Juji the Big White Dog

Here is a neat example of photoshop and perspective, as well as the incredible healing power of animals and relationships.

 

"Photographer Christopher Cline and his Goldendoodle Juji (pronounced Joo-ji) are a match made in Photoshop heaven. After moving from Virginia to Minnesota a few years ago, the artist was feeling homesick and "sliding into a sad place in life." Then, his girlfriend Christine brought home Juji. "I wasn't exactly open to getting a dog," Cline told Mrs. Sizzle, "but I immediately fell in love with him. He has turned my life completely around and we are now absolutely inseparable. I have found a new outlook on life and in my artwork and I owe it all to him."

After Juji came into his life, Cline began expressing himself through Photoshop. He'd take photos of himself and Juji and later alter them to make it look as though his canine pal was a giant. "I just wanted to share a little of our adventures together," Cline explains, adding that he wants his edits to have a "kids’ book feel." Whether they're lounging on the couch or taking on outdoor adventures, both Juji and his human seem to have a ton of fun together—no matter what their size!"

Towering Cardboard Installation

"The Fallas festival took place in Valencia earlier this year and visitors were treated to an impressive installation called Ekklesia by the socially-minded artist collective Pink Intruder. The towering piece features metallic-colored cardboard tubes that sit atop a mosaic design of 96,000 wooden pieces. The colorful mosaic pieces were based on the designs of Nolla Mosaic, a traditional Valencian ceramic that was lost in the mid-20th century. As for the piece's name (Ekklesia), it dates back to ancient Greece, and refers to a political assembly of its citizens. Like its title, Pink Intruder’s creation represented a temple where citizens could meet, debate, and discuss ideas.

Viewers could easily enter and exit the sculpture, and its columns were screen printed with relevant political messages in an attempt to generate a dialogue among the visitors. This particular version also provided a platform for the giant cardboard structure. Those who walked inside could stand on the stage, look straight up, and see the fantastic, complex structure with an ornately-cut drop ceiling.

Ekklesia was not meant to be a permanent fixture in the city. As is tradition with the Fallas festival, the end was marked by burning the piece and welcoming the arrival of spring." mymodernmet

This incredible art work, Flight to Baku, was created by Rashad Alakbarov.

He crafted coloured plexiglass airplanes and hung them from the ceiling so that when light passes through them it creates a beautiful image on the wall of the gallery.

'The concrete world of buildings and architecture are transformed by the photographer's eye into swooping abstractions, playful scenes, moments of pure visual pleasure.'
