Japanese deviant art

These are “erotic” (but SFW) art by a 25-year-old fine arts graduate from Japan. The playful subjects are deceptively cute.

From Boing Boing:

Sketch an object in the air, and watch it take form.

Imagine the possibilities, with these tools in the hands of Picasso, for example.

Quickie?

Not what you think.

It must be one of those days: just finished another exam — part of a winding-down (I hope) battery of fitness tests here in the workplace — and I barely passed (yay!); caught in the middle of a Debian netinst (heh, they only have the Sarge netinst ISO around here); doing a yum update (Fedora Core 3! How ancient.) on one of my boxes; and, oh, just watched X-Men III: The Last Stand (you know, I have a feeling this isn’t the last of the X-Men franchise {prolly because of that snippet of a scene at the ending? [oops! spoiler alert!]}) with my teammates — it was funny: we didn’t get to reserve seats beforehand so we took the queue and we got seats all right, a freaking column of seats (8C, 9C, 10C, you get the drift…)! — and I must say, take that, Puso ng Samar something!

Whew. Before I leave for home, here’s an interesting piece:

'Your pockets, they are so deep...'
Just a sneaky of Fernando Escora’s work over at Hiraya Gallery.

Yes, but is it art?

Apparently, a 12-year-old boy didn’t think so.

The boy (who wouldn’t stand a rat’s chance in Singapore) stuck gum on a $1.5-million abstract painting on exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The gum left a stain on the “The Bay” by Helen Frankenthaler. Curators and restoration experts are still researching the chemical composition of the gum to decide which solvent to use.

The painting, not the gum.

The painting — though it’s purity has been stained (heh, just had to say that, sorry) — is “going to be fine,” museum authorities said.

The boy, meanwhile, is probably off to MOMA or the Louvre, after being suspended from school. He’s got a promising career ahead of him. via Boing Boing.
