Art - Post-it monsters (John Kenn,)

I don't know much about him, so I'll cut paste from his blog in which he keeps his post-it monsters:


"Born in Denmark 1978. I write and direct television shows for kids. I have a set of twins and not much time for anything. But when i have time i draw monsterdrawings on post-it notes... it is a little window into a different world, made on office supplies."

Some of his color work can be found on his myspace.

Below a selection of thumbnails of his post-it monsters. There are many more on his blog and he has larger clearer versions than these, too! So if you like what you see, you should pay his blog a visit! : j

I love how narrative these are. They remind me of Chas Adams' work in that respect.

Each one immediately evokes a tree of narrative developments...

Photos - Erik Johansson Photographer and retouch artist

Do you know Erk Johansson (if not check out his website)? This Swedish artist and photographer is 25, touts a Canon EOS 5d mark II, and doesn't use 3D software, just Photoshop CS5.
I dig his stuff, and not just because some of it is clearly inspired from Escher, Magritte, and other surrealists ; j.
Look for yourselves (more on his website of course)!

This guy has some pretty surreal art photography, each piece with its own meaning laden annotation...

Some of these are quite intriguing... See for yourself:

 
Discarded (Trees on the Left 2002)
I spoke to the tree on the left who told me to speak to the tree on the right. The tree on the right told me I should not be speaking to any tree from the left. Why not? "Look in those bushes!" replied the tree on the right, that's what happens when you speak to the trees from the left.
