I drew this comic for the Fred Rogers Centerfor Early Learning and Children’s Media at Saint Vincent College. Thanks to Professor Junlei Li for collaborating on its creation!
The Center works to further the legacy of Mr. Rogers by promoting child development through the power of human connection. Like countless children of the 20th century, I grew up watching Mr. Rogers. His earnestness, simplicity, and openness to imagination is something I strive for in my work and life.
Kendra Haste creates the most incredible, life-like animal scultpures using layers of painted galvanized wire atop steel armature.
Kendra Haste is a contemporary animal sculptor who uses galvanized wire as her medium to create large and small lifelike creatures. From the muscular body of a lion to the delicate hairs on the monkey’s neck, you will be amazed at how much detail she weaves with what most people
would consider plain chicken wire.
“No other material I have ever
used has been able to suggest the sense of movement and life, of contour
and volume, the contrasts of weight and lightness, of solidity and
transparency – values that I find in my natural subjects. It is the
perfect medium, inviting continuing exploration and challenge,” Haste says.
Some of her works until 2021 at the Tower of London.
Take a look at a few of her works below and view her online gallery for more.
Fractal art is a type of digital art that’s considered new media. It’s not drawn or painted by hand, rather, fractal-generating software is used that relies on mathematical calculations to visually display objects. Italy-born Silvia Cordedda was made aware of fractal art in 2012, and has since amassed a body of work that’s nothing short of extraordinary.
Her 3D abstract art is often centered on flowers but ones that could never exist in this world. The translucent nature of the pedals coupled with the brilliant variety of colours makes each flower look as if it could only exist in our dreams or perhaps a wonderful, magical world.
The other day at work when the tint poured into the paint can, it made this incredible work of art. I wish I could have kept it this way, but alas, the customer still needed their paint. :)
