Apple Mac Key Skull T-shirt

RubyRedTees — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:06:08 EST

A classic skull icon but made with the keys from an extended white Mac keyboard and the keys from the black keyboard from the original iMac (the one with the half sized 'F' keys). I could say it depicts the obsolescence that all computer equipment faces, but really it's just skulls make great tees!

Peter Anton - Food Sculptures

kenw — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:19:08 EST

"In my sculptures I like to alter and overstate foods to give them new meanings. I have an innate reverence for the things we eat. Food brings people together and there is no better way to celebrate life. Through the use of humor, scale, irony, and intensity in my forms, the foods we take for granted become aesthetically pleasing and seductive in atypical ways. I like to create art that can lure, charm, tease, disarm and surprise. My sculptures put viewers in a vulnerable state so that I can communicate with their inner selves in a more honest and direct way. I activate the hunger people have for the things that give them pleasure and force them to surrender. The sensual nature of the works stimulates basic human needs and desires that generate cravings and passion."

The UNPLUG painting and its companion blog are simple reminders that my existence is a modest part of a greater whole. I do not seek an entirely unplugged life but I do seek a soul enriching connection with our little planet's natural wonders.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
