Tire Sculptures

Designer: Various
Here is a small collection of amazing tire sculptures created from old and recycled automobile tires. The texture and color of a tire seems to create a sense of remarkable intimidation. Nevertheless, tires are being used to create some fantastic works of art.

There’s No Point In…

Designer: Jan Maarten Voskuil
“There’s No Point In…” is a series of paintings done by artist Jan Maarten Voskuil, and needless to say, they’re so clean that I can’t help but want on my wall. The minimalism in shape and color is fantastic but it is the architecture created, the form that is sculpted in these paintings that really make them most intriguing.

Bad Ass Creatures

Designer: Josh Finkle
I am personally excited to feature industrial designer Josh Finkle and his new series ‘Extinct Toys’ because not only are the toys themselves beautifully crafted but the packaging they are packed in illustrate the creation of the creature itself. Josh Finkle is an amazing illustrator, and has been from a young age. Josh’s love for design has carried over into university study at Carnegie Mellon where he currently is a student. Lastly, I must mention…I graduated high school with Josh and have known him for years now. His work has always been pleasing to look at!
