Milas Daydreams
http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/ This is what happens when you leave the Art Attack guy alone with your baby. This woman’s sleeping infant is a prop for her fevered imaginations. Some really smart work, here.
Anastassia Elias – Peinture, collage, illustration
http://www.anastassia-elias.com/index.php?id=367 Amazing shadowbox art created from toilet roll tubes. Easy to resist “art is shit” comments when the end product is as intriguing as this.

English Russia & Leningrad Siege: Now and Then

Bent Objects

INCREDIBLY witty little scenes, made of simple materials and shot with a professional eye. No wonder the artist’s snagged a book deal so quickly. This is fabulous work.
Funpic.hu – biggest collection of funny pictures and videos
http://www.funpic.hu/en.picview.php?id=33192&c=-1&s=dd&p=2 While most of it is tagging dreck, a good piece of graffiti can actually uplift a dull area. This one could uplift anything, methinks.
