The Infinity Room By French Artist, Serge Salat

French artist and architect Serge Salat has created a private cosmos where visitors are invited to journey through endless layers of space mapped out using cubic shapes, paneled mirrors, shifting lights, and music. “Beyond Infinity” is a multi-sensory, multimedia experience that blends Eastern Chinese with Western Renaissance, modern, and contemporary visual culture into a singular work.

Kina Grannis 'In Your Arms' Jelly Bean Music Video

I saw Kina Grannis 'In Your Arms' music video for the first time today. It's simply amazing - literally a work of art! It took almost two years with the work of 30 people, and required 288,000 Jelly Belly jelly beans. Mmmm I love Jelly Bellies (my favorites are Pear and Root Beer)! Director Greg Jardin and his team assembled every bean, in every 2,640 frames and shot them individually! Yikes! Basically he created a music video with the same concept as the flip book.  Props to Greg and his extreme patience! Check it out. P.S. the behind the scene's clip is great too!

Robert Sabuda Pop-Up Books For Your Lovebugs

Being a full time nanny, I read an astronomical amount of Children's books! Robert Sabuda pop-ups are my favorite. His attention to detail is amazing; you can even see furniture inside the pop-up house of Alice in Wonderland! And the Emerald City Castle in The Wizard of Oz, comes with 3D glasses! Each page is a work of art. These books will blow you away!


PaperEngineer Robert Sabuda is a pioneer in the field of Children’s Pop-Up Books.Since 1994, when he published his first title “The Christmas Alphabet,” Sabudahas not only been pushing the envelope and raising the bar in pop-uppublishing, but he has virtually created his own genre. Though there arecertainly other pop-up books being published, very few can compete with thesophisticated engineering of Sabuda’s work.

Thomas Doyle: Miniature Worlds

Thomas Doyle is themaster of miniature worlds. His work is magnificently detailed and emotionallyintriguing. This art breaks my heart. It makes me hold my breath just thinking aboutthese poor little miniature people. Any art that can provoke such a reaction isA+ in my book. This guy is a genius. I would love to know what you think of it.

A note from theartist:

Hovering above theglass, the viewer approaches these worlds as an all-seeing eye, looking downupon landscapes that dwarf and threaten the figures within.

Conversely, theprivate intensity of moments rendered in such a small scale draws the viewerin, allowing for the intimacy one might feel peering into a museum display caseor dollhouse. Though surrounded by chaos, hazard, and longing, the figures’faces betray little emotion, inviting viewers to lose themselves in thesecrucibles.

The glass itselfcontains and compresses the world within it, seeming to suspend timeitself—with all its accompanying anguish, fear, and bliss. By sealing the worksin this fashion, I hope to distill the debris of human experience down to single,fragile moments.

Upcoming work on view: Thomas Doyle's solo exhibition Surface to air opens November 12th at LeBasse Projects gallery in Culver City, California.

Vans Shoe Art

I love art! Every now and then I will "Sharpie" a pair of shoes for my friends. My latest pair was requested by Ryan, the photographer of our engagement pictures. Ryan Longnecker runs a company called Equals D Photography. He wanted "photography themed" vans with earthy colors. Here I am coffee staining the background to achieve a vintage photography look.

Here are some other shoes that I have created.
