Street Art and Sequins: Theresa Himmer

I love this beautiful street art by Danish artist Theresa Himmer.  These pieces are from the Mountain Series and made with sequins on buildings in Reykjavik, Iceland.  I would love to see them in person - I'm sure they are amazing in the sunlight.

Love of shapes and colors - Photography by Filippo Minelli

I just discovered and absolutely love and am inspired by these beautiful paint bomb photographs by Italian artist Filippo Minelli.  Kind of a hybrid between urban street art and installation art and photography.  I wish I had the 400 euros to buy a set of his limited edition prints!  They are part of his Silence/Shapes series and you can find more of his amazing work at his website.

Finding things to do with Tape - Part 1

I just ordered my first batch of MT Masking Tape, and I can't stop thinking about things to do with it.
