Graphical food

We all eat at least three times a day, some of us eat all day long.
We eat for pleasure with out friends.
We eat because we are feeling sad.
We eat because where bored.

It seems like food is an perfect inspiration that everybody appeals.

Embroidery old-fashioned?

Embroidery is an old avocation, something your grandmother does.
Nowadays we make almost everything on our computer it's fast and easy. But old habits always come back.
A lot of artists are knitting and stitching, Inge Jacobsen is one of them.

The work she is currently making is an intervention into found images through embroidery, cutting and collaging. The images she uses are from high fashion magazines.

Children's attention?

A subject I’m not familiar with. But I can imagine how much patience you must have. You have to do a lot of crazy things to get their attention. Or you just give them sweeets.

Jill Greenberg used the opposite to make these beautiful pictures. Her method for getting the children to cry is to offering the children candy and then taking it away.




organize your daily shopping

Everyday you go to the supermarket to do your daily shopping, but nowadays it has to go as quickly as possible. You don’t have to go to the baker’s, butcher’s and the chemist’s anymore, you’ve got it all in one.

If you want to spend more time on your daily shopping and make it a whole new experience you can do it just like the Artists Marco Ugolini & Pedro Motta.

Their reason to do this is because they see the supermarket as a space of manipulation. None of the products have been bought after the shooting.
