The Ringing Bell

Illustrator and designer Christopher Koelle was the artist behind The Ringing Bell, a  96-page book for Derek Webb’s album of the same name. This piece from that series stood out to me in particular, most definitely because of the heart. Simple. Beautiful. Awesome. You can see more of that series and other work at Christopher’s site.

Marc Quinn

I may be late to discover this, but it’s pretty amazing and I thought I would share for first time viewers like myself.

Marc Quinn is a British sculpture artist, most famous for his own sculpted portrait titled Self (1991). Self is ”a frozen sculpture of the artist’s head made from 4.5 litres (9.5 US pints) of his own blood, taken from his body over a period of 5 months.” It is kept and displayed in a refrigerated case and was sold to a US collector in 2005 for £1.5m.

“Quinn has also made a series of marble sculptures of people either born with limbs missing or who have had them amputated. This culminated in the 15 ton marble statue of Alison Lapper, a woman who was born with no arms and severely shortened legs”

The statue was on display in Trafalgar Square in London, but has since been moved.

The skull was recently displayed at London’s annual Frieze Art Fair which,
