Keira Rathbone Typewriter Art

London based artist, Keira Rathbone, captures amazing detail using old, manual typewriters.  Keira has quite a collection of typewriters that she uses to capture architecture, nature, still life, and faces using a wide variety of letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation.

I think it’s so cool to see artists using and repurposing old items as their medium that we’ve thought to be practically extinct in such a creative and unique way.

Happy Fall!

Being that the artist’s canvas selection is typically a carefully selected leaf, I figured Spanish artist, Lorenzo Duran, was the perfect artist pick for the first day of fall.

Waste Landscape by Elise Morin and Clémence Eliard

Waste Landscape, an installation by French artist Elise Morin and architect Clémence Eliard, is composed of 65,000 discarded CDs. The artist envisioned Waste Landscape to be like “a still sea of metallic dunes.” The CDs were hand-sewn together into an amazing 500-square meter surface and then draped over inflatable mounds.  This is a traveling exhibition, but currently is featured at the Halle d’Aubervilliers of Paris’ Le Centquatre Art Space until September 10th, 2011.

State-Shaped Cutting Boards

Ohio Cutting Board by A.Heirloom

I am originally from Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University, so I can’t help but be prideful of my home state.  So, naturally I want this super cool cutting board from Brooklyn based artists, Amy & Bill Stringer-Mowat at A.Heirloom.  Of course, they also offer many other neat state and country cutting boards for all of you non-Ohioans.
