Damien Hirst UK Flag @ 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony

I only watched a little bit of last night's closing ceremony, but was really impressed with the whole stage layout, including this Union Jack flag.

Glow-in-the-Dark Skatepark in Brussels, Belgium

This looks nuts!

Designed by Korean artist Koo Jeong-A, OTRO (the name of the park) was built from green, phosphorescent concrete which glows at night.

Damien Hirst x Supreme Signed Skate Decks

Here's something for all the skaters out there...I don't skate myself, however I'd be tempted to cop one of these (if I had the funds) to put on display in the house somewhere; they're sick!

Damien Hirst’s 2009 collaborative skate decks with Supreme will be released by Other Criteria on Thursday, July 12 via its London location.

Only 40 signed pieces will be available, each featuring a unique drawing. Additionally, the decks will be sold in limited quantities via Other Criteria's online store on July 14 at 10am GMT.

Giant Hot Wheels Sculpture (Video)

This is nuts.

Chris Burden turns a bunch of Hot Wheel toys into kinetic art, entitled "Metropolis II," which features over 1,000 cars...

R.I.P. Tony Hart

R.I.P. Tony Hart, who passed away earlier today. I remember watching "Hartbeat" as a kid; It was one of the illest shows.

I never ever got round to submitting anything to "The Gallery" though (a section where Tony would show other kids' artwork which were sent in)...Mainly because my drawing skills aren't the best the best in world. But I digress..

He also created the iconic plasticine character Morph, who became a regular fixture on his shows.



Shout to Tony Hart for inspiring many generations of kids to get into art.

"Springfield Punx" Simpsons by Dean Fraser

"The Simpsons" is literally the greatest cartoon of all time. It's constant satire of current events and popular culture is cleverly done, and is one of the reasons why I've been watching it since it first came on Sky over here in the UK. To be featured in/on The Simpsons (aka to be simpsonized) is probably the greatest thing that anyone could wish for in my books. Probably more amazing than having your own Hollyood pavement star. The amount of actors, musicians and politicians who have featured easily rolls into the hundreds.

Artist Dean Fraser takes it one step further to apply The Simpsons theme over many notable pop-icons from the comic book world as well as the real-world entertainment personalities. Throughout October, he’s been releasing a steady stream of one Marvel character per day which can be seen at Springfield Punx. Other artwork includes Back To The Future, He-Man, the Dark Knight characters, as well as characters from the 60's Batman Show!
