Earth made Alphabet




“The Google Earth Alphabet” was captured by Thomas de Bruin, who took the time to look through thousands of satellite images of the Netherlands. Each photo resembles a letter, symbol, and number. It is amazing! I found this on Illusion 360.

Fake Painting Photos?






this is stunning and innovative. Fake Painting Photographs by Alexa Meade She painted people then photographed them so it looks like she painted the entire picture. what a fake out! I stumbled upon this article on bored panda.

Alexa Meade is an installation artist based in the Washington, DC area. Her background in the world of political communications has fueled her intellectual interest in the tensions between perception and reality.

Alexa Meade’s innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships.” (from her BIO) alexameade.com

Refreshing website

I stumbled upon a french artist's site he name is Mathieu Badimon. He is Senior Director at Firstborn. He works out of New York. He is a web designer. I really enjoyed his work and also his presentation through the website! Obviously he should have a great site is he is himself a web designer. His site is colorful, abstract, and very easy to use. The website changes directions everytime you enter it. He has some simple interactive pieces that are cute and work well. Check him out!

Here are some other sites he has designed:

TWELVE ANIMALS by Graflex Directions

Kentaro Nagai, founder of Graflex Directions/graphic design studio, is sharing with Yatzer readers his concept behind one of our favorite projects from his portfolio; The TWELVE ANIMALS.
"I came up with this idea as I was planning for the content of New Year’s greeting cards for 2005. The image of the war in Iraq was still lingering on at the time in 2004. It could only have been because I was so benumbed by a peaceful life in Japan, but I naively believed that there would be no war in the 21st century. Even after the so-called century of wars, not having learnt the lesson from the past, human beings are still burning the flame of wars. The profit-seeking economic system may be a cause of this. I felt that we human beings will never unite as one unless we are in an equally threatening situation such as the one caused by aliens from outer space attacking the earth."
