POPSNo Ordinary Love (with no ordinary images) I had never seen this before, and the photographer had no background information. So after reading through the comments on Flickr, someone who lived in the area was able to provide a few more details. And another user found the link to the artist's website.

POPSStunning Color From The Adelaide Festival: Northern Lights "During the Festival which ran from February 29th through March 16th, an estimated 15,000 people made their way each night to see the multi-building installation light up with 70 different projections that changed every five minutes. The turnout must have been a little unexpected because the installation was extended two weeks beyond the original ending date to March 30th. Even though the installation was such a success the festival honored Earth Hour on March 29th by turning off the lights for one hour."

POPSIn the eye of the beholder. Anyone interested in forming an informal art club on CM? No great aims. Post a picture. Ask others what they think about it - what they see. Tell them what you think about it - what you see. We all try to broaden our minds on many subjects; this is just another.

POPSColor Inspiration: Pattern and Decoration of Beatriz Milhazes
"Many of these explosions of colour originate in her small, compact studio, where she has been based since 1987. It is situated right next door to Rio’s luscious botanical gardens, and, inevitably, the forms and patterns of the flowers – delicate swirls and leaf-like shapes – have found their way into her paintings. She has also “taken advantage of the atmosphere of the city”, with its rich urban mix incorporating chitão (the cheap, colourful Brazilian fabric), jewellery, embroidery and folk art. Other influences range from architectural – the work of Roberto Burle Marx, the landscape architect and garden designer who created the five-kilometre Copacabana beach promenade in Rio – to Pop symbols such as Emilio Pucci fabric patterns. Painterly inspiration comes from the seventeenth-century Dutch artist Albert Eckhout, who travelled through colonial Brazil, and the Brazilian Modernist Tarsila do Amaral, as well as Mondrian, Matisse and Bridget Riley."

POPSColorful, pop-surreal, beautifully drawn art by Yosuke Ueno THANKS TO CLIPMARKS USER YOMOGI for this one; clip from this morning had a few images scaled down, but I really thought these were nice, so I captured the entire set at actual size.... a weird blend (but a lot of fun) beautifully drawn imageries, with a big dose of irrelevance - Yosuke Ueno is a young Japanese artist who paints in a style very close to the pop surrealist artists from America.

POPSBodyworks: art of the corpse I was lucky enough to see the exhibition in London five or so years ago. Enhancing, uplifting and beautiful. Think there is an exhibition in Manchester UK on now.

POPSThe History of Color In Photography Important Dates in Photography: 1850: Levi Hill claims to invent color photography, though his claims were highly contested 1861: Scottish physicist James Clerk-Maxwell demonstrates a color photography system involving three black and white photographs, each taken through a red, green, or blue filter. The photos were turned into lantern slides and projected in registration with the same color filters. This is the “color separation” method. 1868: Ducas de Hauron publishes a book proposing a variety of methods for color photography. 1877: Louis Ducos du Hauron experiments with subtractive color 1906: Availability of panchromatic black and white film and therefore high quality color separation color photography. J.P. Morgan finances Edward Curtis to document the traditional culture of the North American Indian. 1907: First commercial color film, the Autochrome plates, manufactured by Lumiere brothers in France

POPSPixels Go Mad - The Celebration Of Pixel Art Pixel art lives both in and beyond computer screen. Artists design pixel art posters, magazine covers, album covers, desktop wallpapers, paintings, “pixelish” video ads and even pixelated tattoos. And there is a good reason behind it: in times when popular design solutions strive for real-life-look or perfection pixel art offers a distinctive and creative artistic approach which is extremely expressive. In fact, pixel art can be impressive as well. This post attempts to prove just that.
