If cars really could fly then I'd take lessons to learn how to drive straight away. As it so happens, cars don't fly. So I don't drive.

Erwin Wurm's 'UFO' is very convincing, though. I almost believe that my futuristic fantasy car already exists out there, somewhere.

This painting at Nucleus Gallery by Yoko Tanaka made me smile. It is entitled "Passport of Pawland for Zinfandel".

I'm a bit obsessed with anglepoise lamps at the moment, so I loved this as soon as I saw it - it is a "light blub" by Pieke Bergmans.

This piece and others in the series are described as light bulbs which have "gone way out of line", taking on strange forms and sizes. There are some really great images on Pieke's website.

DKNG Studios are Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman. I was particularly impressed by their perfect portfolio of posters (drawn in by an image on FFFFOUND!, as per usual).

Michael Wolf used Google Street View to create interesting images of Paris. Largely unaware of the Google cameras, people (and pigeons!) go about their everyday business, allowing for artistic crops of natural moments.

Artist Mona Hatoum exhibited this 'paravent', a black finished steel folding screen, at 2008's Art Basel. It takes the form of a giant steel cheese grater!

Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz are responsible for these super snowglobes, entitled 'Travelers', part of an ongoing series. More exquisite up-close narrative details can be seen on this page.

Jason Limon has some beautiful work on his website - I remember seeing these electricity-inspired pieces a while ago but there is also a lot of fresh new work on his site you should definitely take a look at.

Nuh Sarche lives in Berlin and takes some wonderful polaroid photos. My favourites are the ones with colour codes added at the bottom, drawing your attention to the subtleties of the image which might have been missed.

I have never seen tattoos like these before - beautiful, abstract and brushstroke-like, created by artist Amanda Wachob.

Doktor A created this one-off sculptural tribute to Pac-Man. This steampunk approach to gaming made me smile - I can imagine Victorian gentlemen playing this in the pubs of the 1800s!

Oh my, it's the 300th post on 'hovering cat'! Let's celebrate with an image by Canadian stencil artist Roadsworth, AKA Peter Gibson, whose witty work adapts existing road graphics to great effect.

David Byrne's installation 'Playing The Building' is at the Roundhouse in London from the 8th - 31st August.


The work consists of an old pump organ with a series of low-tech cables and wires attached to the building’s pillars, pipes and beams. These vibrate and resonate in response to the organ keys, and the building itself becomes a giant musical instrument.

More information about the work can be seen on David Byrne's website.

Live Now is an absolutely brilliant project which focuses on the notion of 'living now'.

Created by artist, illustrator & graphic designer Eric Smith, the project is a growing collaborative collection of artwork, quotes, thoughts, experiences and ideas. Check it out and be inspired.

This is probably true.

Simone Decker's work "Chewing in Venice" consists of giant amounts of chewing gum in the streets - they look great but I wouldn't want to step on one inadvertently!

This image is called "A happy town in France" - fun! I love most "mid-century modern"-style artwork painted in gouache, especially if the artist is Matte Stephens, whose awesome Flickr feed can be found here.

Impressive animal sculptures by AJ Fosik.

When I saw this, I suddenly remembered the mountain of VHS my family used to keep next to the TV in the late 80s - early 90s, all lovingly labeled with handwritten stickers. This is a pretty much perfect representation.

Canadian artist and illustrator Ray Fenwick has some particularly wonderful work. Visit his website here.
