stumble upon this.

A website I happened to "stumble upon" has me entertained for hours, as a web-surfer-enthusiast, but also as an artist.

 

Stumbleupon.com is a website that leads the surfer to new and aesthetically pleasing web-pages that have been submitted or recommended to the site. It keeps the viewers thinking with sites that show artist bending the definition of art. It showcases artists who think in unique ways when it comes to their artwork.  

What happens when you dial in to this site is simply click the button that says  "stumble upon".  This takes you to a random website.  There is also a "stumble upon" button for a specific genre of site, like art, theatre, artists, humor or photography. It comes up sites, in these catagories with the most interesting creations. 

In one I found "make something cool everyday"  where artist Brock Davis, makes some sort of design, photo, sculpture, illustration or just creates something amazing everyday! All of his creations are interesting, out of the norm and fun! 

He has many photos of M & Ms creating a simple and creative way to represent popular TV characters. 

Here is one titled ... "the Simpsons" 

Cleverly he has put together four yellow M & Ms to represent Homer and the kids and one blue M & M to stand in for Marge and her aqua colored hair. 

 Another site illustrates an artist's use of an exacto knife to make the cover of books into 3-d images that jump from the cover of books into real space. I have never seen anything like this! 

IT's from the blog "make do and mend"  :

More sites I tripped over: 

•  cute overload : mass pics of puppies, baby tigers, and many other animals that make anyone say "AW"

• The next one showcases a master of photography. This is a series of photos using the same model. The photographer, lighting designer and makeup artist have been able to send this twenty year model into the past as well as in the future and show what she may have looked like at 10, 20 years of age as well as project what she will look like at  30, 40, 50, and 60 years old.  20 year old model photographed as if she was 10,20,30,40,50,60 years old  

• A literal version of the 80's music Video "take on me" that narrates what is happening in the video to the tune of the song in the video. This is an artist who is creative and has a knowledge of music to take the popular song and make it his own parody. 

• <<<< Efeitos Realistas,

uses  trick photo

graphy to make images look like two things are meant to fit together. The image have been photographed so that the tulip makes this woman's skirt.  This tricks the eye.  To think of art like this takes innovation and skill to get the photograph just right to make a perfect fit of the two objects. 

Stumbleupon.com is a great place for artists to be inspired in all forms of artistry. These are some of the sites that rearrange the definition of art through the creativity of the artists on the sites.
