Second Skins Artwork By Miguel Vallinas

Second Skins Artwork By Miguel Vallinas


Titled Segundas Pieles (Second Skins) by photographer Miguel Vallinas, the ongoing series includes some 50+ animals whose personalities seem to be perfectly amplified by their pitch-perfect attire, making the portraits just a bit more human than animal. I'm pretty sure the hipster bird in the cardigan works at a coffee shop by my house.

Sugar Series Artistic Photography

Sugar Series Artistic Photography


Emily Blincoe's color-coded photographs of well-known sweets are enough to make one salivate. By meticulously grouping different types of sweets and their packaging, Blincoe urges us to take a good look at the wrappers of what we are consuming. Each shot also allows us to imagine the colors and the flavors of each sweet treat, showing that how one perceives taste is also linked to color.

Layered Portraits of Cardboard

Layered Portraits of Cardboard

English artist Giles Oldershaw has a very unique talent. He can take discarded pieces of cardboard, the kind pizza boxes are made of, and turn them into amazing portraits of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe or Marlon Brando using only the cardboard's layers to highlight their features.

Special Effects of Painting

Special Effects of Painting

These amazing creations come from the mind of Matthew Albanese, who has a slight fascination with film, special effects and movie magic.

The photographs and the diorama for them (bellow) are homage's to the wetlands of the Hackensack River in New Jersey. He spent more than seven months turning ostrich feathers into willow trees (a painstaking process that involved dyeing, stitching and weaving each individual barb), tying raffia ribbon bits into cattails, and carving chocolate into mud.

To capture the stormy scene Mr. Albanese turned on a fan and planted dry ice behind the cattails; for the sunset version, he placed cotton batting and colored light bulbs behind a muslin sky.
