I'm a fan of Owl's and this Owl series is just amazing. You would think that someone just colored these owl's but really they are near photo-realistic drawings.
John Pusateri uses pencils, charcoal, and pastels to create these beautiful colored owls. Pusateri currently has a number of his works available through
Seed Gallery. You can see more from this owl series in his
portfolio.

Artist
Clement Briend traveled to Cambodia to photograph deities and spirits from Cambodian culture to overlay them on trees in several urban areas with digital projectors. As you can see, they look amazing and it would be something that I would like to see in person. Here is what he had to say about the project.
"It’s a beautiful surprise when the projected spirits awaken and reveal themselves at night as though they are made of the towering trees themselves. The photographic light installations echo the spirituality of the few sprouts of nature in the predominantly urban landscapes. It is a visual imagining of the divine figures that inhabit the world, as seen through an environmentally aware spiritual eye."
You can see more images from this series on
Briend's website.

There is something about
Illustrations that always find a spot of interest in my love for art. The rich dark color tones and the imagination of others.
UK based illustrator
Luke Twyman has sparked my interest with the release of some of his new illustrations that I like to think have a winter/snow midnight type feel to them. These icy landscapes have a texture to them that gives an almost calming and silent feel and I look forward to seeing more work by Twyman.

I was strolling around on
iso50 blog when I came across a short interview by
Milton Glaser. In his interview he talks about slowing down and focusing on the finishing line on your own personal work. He also talks about the role of art, which I found to be very interesting. If you're looking for a little bit of creativity, watch the interview below.
Proof Eyewear has some slick wood style glasses and sunglasses to fit your sustainable wood needs. Each are hand crafted from sustainable source wood. My favorite style so far is the
Boise ($90), a slim, sleek and traditional style frame. The wood used in these frames are sustainably sourced making them environmentally friendly. Each frame is polished and coated with a water/sweat protective layer.
Proof not only strives to give back to the environment, they also strive to help those in need. A portion of each sale goes to non profit charities Proof believes in. Proof works with nonprofits in India that provide sight giving surgeries to people with cataracts.
(Proof RX frames are prescription ready, meaning you can use them with the clear lens they come with or take them to a local eye care professional to have your prescription filled.)
Check out there other
wood style glasses and sunglasses.
