When spilling coffee, most people clean it up right away with an occasional curse word. Stefan Kuhnigk, an artist from Germany, prefers to let it dry for a few hours, so he can create some little illustrated monsters with the spills. Now he even creates the coffee spills on purpose and selects the best to […]

When in design school, I remember one teacher explaining us that trying to imitate the style of famous designers or artists as an exercise was one of the best ways to progress. In fact, when doint this, you have to try to put yourself in the person’s shoes and learn how to thing like that […]

When I was a kid, we would travel to Serbia every summer to meet with the family there. One of the highlights for me was to see my great-aunts who would check out the bottom of my mother’s coffee cup and predict the future. I suspect Giulia Bernardelli, who shares amazing art made with spilled […]

Turkish artist Hasan Kale, previously featured on Designer Daily for his tiny paintings of Istanbul, is back with even more amazing and smaller artworks. At a size of a fingernail, or even smaller, the artist re-creates some famous paintings or creates his own. Kale would probably have been an excellent surgeous, when you see the […]

Korean artist Beomsik Won likes to play with architecture. He likes to imagine impossible building structures in what he calls Archisculpture. Thanks to digital manipulations, architectural structures get to enter in a new dimension and mess with our minds.

Susanna Bauer creates unbelievable sculptures using old leaves. With crocheting techniques, she creates compositions in 2D or 3D. The new shapes given to the leaves combined with the fragile and natural textures make it look just perfect. If you’ve ever try to fold an old leaf or just try to do anything with it, you […]

We already featured Guy Laramée on Designer Daily, and we could probably feature him every day. The artist recently published a new gorgeous series of carved books on the theme of birds and their natural habitat. The big books were carved into sculptures that look like the natural habitat of birds, with nice paintings of […]

There has been some talk recently about whether the golden ratio was really relevant or not. In April, Fast co.design published a popular article that claimed that the golden ratio was one of the top design myths. I honestly have no clear idea about the golden ratio, but I think it can be a good […]

On his website, Bertrand Flachot labels himself a drawer and a photographer. Unlike most of the people who practice these two crafts, the French artist combines the two in impressive artworks that often confuse the viewers. Based in Paris, Flachot likes to work in large formats with photos, installations, or line-based drawings.

Lucie Boucher and Bernie Huebner are the co-founders of Stone Ridge Glass, a company specialized in glass art. They do commission work, but their most famous product are by far the glasscapes, some cool landscapes made of layers of glass that can be moved to change the view. Technically, the artists work by hand to cut the […]

Kay Sekimachi, a Japanese American artist, made some impressive bowls using tree leaves. She used Japanese paper, Krylon coating, and watercolor, to reinforce a structure based on the skeleton of leaves. Her bowls will be on display at the Bellevue Arts Museum starting in July 2015, along with Bob Stocksdale’s work. The two artists were […]

Annabel de Vetten’s cake certainly don’t look like the kind of dessert you’d like for a wedding or any kind of festive event, yet they are probably the most beautiful I’ve even seen. Too creepy for most, the cakes look incredibly realistic and always somewhat related to death and misery. At the Conjurer’s Kitchen, de […]

I’m a big fan of paper cutting art, and I tend to have a soft spot for collage art when it’s done right. You can imagine how happy to discover art that combines both techniques in complex artworks. To discover more pieces like the ones featured here, just head to Myriam Dion’s portfolio site and […]

Some say that the medium is the message. I don’t know if it’s entirely true, but this street art made with tape surely shows that the way the message is conveyed is very strongly influenced by the medium. An Australian street artist who goes by the name Buff uses tape to avoid any problem with […]

There are many artists who work with old books and do amazing things with it. Some cut them, other draw in the books, and there are many other ways to create art from book. So far I haven’t seen anything like Jacqueline Rush Lee’s art. She takes old books and turn them into amazing sculptures, […]
