trafalgar square fourth plinth
The six shortlisted proposals for London's fourth plinth commission are currently on public display as models in St-Martin-in-the-Fields church. There is a gallery showing the designs on The Guardian website.
My favourite is this giant Battenberg cake, proposed by Brian Griffiths. It is made from glazed and unglazed Victorian, Edwardian and contemporary bricks from around the UK.
alex everitt
I can't believe I haven't posted about his work before now but here is a painting called "Absence" by the talented artist Alex Everitt.
Visit his recently updated site here and shop here to see more beautiful work, including a couple of portraits of yours truly...as Alex is also my amazing husband!
bird houses
An excellent series of humourous bird houses were created by artists Luke Bartels and Jeff Canham, as part of their "For the Birds" show at the Curiosity Shoppe.

runaway
Aubrey Longley-Cook is a talented artist working with embroidery in a very clever way. This animated dog is totally inspired, as is the view from the back. More impressive work can be seen on his blog, Spool Spectrum.
fingerings
Judith Braun creates her drawings (called "fingerings") using charcoal-covered fingers. The effects are rather stunning.
Via today and tomorrow.
paint tube
Brian Kerr has a great post on his blog about the London Underground map and imagery associated with it. I'm particularly fond of David Booth's 1986 poster for the Tate, which shows the map drawn with paint squeezed from tubes.
volkswagen sculpture
Artist Lars-Erik Fisk created this VW ball sculpture, fusing pop culture, minimalism, humour and craft. It also remind me of a Poké Ball, although I'm sure this wasn't the artist's intention (but it makes me like it even more).
Via Autobuzz.
matchsticks
These matchsticks by artist Camille Laurelli caught my eye.
the swimming pool
Buenos Aires-based artist Leandro Erlich is interested in supsending reality - in this piece on show at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanzawa, he transforms a swimming pool into a place which can be seen from both above and below the water (which is only 10cm deep and suspended over glass), confusing viewers’ perceptions.
inner city snail
| London-based artist Slinkachu graffitis snails, documented on his Inner City Snail blog. I'd love to come across one of these in everyday life. |
