This piece by Pavel Platonov is really quirky, I love using materials for things they weren't intended for, and the idea of using a build your own dinosaur (assembled incorrectly) as a mask is so intriguing. I think this puts an object/objects you wouldn't think twice about in a different context, and shows that any household object could be a piece of art depending on how it is used.

Today I've been commissioned to make business cards for Confection Fairy. I really love the idea of taking average items such as Jaffa Cakes, and making them in your very own way, or 10 times bigger!

I'm not someone who likes to do things simply, so... I went all hip hop and decided to do some break dancing in the front room. No - I've never done break dancing before, and the most complicated move I busted was a forward roll, but I thought these snaps were pretty cool!
I took photos from different angles to show that my fabulous dancing was taking me all around the room. I particularly like the way that on some pictures, parts of my body are blurred, which helps you imagine me actually pulling off the move! I even wore a Will Smith T-shirt, some heavy bling and a sideways cap to fit with my whole 'hip hop' image. That is dedication.

I came across an artist called Joseph Griffith who created his own 'drawing machine' to rotate coloured pens against a wall. I really love this idea because it enables viewers to interact with the piece and add to the structure, and I love how perfect the circle looks even though there is such a huge build up of different lines.
Picasso's light drawing is absolutely genius. I am amazed that in 1949 he was able to find and use such an experimental technique for drawing. I love how abstract this piece is, and although it only vaguely looks like a person, it is still incredible that Picasso was able to create an image like this using only light and a camera.
Yinka Shonibare's work is spectacular. I love the use of bold African fabrics on such a traditional Victorian dress. I think that it shows the crossover between different cultures as well as different eras. This is really quite witty, as the fabric, the dress and the pugs are not things you'd expect to see together, creating a really fascinating and amusing piece.
