It's rainin' fish! These colorful raindrop photos by Brian Valentine are really fun. His flower raindrops are especially beautiful. Brian is an early retired PhD Microbiologist living in Worthing South Coast UK. Doesn't he make you want to look at raindrops a little more carefully next time?…

Sometimes the journey is just as exciting as the destination. There's nothing like the exhilaration of uncovering uncharted territory. I can't tell if the artist used oil, paint, or enhanced photography, but I like these images nonetheless.…

Little Friend - Plock & Tunstall
There's something really fun, happy, and abstract about the work of Ferris Plock and Kerry Tunstall. I think I like it because it reminds me of the doodles I would make when I was back in school. If you happen to Denver, their show "Reconstruction" is currently open to the public at the Limited Addiction Gallery.…

I like the fun and interesting characters in

Performers are equipped with specially developed lights which are picked up by camera sensors. Light art performance photography (LAPP) is evolving quickly and has become a new form of art. Here are some of the…

I appreciate artists that think out of the box and use mediums nobody else would ever think of. Italian artist Maurizio Savini makes these amazing sculptures with pink chewing gum and fibreglass. According to Savini, "The synthetic fleshliness of the pink color, the obsessive square shape of the product unwrapped and ready to be shred to pieces by the power of…
