I came across these in my daily search for how Star Wars is taking over mass culture.
Artist Dale May uses star wares figurines and mashes them up with top brands to create unique works of art.The results are wonderful.
Chewbacca x Tory Burtch
Darth Vader x Chanel
And my favorite. LV3PO
When icons meet icons.
An idea worthy of paying attention to and could be adapted by today's guerrilla marketer, The Pothole Gardener goes around London filling up those unsightly potholes with the lovliest of tiny gardens (I have been using the word 'lovely' way too much recenty). There is such detail in these and I am sure, once discovered that they bring a smile to people's faces. Another good idea I did not come up with.
Interesting idea here and certainly one to generate interest among the art set. Art Series Hotels in Australia is offering guests the chance to steal one of two Banksy pieces, No Ball Games and Pulp Friction. The deal, if you can get away with the crime, you get to keep the valuable art. Supposedly one has successfully been stolen while one still remails.
Clandestine collectors have used tactics ranging from re-wiring the internal security cameras so would be thieves couldn't be seen to scantily clad women distracting staff.
I wonder if Banksy would approve?
Random images I have saved to my desktop over the last few weeks.
Hello Friday.
Talk about an experience that Target should have sponsored. Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama took an all white room and gave children colored dots to place wherever they want. The results as you can see are pretty extraordinary.
The Artist
The experience, entitled 'Obliteration Room' was designed for the Queensland Art Gallery's ‘APT 2002: Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’. So if you are in the neighborhood, check it out.
Maybe this is more amazing than questionable, but still, I love that this is something that someone created and ran and ideally also fabricated.
