Unsightly cables as wall art

cable-drawings

Maisie Maud Broadhead’s Cable Drawings – A series of installations created with wire flex and cable fixings – is a splendid way to deal with excess cable-age. Although you’d have to have rather a lot of excess to pull off anything resembling the masterpiece above… or an extension cord. Which would kind of defeat the object.

Plastic Life: amazing photos of miniature people

plastic-life-stubble-lawn

French artist Vincent Bousserez takes photos of miniature plastic people in normal sized surroundings. There are men climbing to the summit of a human nipple, workmen quarrying a slice of cake, window cleaners traversing a watch face and (my favourite, above) a man mowing a lawn of stubble. The stubble lawn seems to perfectly blur the lines between a father’s adult features and a child’s imagination.
