The post Check Out These Adorable Tattoos By South Korean Tattoo Artist Buoy appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Buoy is constantly amazing tattoo enthusiasts and social media users with his charming tattoo designs that feature cute and silly animals alongside other goofy characters. Some of his past designs include a frog eating a watermelon, a hedgehog riding a skateboard, and a cat looking at its reflection in a glass of water.
According to Buoy, his love for animals is the biggest source of inspiration for his designs. This is particularly the case with frogs, which are among the most demanded motifs among his clients.
“Basically, I love all kinds of animals, so I tried a lot of different types. For the frog, I love the mindless facial expression, like they have no idea what is going on. And I think a lot of my followers feel the same way!” Buoy told Bored Panda.
Buoy is based in Seoul, South Korea, but thanks to the magic of social media, his tattoos have found admirers from all over the world. Tattoo enthusiasts sometimes come to Seoul just to get inked by Buoy, while the artist himself also travels to foreign countries in order to meet the high demand. For example, he is visiting Australia in April, and all of the slots have already been booked.

]]>Frederiksen takes an unusual approach by zooming in on particular scenes and showing them out of context. This usually involves moments of high tension or ones that foreshadow future climactic happening. By doing so, the artist creates a visually appealing piece that often contains hints of dark humor.
According to Frederiksen, the high-tension moments and escalations that take place in cartoons take a back seat and are shrouded in playfulness. His goal is to make them more pronounced with his embroidery art, which he creates using a free-motion embroidery technique.
“Using familiar imagery, I like to examine fear, panic, toxic masculinity, anxiety, anticipation, and humor, all through the lens of the shared visual language of Looney Tunes cartoons,” Frederiksen explained in a recent interview with BOOOOOOOM!.
Frederiksen presented his intriguing embroidery works through solo exhibitions at The Flat in Milan, Italy, Galleri Urbane in Dallas, Texas, and the UNION Gallery in London, UK, among others. He also shares his work on social media.

]]>Infinite makes clothes using materials that you wouldn’t think could ever become clothes, including coins, keyboard keys, and spoons. Each piece is handmade by Infinite and can be worn or admired as a piece of art.
“All my pieces are handmade 1 of 1 art pieces, you can buy them to wear, or you can hang them on your wall,” says Infinite on his official website.
According to Infinite, he became interested in fashion design while looking for a pastime activity during the coronavirus pandemic. He started making clothes for himself, and his pieces quickly caught the attention of his friends, who wanted something similar.
Infinite continued to explore his interest in fashion while making his creations more daring over time. This led to creations like pants made out of 7,000 pennies, gloves covered in keys, and a jacket that consists entirely of spoons and weighs 41 pounds.
Infinite frequently documents his creative process and shares finished pieces on social media. You can check out more of his creations by scrolling below.

]]>Sometimes, these creatures have an “alien” feel to them, looking like they have traveled from another corner of the universe to visit Earth. Other times, they seem like ancient spirits who have woken up and are now roaming nature.
Hansen grew up in rural Idaho before moving to Bali, where he set up his workshop. There, he works with local artists to refine his techniques and explore new approaches to various mediums, ranging from woodcarving to metalworking.
In a recent chat with NASH AND BANKS, Hansen said that the inspiration for his art comes out of “curiosity, beginner’s mind, my childhood in rural Idaho, traveling and constantly learning and adapting”.
“But I wonder if inspiration is coming from me or through me? I mostly don’t feel a sense of ownership over what is coming through, only an appreciation for when creativity does flow,” Hansen added.
The central aspect of Hansen’s art is his commitment to a handmade approach and use of natural materials like wood, metal, bones, and plant fibers. Most of the materials that shape his sculptures are recycled or salvaged.

]]>The post Salman Khoshroo Unveils Intriguing Series of Busts Made Out of Polymer appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Khoshroo’s busts show features of the human face in an abstract way. They are formed with thick slabs of polymer, which looks like they were recklessly put together and abandoned before the work was complete.
Some of the busts are made with a single color of polymer, while others feature multiple colors joined together in seemingly random ways. However, there is nothing random about Khoshroo’s works, as each color and shape are meant to project different emotions and personalities.
“I search for materials with interesting behaviors that embody a certain kind of empathetic physical feel. This material is very gestural on its own: The pieces dance and wrestle with this sticky substance to shape it into its final human forms,” Khoshroo told Colossal in a recent interview.
Khoshroo describes himself as a self-taught artist. He started painting and making sculptures in 2009 and has since become a recognizable name in the art world. He works and lives between London, UK, and Tehran, Iran, while his works have been exhibited all over the world in recent years.

]]>Kusaite is versatile in her approach to art, having worked on projects including textile art, space design, and various forms of concept art. However, in recent years, the main focus of her creative energy has been nature and its ecosystem.
“This evolved into an interest in designing indoor and outdoor sustainable green environments, looking at the balance between local plant ecosystems and urban environments,” Kusaite explains on her website.
Kusaite’s botanical illustrations are full of intricate details and depict plants and flowers in various stages of their life cycle. This is a result of hours of research that Kusaite puts in before she starts working on an illustration in an effort to showcase the full beauty of her botanical subjects.
This adds a captivating variety to her work, which has been recognized by interior designers, book publishers, and ceramic manufacturers, among others, who use her works in their line of work. You’ll often find Kusaite’s illustrations in hotel lobbies, botanical books, and ceramic pieces like plates.

]]>The post These Oil Paintings of Patterns are Actually Portraits appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>An impressive thing about Wagstaff’s paintings is that he manages to project the portraits inside his paintings without ever breaking the pattern. Instead, he achieves the effect by using a slightly different shade or adding outlines.
In order to notice the portrait inside the pattern, the viewers need to put in some effort. This includes either observing the artwork from a distance or squinting.
“A recurring theme in my work is pattern, I am drawn to patterns that predict and perhaps defy cosmic order. When I make art I think about whether it is still possible to make images and objects that embody ideas of faith, beauty and truth,” Wagstaff explains in his artist statement.
Wagstaff received his formal education from the Royal College of Art in London, UK, and Kyoto City University of Arts in Kyoto, Japan. His pieces have been displayed in venues around the world, with some being part of a permanent collection at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. They are also extremely collectible and can be found in private collections, including the one belonging to late music legend David Bowie.

]]>The post Check Out This Cool Window Art By Tom Baker appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Baker’s artworks, done with snow spray, show Santa Claus, the Grinch, snow-covered city streets, and all sorts of other winter scenes. His pieces are full of details and perfectly capture what holidays are all about.
While you can see similar works on windows of shops and businesses around this time, Baker’s art is much more elaborate. Baker starts by covering the window with snow spray and then uses various tools to scrape it off and create an impressive image.
Baker started creating his window artwork after his wife got tired of him just placing a few spots on the windows of their house for Christmas and calling it decoration. Soon, others took notice and wanted Baker to do one for them.
Since then, Baker has been creating window art and window murals. He’s at his busiest during the holiday season but gets a lot of requests at other times of the year. The artist also offers tutorials and kits for everyone wanting to do some creative work on the windows by themselves.
