The Art of the Brick

By Nichole Camarillo

I'm sure everyone's had those moments where you're bored out of your mind, fed up to here, and contemplating dropping your job in true Half Baked fashion to follow your dreams. But not everyone's job is as dead end as our buddy Scarface there, and not everyone's dream is to...play with Legos? That's right. Lego artist, Nathan Sawaya, up and left his career as an attorney to pursue his Lego dreams full time. The result of such stupidity? Genius...

"The worst day in the art studio is still better than the best day in the law firm"

-Nathan Sawaya

[My personal favorite...]

Anyone that needs to see it to believe it can catch Nathan's work at Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Museum where it is currently on display. For more sculptures, shows, and tour dates please visit the artist's website.

Hot Art Makes For Hot Shoes (Addicts)

By Nichole Camarillo

Okay, so we're gonna go ahead and forget the fact that I've been M.I.A. across the board for the past six weeks and just start fresh, Yeah? Yeah. K, great. Check out these badass shoes! :D

You guys probably remember these from Release Four of July's One A Week project. Well, some incredibly smart person with impeccable taste over at Artsprojekt decided to add these ladies to their collection. So I thought I'd share their pics with you. [Click images to open large in new window]

Got the itch to pick some up for yourself? You can find them here in my shop for a sweet $60 bucks. This artwork is also available on a mini slip-on version and a lace-up version and, as always, is customizable. Enjoy.

Thanks to Artsprojekt for providing the photos... Originally posted on The PROJEKT.

One Day SALE - 60% OFF Art Prints

By Nichole Camarillo

Valid December 8, 2009 ONLY

Yeah, it's real. :) Today's Daily Deal in December was so HUGE, I felt an injustice being done by not giving it some breathing room. The print sales are always favored by you guys. And this one is BIG. This kind of discount (if we're lucky) maybe comes twice a year. Definitely worth it to head over and check out.

Choose any painting to be printed (28 different paintings available), choose any size (sizes run from 11"x 15" to 52"x 69"), and choose any media (from basic poster to gloss canvas). But whatever you choose, make sure you get in before it's too late. Enjoy! :)
