Artist Luka Klikovac “Demersal” series of photos

The collection of the latest photos of the young artist Luka Klikovac represents an exiting and creative play of colored fluids. Through his camera lens he reveals realistic and tangible space where wondrous motions of strange forms occur, thereby creating psychedelic effects. The author is fascinated with the diversity of surreal depths and spaces created by unpredictable laws of motion of colored fluids. His imagination, artistic sensibility and knowingly caused “randomness” in a glass of water, lead viewers to an endless adventure, full of surreal and timeless scenes. When experimenting with light Luka Klikovac creates an illusion of the polar illumination that springs out from hidden fountains. Various hints and implies occur in the eyes of the beholder - materialized visions of the distant galaxies, stardust and miraculous fluorescent life forms of the Jules Vernes’ ocean depths, as well as images of brightly colored organic elements.

Artist Shinichi Maruyama has established a name for himself by capturing paint in it’s “live” essence.  The artist paints by tossing the ink and water in in various patterns, where they are then captured by the camera lens.  What we are left with is a beautiful moment where paint and time collide.  Visit his site for more info here:  http://www.shinichimaruyama.com/ 

This is pretty neat, a real version of photoshop.

Makeup Effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick known for his work on Pirates of the Caribbean decided it would be fun to tackle MTV’s infamous Beavis and Butt-Head.  The results are frighteningly realistic.
