A haiku a day keeps Byron sane. Sort of.

Day 17 : An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)

Previously: Day 16 : A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

I don’t really know much about art, but I follow a blog called “Today and Tomorrow”, that finds a lot of really interesting pieces of art on the internet. Two series I liked are shown below.

Stukenborg

This guy uses a printing press to create his art. However, instead of using letter tiles like a normal press, he uses the faces of dice and makes various arrangements. I think someday I’d like to purchase one of these prints (or at least make them) because it is really quite simple, and they really do look good. It’s amazing how much you can do simply with 6 different patterns. Definitely check out his store on Etsy – there is a lot of cool stuff.

This woman uses books as her medium, using the titles printed on the spines to create witty/interesting/intriguing phrases. It’s funny how we always have stacks of books on tables or in our bookshelves, and we walk by the library shelves and never really notice how the titles and words may line up.

Art, although sometimes foreign, is sometimes quite intriguing
