And now for something completely different...

Some amusing dog costumes. For Halloween. Or anytime, really.

Abandoned paintings...

It's a case of "right place, wrong time" for these re-imagined masterpieces by Hungarian art student Bence Hajdu.

Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper"

Sandro Botticelli  'Annunciation'  1489-1490

Jacques-Louis David  'Oath of the Horatii'  1784

Fra Angelico  'the Annunciation'  1450

Claude Lorrain  'Seaport with the Embarkation of St. Ursula'  1641

Andrea Mantegna  'Oculus in the Camera Degli Sposi'  1473

Hotel envy...

Tolkienesque hotellery with 4* amenities at the Magic Mountain Hotel in Chile. Luckily I think it's grown up enough not to have confused Disneyland seeking kiddies running around. And did I mention it has a waterfall spilling from the top!

Weird and wonderful...

Is the work of lighting artist Alex Randall, whose fairy tale furries and taxidermy tales are bewitching and bemusing. And there is something inherently English about them.

 

Flat out...

...intrigued by the "Flat" series (Sound/Time/Light) created by Finn Magee. Space saving, functional, artistic and witty - my kind of design.

Spotlight on...

I love his work, it's very "penthouse-chic"and there is an artesian crispness to his work.
