Bubble in the sky

Bubble in the sky, originally uploaded by Esther Moliné.

Hi! I just joined the site! Looking forward to seeing everybody else's work. I'm from Madrid but have been living in Dublin for the last 20 years! I'm interested in all kinds of art even though I'm mainly into photography myself. Haven't been doing it for very long though, still lots to learn! Here's a big bubble I caught at Grafton Street a while ago, thanks to a guy who's often making bubbles there

Independents Day!

Hello!

This is going to be a bit long, so:

1. Look at the poster I made for Independents Day! I hope you like it!

2. Would any of you, fabulous artists, like to participate in the Independents Day exhibition?

If so, contact Julia Duff (xxxjulz[at]gmail.com).

3. Let us have a Tinderbox stall. We can sell postcards, jewellery, artifacts, artwork, the zines (I have a bunch of copies of each issue)... It only costs a fiver, and it can be a lot of fun. It would be fan tas tic to go as a gang, perhaps spending just one hour each at the stall, then floating around between coffee, bands, and artzines!

I hope you think it is a good idea, please, drop a comment or email me (elida.maiques[at]gmail.com).

BLACKOUT POSTER Day Time - Play Time

The concept of the poster was to show how people have to present an image in work\day time but at night they can be themselves. I also thought this would be good for glow in the dark ink.

Harry Hill... yes really!

Harry Hill Art

There's a Vic Reeves-y quality to his work that I found very enticing.

Canon PIXMA ‘sound sculptures’

Canon have some gorgeous new ads, by Dentsu London, for one of their printers that feature high speed macro photography of paint droplets vibrating on speakers.

There's also a flickr gallery of the shoot here.

Remed Art

French-born graffiti artist Remed is often labeled one of the hardest workers on the field. Take a look at the volume of work that he has produced in the last few years. He must never take a break.

I'm really enjoying how he mixes vintage illustration styles with a contemporary flavour.

Art Of Light And Dark

Some very interesting installations based on the interplay of sculpture, light and shadow by Kumi Yamashita, a Japanese artist based in New York. There's also a piece that required some painstaking manipulation of a single thread...

Moonlight (long version)

Tinderboxers all,

This is the long version of that OneSecondFilm we made last week.

Does it take too long to load? Should I upload a smaller version?

Big or small, I hope you like it!

I am speechless ....

One Second Film: Moonlight

Hello!

I am still quite bad at keeping up with Tinderbox, but here you are: the latest crop of our weekly animation meet. I think it doesn't really work, there is too much movement involved, three different actions narrated in one second. I think I have to show just one.
So, I think you will see a second version soon.
In the meantime, howwwwwwwl!

By the way, Damo, fantastic austronaut cartoon. Great indeed.
My internet connection is too weak to see the film you posted, but I will try!

Back to Earth by Andrew Rae

Andrew Rae has illustrated a lovely simple wordless comic strip about an astronaut who struggles with adjusting back to normal life on earth after having flown to the moon. The simple black & white line drawings and his choice of framing & composition for each scene are perfect, click here to see it all.

Buildings & Vampires

This short animation directed by Sebastian Baptista & Nico Casavecchia illustrates the story Max makes up for his mam at the start of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The combination of animation on top of live action stick puppets is nicely done and integrated pretty seamlessly.

Threadless

Hi there fellow Tinderboxers.

I wonder if you have all heard of Threadless? They're a very well-known tshirt company that receives illustrations from the general public. If your illustration/design is selected, it goes up for voting in their public forum. After 7 days, if you have enough votes from the forum, they print your tshirt and give you lots of delicious cash-money!

Can you help me get my design printed by going to Threadless and scoring it? Pretty please? You have to create an account, but its quick and painless! I often go to threadless just to look at all the fabulous designs that are submitted.
Anyhoo, my design is a silly tee/onesy for kids that somehow got selected for consideration. WOOHOO!

Also, all you talented tinderboxers should give it a go.

Wish me luck and thanks for voting :)

Ridiculous Pencil Lead Sculptures

Dalton Ghetti carves amazing miniature sculptures out of the tip of a pencil. See more here.

Parc de Belleville

A childrens' exhibition I stumbled upon while visiting Parc de Belleville.

Pixar: Day and Night

Pixar is famous for their award winning animated feature films. They also produce little show-piece animations to accompany new releases in cinemas. This one, Day and Night is shown before Toy Story 3. If you get a chance to see it on the big screen, it's captivating!

Charles Avery

I really like this guy. I should send him an invite for this Blog!

"Working across a range of media, Avery's art is characterised by formal beauty, humour and a spirit of philosophical enquiry, and is influenced by the work of (among others) William Blake, PG Woodehouse, Jorge Luis Borges, Joseph Beuys and Joseph Kosuth..."

Big Blue Thank You Monster

New custom artwork in my studio

New work: Luisa & Peter.
Paper sculpture in a wood box with glass.

New custom artwork from my studio.

This commissioned work is a gift from my wonderful friend Mercedes for her cousins Luisa and Peter, who celebrate their silver jubilee.

Mercedes asked me to include the Romanesque chapel in which they were married and evoked the beautiful garden, where it is located.

Luisa and Peter accompanied by their sons and friendly dogs. I hope you enjoy it!.

A big hug!!
