Lori Nix is a Brooklyn based photographer who shoots big epic scenes of destruction and grandeur in tiny model diorama format. I love the pure amount of effort and work that has gone into building these little scenes just to get that one shot, wonder what she does with the models afterwards?
There’s an interview with her on Cool Hunting, where she explains her craft, also she has a book, Small Dangers.

After I did the Roome Consulting website for my friend Eleanor, she asked me to make her some paintings to decorate the walls of her new office. I was given pretty much free rein so it was a fun project. Luckily I had Nicky to help me paint them, partly because they were big (1m x 1m), but also because painting doesn’t really come naturally to me. For someone more used to colouring in on a computer, using a paint brush can sometimes be a bit of a long winded chore… But they do look infinitely better on a wall than a printout!
Found this beauty by Matt O’Connell while browsing my pipe of randomness tagged with Cookie. You should check out some of his other stuff, it’s deranged genius! Also thanks to Greg for the code I’m using to stick the large first capitals at the begining of the post :)
The shortlist for the next work to go on the Fourth Plinth has been announced. I hope Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle by Yinka Shonibare wins, I think it would look amazing.
This really made my day (cheers for the link Asi), Really Bent is the more graphic, black sheep cousin of Bent Objects. Both are brilliant, well made, well shot and well funny.
This is genius:
This might be old news, but just noticed that Kinsey’s got a new site with loads of fresh works.
