I went to see this exhibition today and was astonished by the details and accuracies of these large scale oil paintings and bronze sculptures made all within the past two years!
How did the artist accomplish such combination of care, size, and speed?

Robert Blomfield’s photography
Quote from this article:
… he considered becoming a pro photographer. However, fearing that working on commission would blunt the spontaneity of his images, he decided to continue in his chosen career in the medical profession.

Scrap geometry
At first I thought this sculpture was made from inflated half balloons but upon closer examination it was made from geodesic strips made from discarded boxes.
Scrap art
Looking close and in isolation, each object is an assemblage of scrap materials, but collectively they form a group of birds.

Alice Neel
Artists without formal academic training can sometimes create very unique and interesting styles.
I learned about Alice Neel from this podcast.

The doubtful guest
I spotted this palm-sized book on a shelf in Kinokuniya San Francisco, and managed to read it in a few minutes. When the book is open, you will see a few (usually two) lines of rhymed texts on the left and an meticulously hatched illustration on the right. Both the story the art have a very interesting style.
