fruit art

Continuing on the topic of weird and different art, this weeks focus will be on Fruit Art.

These are some of the better sculptures i found on Google Images.

It is just amazing how plain old watermelons can be made to look this good.

The craft itself must take hours of precise work.

Here is a good YouTube video for your enjoyment:

Now, for a more practical use of fruit art: square watermelons.

For years in Japan the people had a problem: watermelons tasted good but were to large to fit in refrigerators, and rolled around in markets and shops. the people lived with it, until a bright Japanese farmer came up with the square watermelon idea.

They are grown in plastic boxes like this one:

The watermelons are placed inside when they are tiny then grow to fill out the box.

I think this is a clever useful use of fruit art and more ideas like it should be thought of!

street art

Here are some pictures of street art i found online.
There are lots more exciting and wonderful pictures i haven't posted so try searching street art in google images.Some other really interesting "sculptures" found online are called inflatable bag arts.To find a good video on YouTube click the link belowhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH6xCT2aTSoThese are some of the better ones on google images:

The man who makes them is called Joshua Allen Harris and he started back in 2008.
The bags sit on the vents and look like junk, until a subway train goes underneath and air blows up the vent the monster is taped onto. when the air comes up the vent the monster inflates and everyone can see it for what it really is.
All the monster are made out of garbage bags and tape.

More amazing art next week!

rubiks cube art

this is a picture made for lots of Rubik's cube's.The Rubik's cube (first known as the magic cube but later changed) was invented in 1974 by Ernő Rubik.Ernő Rubik was born in Budapest, Hungary on the 13th of July 1944.
It won the German game of the year special award for Best Puzzle in 1980
Before January 2009, 350 million cubes had sold worldwide.
It is the world's top-selling puzzle game.
It is also thought by many to be the worlds best selling toy.
The original 3×3×3 was 30 in 2010.
I think this ar work is quite cool, mainly because it is very different, but also because it would have taken some skill to make.

This weeks drawing (Whoop!)

This is the next drawing i am blogging about. i drew it with a HB pencil and watercolours. It took about one and a half hours.I got the idea from the gorillaz evangelist drawing by Jamie Hewlett.                                                      (to view it go to: http://gorillaz.com/evangelist)the original by Hewlett was a figure with something similar to this, as its head.I love the band gorillaz and i think all of Hewlett's art is amazing(try searching Jamie Hewlett art in google images).
all the gorillaz band's film clips have been animated/drawn and so has the whole plastic beach interactive game on the website(give it a go).
on the gorillaz website there is a whole range of music and videos to hear and watch.
gorillaz latest album, plastic beach came out on the 3 March 2010 so check it out if you haven't already! (2010-03-03)3 March 2010 (2010-03-03)

first drawing

Here is the first drawing I am posting.
I drew this drawing at home on the weekend.
drawing is fun and a good thing to do if you're bored.
i found a drawing similar to this on the internet but i redrew it differently.

I think it is about world war and how it is destroying the earth.
I think that if everyone in the world was nice to each other the suicide rate would be at 1% and everybody would be happy and enjoy life.


Anyway goodbye till next time
