Palette Of Paint And A Tree – Augmented Reality of Russian Street Artist

Russian street artist, Dudnikova Eugene, augments reality. Her origin code is a palette of paint along with her most recent software of choice would be a tree. In the edge of towns, in parks and woods, someone may stumble upon these augmentations and be amazed by these small static augments.

The tree graffiti is a subtle shift in a time when digital arenas are more common than real ones. They’re small and insignificant, and yes, we’re ironically seeing them now through an article on a website on a screen, but to imagine what it must have felt like to stand alone, surrounded by nature, placing claws to trees… it’s a refreshing sense Eugene Dudnikova has reminded us of.

Furious Beauty Of Supercell Storms caught by American Photographer

American photographer Camille Seaman has documented the furious beauty of supercell storms extending from North Dakota to Texas in a series labeled ‘The Big Cloud’. Teaming with experienced storm chasers, Seaman was able to catch the natural phenomena looming through the western landscape — immortalizing billowing cloud masses and smoky gray tornadoes. The job represents seaman’s relationship towards nature — especially concerning people and their environment — requesting her audience to consider their environment and its importance. The storms seaman struck would reach dimensions of 50 miles broad and 65, 000 feet large, able to produce grapefruit-sized hail.

Seaman says of her artwork:

‘Within my continuation of exploring subjects in nature that can illustrate that the interconnection of all life on earth I found myself stalking a type of single giant cloud known as a supercell. All I can do is make sure I’m prepared for the few minutes I have.’

Dreamy Self-Portraits By Young Talented Artist From Ohio Will Hypnotize You

Rachel Baran who no doubt is a talented photographer likes to label herself as with a small handbag but big dreams. Of course, she does a good deal of this dreaming while wide awake, behind her camera. The young 20-year-old from Ohio claims that “One of my many very elaborate hobbies is taking photographs of myself, but I promise I’m not a total narcissist.”


The young lady makes the disclaimer, as she uses herself as the subject in the majority of her work. The rub lies with a few tweaks on Photoshop, creating absorbingly special details that transform the images, getting pictures that straddle fantasy and reality.

Baran unashamedly uses herself in each of these inventions, a rather bizarre set of self-portraits. One could say that Baran can produce an enigmatic mirror of herself which is present in a parallel dimension. It is a slightly grim fact, with hers dressed in dark and white faceless, set in surroundings that could only be described as desolate and dreary.

They manifest a dark emotional tone that could only function as subliminal musings of a brain that is consumed with the murky pictures of bad dreams and nightmares. However, Baran, the photographer reveals her exceptional gift, capturing the surreal and weird quite amazingly. Her approach has been described as being moody for a few, a signature style that is filled with emotion, a quality that helps draw more viewers.
What’s especially impressive about Baran’s photos is the narrative behind every one of them, particularly with the knowledge that what you find is quite closely connected with Baran herself, a solitary female in a make-believe world.

Scott Slagerman Studio Creates Elegant Glass Vases Inside Pieces Of Wood

To explore the symbiotic relationship between two vastly different materials, LA-based artist Scott Slagerman in collaboration with Jim Fishman made this tasteful Wood & Glass collection. Every glass vase is formed by blowing it into a shape cut from wood while it lays flat on a table, making sure that the different objects fit perfectly just like puzzle pieces. To get a labor-intensive process which needs an exact dance of rate and motion, the added difficulty of working with a flammable enclosure appears remarkable. From Slagerman’s artist statement:

Scott Slagerman has always been captivated by the glass — how it is transformed from a delicate, yet good unyielding state to molten fluidity and back again; and how this mutable substance, via a process that is both dangerous and delicate, can create objects equally esoteric and essential. He’s fascinated with the role that glass plays architecture, as well as from the everyday items which we find around us.

Having photographed these magical creatures since 2010, Raimond is now an expert at catching them during their most adorable moments. Her latest images capture a range of resilient red foxes enjoying summer.

“It’s been years since I had the chance to picture foxes in a blizzard,” says Raimond, who jumped at the chance to catch the fairytale foxes.

In the exhausted into the brave, each one of the hearty animals take the conditions in stride.
