He's a half man half horse




The amazing art work of Michael Zavros which is new to me but not the art world. The first image entitled Gucci Black is an oil on board he created in 2007, the second image is entitled Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking/Bay and is an oil on canvas and the third image is entitled Burberry Prorsum/Bay and is an oil on canvas -the last two images were created in 2006.

Zavros appears to be an artist enchanted by horses, as the above images are not the only creations his done concerning horses, but I can understand his fascination with the animals; they are large, muscular creatures that also appear majestic and gentle.

I think the first time I ever learnt about these Greek mythological creatures was when I was used to watch Hercules many years ago. I thought centaurs were so cool but I still feared them; I loved how gigantic they looked in comparison to humans.

Imitation


I don't If anyone else has seen the above drawings by Lauren who has a blog entitled Brids On The Wire, but I love the detail, the way in which she has drawn them and the images themselves. The first image on the left, I assume is entitled Yokoo dots, is based "on the photo's and knits of Yokoo." The secon image on right, I assume is entitled Yokoo hats and is based on the same concept as that of Yokoo dots. Fortunately, her talent isn't going to waste as she is studying illustration just like my sister, and I can only wish I had just as much talent as either of them. 



How amazing does Arvida look?! I really like her 60s look, and her look in general. You rarely see photographers who are equally as good behind the camera as they are infront of it.

Age.



How amazing is this sketch by silk.glitter.smoke blogger??!! I was showing my sister the images, who use to draw regularly like that, and I decided to post them for you all. The first image is a photography piece by Hedi Slimane from the s/s 09 issue of Vogue Homme International, you can view more of that editorial on her blog, here.
