WEBSITE: Whiteboard Unicorns

File this website under "bizarre" and "happy place" The writer of Whiteboard Unicorns has essentially created a series of temporary art pieces, centered around unicorns (and sometimes a blue bucket), and all using a whiteboard as the medium. Like one-panel comics, each one has its own unique haphazzard quality remeniscent of something your stoner neighbor in dorms might have etched onto your own message board for you to find the next morning.

WEBSITE: Shadow Art

Art blog Beautiful/Decay has an interesting post about the newest in shadow art. Forget the hand puppets you made on the overhead project in elementary school when your teacher wasn't looking, these will blow your mind! According to the website, "the main artists featured here are Kumi Yamashita plus the art team [of] Tim Noble and Sue Webster." (Pictured below is a piece by the later.)

YOUTUBE: Joshua Allen Harris Street Art

See that trash laying in a crinkled heap by the curb? Quick! Look again! It's a giant monster come to life! Joshua Allen Harris is one of the creative young artists creating and embracing the spirit of what art is all about - making a person stop and think.

Harris's art is very public and uses nothing more than tape and several plastic garbage or grocery bags. Borrowing from air vents meant to circulate New York City's subway system, his creation lay in pile idly over a vent like nothing more than a piece of discarded refuse only to spring up, filling with air, to become a polar bear, loch ness monster, or giraffe!

Before you have time to grab you camera to snap a quick photograph, it tumbles like an autumn leaf back to the pavement, waiting for the next subway gust to bring it to life.

WEB: Dispatchwork

Installations are my favorite type of art. Mix that with my favorite nostalgic toy and ZONINO!, the perfect storm of artistic greatness.

This site, Dispatchwork, features the work of Lego (registered trade mark blah, blah, blah) artist Jan Vormann. Lego installations have been completed in locations such as Tel Aviv, Berlin, Amsterdam, and many other far-flung places. I really love how the work appeals to different generations; bringing young minds close to art and taking old minds back to their younger days. Also, the installations are completed in building sides that are hundreds of years old, thus creating an interesting juxtaposition.

BONUS: If you check out Jan's work you'll also see a page where international art events can be found!
