Tada! This week’s Artful Friday comes with a colourful bang. Embrace yourselves for the vibrant storm of Brendan Smith. This week the weather has been a little bit moody – sun for one hour, rain for 2 hours, wind for 4 hours and back to the beginning – so, a big dose of cheerful art […]

hyper-realistic paintings by Luciano Ventrone

As per usual my Google reader is puking posts from all […]
