Underwater sculptures by Jason Decaires Taylor. I HIGHLY recommend visiting his site and checking out how cool all his sculptures look when various forms of sea flora and fauna begin using the artwork as a home!

The fabulous work of self-taught Spanish artist, David A. Genjo.

Says the artist:

In my work colour, light and texture play across the human model, where a physical moment of a body is a metonym for life’s emotions, thoughts and desires.

Check out more of his work here.

Can’t believe this is the first time I’ve ever done this. I posted this on the wrong blog. It was intended for you nonetheless!

This is a piece by Jean-François Martin. All I can really tell you is that he appears to be part of a collective called Costume 3 Pieces. Other than that, I had a hard time finding more info on him. But I loved this piece a ton so I had to share it! Enjoy.

Hey Tumblr!

I didn’t forget about you! I took a vacation (which was LOVELY) and a little time on the backend to recover (sleep). But I’m back now and ready to share more beautiful art to make your work days slightly more tolerable!

i really appreciate that you name the artist for every post ... few tumblrs do that!!!

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:39:07 -0500

Thank you! It really bothers me when people don’t. Often I see people saying “Well I’m not making money off of it” or “I’m getting their work noticed!”…But it doesn’t matter if your work is noticed if no one knows who made it. And even if the person posting it isn’t making money, who’s to say who will take that image and decide that since there’s no credit, it’s now an “orphan work” and can be used for whatever purposes they desire…

I’m just not comfortable with that…

Hey, new followers!

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:32:33 -0500

I see I picked up some new followers in the last 24 hours. Great to have you here! FYI - I don’t post a ton, just once* a day with something I find artistically inspiring. It’s mostly been visual arts, with some music here or there, but I think this year I will be expanding my curatorial horizons - glad to have you join me!

*On some extra special days I post a couple times.
