With Valentine’s Day coming up, heart themed art seems to be popping up everywhere… in comes David Foox with his limited edition of 8 anatomical hearts painted on X-ray films. They kinda blew me away!
Using his own heart x-rays as the medium, Foox paints with heavy duty acrylics over the x-rays to create a very unique and personal piece.
The pieces retail at $3000 a piece, and measure 20″ x 17″ x 3″ each mounted on a lightbox.
I love these necklaces by Norwegian designer Bjorg Jewellery. Using different charms such as eyes, crows, human hearts and teeth, the collection includes necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants.
The pieces are dark, edgy and are all made from natural and precious materials. I especially love the heart charm, so vintage goth! Check out her website too, its very well done!
Awesome poster by Vuk Vidor, an artist from Belgrade working in Paris. Titled Art History (part one – version C), the poster pretty much lists different artists to their influence. An art history lesson in a nutshell!

I’ve been watching a lot of Six Feet Under recently, so when I saw these ceramics by The New English, I was instantly inspired!
Titled Anatomica, and designed by Lisa Turner, the ceramic designs really take on the spirit of 19th century anatomical drawings and science. Love them!
Seen on the streets of Baltimore by Gaia!
Designed by Kevin Champeny from Jellio and made with about 2000 acrylic Gummi bears, this light chandelier is just SWEET!
Each fixture takes a little over a month to make, but is definitely worth the wait…
Fashion designers are rock stars! Between the mobs of people pushing and shoving to get into their shows, to the crazy lighting, music, clothes, and the ovations they receive at the end of each show, they’ve turned into our satorial idols… everyone wants a piece of them!

I’ve always been drawn to the street art of Beirut. During my travels, I love to go around taking pictures of interesting stencils or graffiti. So naturally, I was excited to hear about Tala F. Saleh’s book, Marking Beirut – A City Revealed Through Its Graffiti.
The book, which was created as part of Tala’s “Project de Diplôme” at the American University of Beirut, is “a visual reading of the city of Beirut through the stencils on her walls, an outsider’s view of an internal struggle.” It features 160 pages of graphic and analytical information on this subject, and also includes 8 sheets of stencils which readers can practice their stenciling on. Very cool!
Marking Beirut is available in all major bookstores across Lebanon and the Middle East. Buy it online here.
