Magical Monday! Art in the Office, on the Street and in Your Coffee!

Hello Hello! 

Welcome to Magical Monday! 

Today is a bit misty and damp here, yet still warm (for Spring)! 

I hope wherever you are is filled with warmth as well!! 

I have bits of art in all sorts of places to show you today, so let's get started! 

Art on the Street...

Credits and details regarding this are here! Van Gogh's Starry Night is one of my favorite paintings and this is an excellent, practical replication of it! 

It gives me great joy to think that this vehicle brings beauty and colour everywhere it travels! 

YAY! 

Onward to the Art in the Office! 

Details and credits are here! I absolutely adore everything about this castle! I love the flowers, the portcullis, the draw-bridge, the turrets, all of it! I am vastly amused that this is actually someone's office and wish that more offices could be this much fun! 

YAY! 

Let's wrap this up with Art in Your Coffee! 

Click here for the Video! 

I find so much of this interesting...from using coffee as an artistic medium to the artist's creative cycles and journey to the impermanence (and yummy-ness!) of the art itself! 

Whee!!! 

Now I desire a cuppa! 

Have a marvelous day! 

See you on Whimsy Wednesday! 

Ciao!

Magical Monday! Art and Fantasy into Real Life!

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Magical Monday!
I hope your weekend was filled with warmth and joy!
I've some really nifty bits of Art that have been transformed from fantasy into real life to show and tell today! If that isn't Magical, I don't know what is!
Let's start with the more "Artsy" bit of Magic...
The idea of the Booooooom + Adobe Remake photo project is to remake a famous work of art using photography.
More details, photos and credits are here!
I, personally, liked the photo remake of this painting by Van Gogh's, titled Bedroom in Arles.  It is about half-way down the page of submissions, which means you should have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the wonderful level of creativity and talent on display!

The second bit of magic I have to show you is Fantasy literally made into reality! 
A giant Gollum (from Lord of the Rings books & movies) installation at a New Zealand airport!  Details and credits are found here! W
hat an incredible amount of work, time and talent went into all of that! I wonder what J.R.R. Tolkien would think of it? I bet he would be astonished, astounded and amazed!

And our last bit of magic for today is a light-hearted video that was made in response to the recent selling of all things StarWars to Disney.  Click here to view the YouTube video!
My heart goes out to that poor StormTrooper who can't get a drink! All in all, I have to say that this is a brilliant thing! 
Let's wrap up this post up with a little note of a show I'll be at this weekend!
