    Kayo O'Young is a fairly well known Canadian potter...

    i couldn't find any decent pictures of his work... i wish he had his own website... but here's something:

    I have about a dozen of his pieces scattered about my living room... :)



    great stuff! i love really well done pottery, one of my fave crafts. when i was up in edmonton for pj i stayed on a few days, checked out many of the local galleries. i bought a beautiful silver box and a gorgeous pottery vase, all made by local artists. i love supporting the local art community in any place i visit, best kind of souvenir you can possibly get imho.

    quite possibly. also, there is a genius female graphic artist, barbara kruger, so who knows. i am amazed that i remember any artists' names anymore, far, far, far too many rattling around my head. :p


    another fave painter, another surrealist, belgian, rene magritte:

    a real fave painting....gustav klimt : the kiss
    not the best reproduction. much more luminous, and sharp - haha - elsewhere, but the only image i could manage to copy/paste here.

    I'd like at add Dale Chihuly to this list... most amazing blown glass in the world... :D

    Here are some examples of his chandeliers (use the red arrows to scroll through..)

    He's most well known for his ceiling installation at the Bellagio in Vegas...

    his work IS truly amazing, thanks for the links. i have seen a good deal of his glasswork in person, beautiful, and such skill.

    thank you too, for posting a few crafts out there, definitely within the confines of the arts absolutely. i think far too often they are ignored, and wrongfully so.

    any work created with true vision and an artful eye, brilliant stuff.

    i love The Kiss as well!

    my mom actually has a Klimt "theme" in her new living room (lol! kinda...)
    she happened to find an area rug which looks very much like a part of this painting... it looks fantastic with her new, sleek, black sofas and gold and aubergene walls! :)

    mark ryden's "rose" (featured on the TLC's tattoo show miami ink...click on "rose42" in the gallery...)

    Mookie - thanks for posting this link! I really want to check it out, but i'm a little afraid of looking at it at work... that would be a tough one to explain to coworkers passing by... ;)

    I saw the Miami Ink episode with Rose ... Garver did an amazing job!
    OK, let's face it... i've seen EVERY episode :)... I'm totally addicted to this show, and am tempted to head down to Miami to have one of the guys tattoo me! (maybe a PJ tatt for my 30th birthday??) :D
