Tokujin Yoshioka often transforms simple everyday objects into beautiful creations. This is apparent in his piece Tornado that he installed in Miami using 2 million plastic straws.
Installation artwork translates well to 2-d platforms such as tumblr because it encourages you to imagine how the space must look. So dedicate some time to observing this work slowly.
What do you think about Yoshioka’s installation?

The Wall - 13,000 Oil Barrels, Gasometer, Oberhausen, Germany, 1998-99

The Gasometer, one of the largest gas tanks in the world, 360 feet (110 meters) high by 223 feet (68 meters) in diameter, was built in 1928 to store the gas (a by-product of the industrial production of iron ore). Christo and Jeanne-Claude were invited by IBA Emscher Park Organization (founded by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in 1989 to improve the infrastructure of the Ruhrregion), to exhibit in the Gasometer in Oberhausen.
In perhaps our most epic fan art submission to date, Nathanael de Boer and Emma McCann have recreated a HONY portrait using burnt toast.
Most gorgeous tattoo forever.
So OF COURSE it has to come from a blog notorious for never, ever sourcing. ::sigh::
I support geometric tattoos.

Ok, not to be all art-nerd on you, but this version by Artemisia Gentileschi (A name I had to memorize in art history class and automatically say out loud when I see the paintings) is way better than Caravaggio’s.
Caravaggio’s version is like “Dafuq? I’m cutting off a head?”
This one is like “Boom…decapitated”
Oh Tom, just when I couldn’t possibly like you more you submit this and now I like you just a smidge less.
Caravaggio is like “You’ll drink this light mastery until you’re drunk on it and you’ll damn well like it!”
Gentileschi is all, “I’m a woman but seriously guys, what’s a female face and how do emotions work?”
Yeah, but he still painted the wrong emotion on that face no matter how well he did it.
I also hated Catcher in the Rye, I think Damian Hirst is a talentless little bitch, I’m usually lost on Murakami, and LOST was literally the most disappointing show ever.
