If You’ve Not Yet Acquired My Gift
The Dogs In The Forest, copyright Karen Barbour
This print is available at Little Paper Planes, and it would make me better every time I would look at it. Hint. It would be a nice change from looking at her wonderful wonderful work on my computer screen. Though I’d still have to loiter there too, because it is LOADED with beauty. See:

The Light Fantastic
LAPP.PRO.DE / BARCROFT MEDIA
Light artists Jan Wollert and Jorg Miedza are currently featured in the Telegraph’s Culture Picture Galleries.

More detail than that, and they’d have to kill you, citing the secrecy of magic as they clamp their yaps shut.

Jen Grant collects garbage, and with it, sculpts political commentary in public spaces. The projects are pleasing, sometimes by virtue of their materials (a hammock made of jewelry!), sometimes by virtue of their inventiveness (chairs turned into steps up and over a fence), and sometimes by virtue of their environment (a swing hanging from the Botanic Gardens bridge), but always by virtue of their politics, expressing notions about freedom, waste and capitalism.

Grammatical Law of Towers
“When I was in middle school, my English teacher emphasized the fact that ‘the Eiffel Tower’ must be capitalized and accompanied with a definite article, the, in English grammar.”
Han Sungpil presents an interesting project of diptychs over at Lens Culture, built upon some sophisticated thinking about originality.
Have Always, Will Always Love This
Thanks Booooooom!, for faithfully bringing the beauty.
