Inspirational Artists :: Engaged to a Prince
At the Stephen Friedman Gallery in London, artist Jennifer Rubell has created quite the commotion with her latest installation. Inside you'll find a wax sculpture of Prince William standing in the pose he struck at his engagement announcement...wait for it...it gets even better.....on his sleeve lies a replica of the engagement ring he gave Kate Middleton. So, when you visit the gallery, you can step onto the pedestal, slide your arm through William's, and slip on the ring. Le sigh...

Inspirational Artists :: Running the Numbers
I'm back! We had a fabulous time in California and can't wait to share some highlights from our trip. In the meantime, enjoy this Inspirational Artist post.
Chris Jordan is an artist based in Seattle, Washington who is best known for his explorations of mass consumption and waste. Cans Seurat is comprised of 106,000 aluminum cans in the form of George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte :: 106,000 being the number of cans used in the US every thirty seconds.

Inspirational Artists :: Bounce
Since we're leaving in two days for California, I thought this post would be a fun one.
As hundreds of thousands of colorful bouncy balls were released down San Francisco's hilly streets, Danish photographer Peter Funch was there to capture it all on film. Aren't his photos great? I think the perspective in a few of these is particularly awesome!

Inspirational Artists :: Altered Books
American contemporary artist Brian Dettmer alters pre-existing books. By making precise cuts, he exposes select images and text that reveal alternative interpretations of the book.
The kicker :: Dettmer never inserts or moves any of the books' contents...only removes. Isn't his precision insane?!
