.

Yyellowbird

I've been set my final project and think i'm going to theme it on the Disused and Unwanted. Just been doing some initial research and came across these photos by Cari Ann Wayman or Yyellowbird as she goes by on flickr. For more click here

His blog is really fun and full of character. Take a look.
