Liva Rutmane describes herself as having an affinity for the strange. And looking through her work, I can’t disagree. But hidden among her illustrations, paintings, and photographs is a series called “Almost Sunset,” which features subjects interacting with butchered pigs. The fellow painting the pig’s toenails might be my favorite. I’ve included the entire set below. You can purchase her work over at Etsy.
UK artist James Reynolds created this series of photographs chronicling the last suppers of death row inmates. Kind of reminds me of Anthony Bourdain’s anecdote about the game chefs play. I’m still not sure what my answer would be. Anyway, see more last meals here.
Over the course of 24 hours, Sean Martindale threaded 21,633 feet of nylon between two parallel chain link fences in Toronto’s Grange Park. This is the result. Read more here. See Sean’s personal photos from the project here.
From Buenos Aires comes this faux vintage endorsement featuring everyone’s favorite misanthrope. Apparently, this comes fromĀ Scuzzo‘s new blog, after a rather public falling out with deviantART. See more from Scuzzo after the jump.
It’s made up of PVC, water, pigment, glass, and a Volkswagen Sedan. I can definitely identify one of those in the picture. Not sure about the rest. See more from Ivan Puig here. More photos after the jump.
Chances are very good that Olaf Breuning is completely bat shit crazy. But it totally works to his advantage. His portfolio is so trippy. I’ve included some of my favorites here, with more after the jump. See the rest of his work at his website. He’s also got an exhibit going on right now at the Metro Gallery in NYC.
You know that feeling you get when you learn back in your chair just a little too far and stop right before you fall off? That’s the feeling I get when I see Kerry Skarbakka’s pictures. And true, while the pieces are just very carefully choreographed stunts, they’re still very cool. Check out his portfolio here. He’s also got an exhibition coming up at the Irvine Contemporary in Washington D.C. on the 19th, so if you’re down there…you know, like, go. More photos after the jump.
