Perez on Medicine
an online exhibition of satirical art related to the practice of modern medicine by Jose Perez.
“These oil-on-canvas paintings and drawings represent one of the most signficant collections of great satirical art ever to deal with the world of medicine. Perez’ tongue-in-cheek work, in the old masters’ style, caricatures each of today’s medical specialties through delightful metaphors using humans and animals from different periods of history in a wonderfully whimsical way.”
Wow these are amazing, must of taken him years to do the whole set. Lots of rough pencil studies too.
Wurstminster Dog Show
The wurst gallery, have a nice exhibition of dog paintings at the moment.
“artists were invited to reserve a dog breed on a first come, first served basis. the only requirement was that the artist attempt to capture the look and spirit of their chosen breed in their own unique way.”
There’s been much talk of getting a dog at Unit 2, my favourite breed is the Polish Lowland Sheepdog.
I also liked their previous exhibition Vintage Vandals.
“Each artist was asked to find a framed piece of artwork at their local thrift store and manipulate it into a piece of their own. select an artist below to see the results.”
Simple games
I like this stick remover game, really simple but really playable. Egg Way is a bit like Line Rider, but instead of sledging you’re trying to get an egg into a frying pan?!?! Sand Sand Sand is an amazing simple toy that lets you play with some of the basic element like earth, fire and water to see how they interact based on real world physics. Double wires is a bit like being spiderman…. You could spend plenty of lunch times at Dofi Blog.
Big Cardboard Type
I Like big cardboard type.
Lace Fence
“Each LaceFence is unique in its design, craft and assembled patterns.
The patterns are available in various designs, depending on the clients wishes”.
Turning cheap, functional, ugly industrial fences into decorative, beautifully crafted products – I’m all for it. Well done the boys and girls over at Demakersvan.
