Ceramic art by Debra Fleury

“While growing up near the ocean, I spent many hours peering at tiny creatures and looking for clues to their secret lives. This began a lifelong passion for the the minute details, the battered fragments, and the myriad patterns of organic life… Clay is critical to exploring these ideas. Touching clay and responding to its organic properties are key aspects of my largely exploratory and intuitive creative process. Risk taking and pushing materials to their limits is also important. I experiment with the forces used to shape clay, glaze, and glass as a process for imagining and exploring the effects of natural forces. I combine clays with glass or other materials to see what they reveal about their individual properties when they are fused together.”

austinkleon: Friends! I have a new 20x200 print. Get it here→ jenbekmanprojects: Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon | Buy the limited-edition art on 20x200.com here. In the newsletter, Charlie writes: Today’s edition, and the book it came from, all originated from a list of 10 principles Austin wished someone had shared with him when he was first starting out. Eager to share his list with everyone (as he is with all his work, including “deleted scenes” and his sketchbook), he turned his pointers from a talk to college students into a blog post (which quickly went viral), and eventually into a book. It wasn’t long before Steal Like an Artist became his second New York Times bestseller.

AS SIMPLE AS BRILLIANT: WIRE SCULPTURES by POLLY VERITY

Simple things of everyday life is the raw material: Wire and Tissues. Magically.

Artist Mike Stilkey paints images of humans and animals on book spines. His online gallery has pictures of his stunning 33 book sculpture projects. I particularly enjoy Travel Guide to Russia, but that could just be my fondness for owls in top hats.
