Kseniya Simonova – Sand Artist

This seems to be the week for finding great artists.  I’ll be sharing a few more videos and links this week cause I keep finding such great stuff!  This first one is from Kseniya Simonova, a Russian sand artist who lives in the Ukraine and who won the 2009 Ukraine’s Got Talent competition; the Ukrainian version of America’s Got Talent.  It’s a representation of the German invasion of the Ukraine during World War II.  Absolutely amazing.

Are you doing anything with your art that’s amazing?  If not, it’s time to step it up a notch…

The evolution of album art

Wired is running an interesting article about how album art is changing.  A quick summary: vinyl offered more space, but digital offers more function.  Digital graphic artists are now recognizing that with the transition to digital music, comes digital artwork as well, which doesn’t have to only be a static picture.  Since it’s all digital, it could be a video, a widget, or any other form of digital artwork. It’s fun to watch things change right in front of us.  I can’t wait to try out new formats and see what the limits of album artwork really can be.
