Enclosed

"Enclosed" was created by the artist Purplecactus from Marburg, Germany.

This is a truly beautiful piece. Great colours, and an interesting contrast between the foreground and the background. Everything seems to go well together and it captures the imagination.

This work would look great on the wall in a home; perhaps a home with a light red wall.
This work is currently available on redbubble as a Matted print, Laminated Print, Mounted Print, Canvas Print, Framed Print, and Poster.
For those who are not interested in wall hangings, you can purchase the print as a greeting card instead.

(please note, availability is correct at the time of writing this post).

Purplecactus has other excellent artwork in his redbubble portfolio, and so it is well worth checking out!

Purplecactus also has a Zazzle store, a twitter account, a blog and a facebook page.

True love through time and space

"True love through time and space" was created by the artist Nana Leonti. There are a lot of really good pieces in her portfolio, among them are some interesting angry birds characters that should please a view fans!

This piece stood out to me as it is a great concept. Having watched the last Doctor Who episode, this image reminded me of the plot line of that episode. And, may I hasten to add, that I'm a fan of the modern series.

This artwork is sold via redbubble as a sticker and as a T-shirt.

Nana Leonti has an extensive portfolio on both redbubble and DeviantARt. She can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

Power

"Power" was created by the artist Scott Ferman from Colorado Springs, United States. It was a real struggle to choose one of his pieces to feature in Digital Art as there are many amazing works of art in his portfolio.

I decided to feature Power as it really strikes me. its got a good blend of colour, designed to make an impact on the eyes. I really felt drawn to the centre, and was totally captivated.

Truly a powerful work of art.....

Please support the artist by checking out Power via his redbubble portfolio. Also, you'd be missing out if you don't view his other artwork in redbubble.

Despair Chair

"Despair chair (5)" was created by the artist Michelle Willsmore from Mount Barker, Australia.

I really like this chair......
in fact I like the concept that the artist implements here. The shot was of an artist's manikin sitting in a chair shaped mobile phone cradle...... and, get this! it was taken with a nokia N8-00 mobile phone!

Post processing involved a conversion to black and white with adjustments to contrast and brightness.

Absolutely love this. The artist has made a series of shots involving this process, so its well worth a look. This is my particularly favourite shot.

Please support this artist by checking out Despair chair via their redbubble portfolio.

Yesterday's trees

Meet the latest artwork to feature on my blog's wall! I love this photograph.... it's not everyday that I feature photography on my blog, but this definitely deserves to be featured.

Yesterday's trees was photographed by the artist Wendy J. St. Christopher from Texas, USA. Photographed at Garner State Park, Texas.

The photograph really appeals to me... I love the country, and I would love to lose myself out there in the fields and woods. Coming from me, being born and raised in a City like London, I know that's not something I can do very often, but this photograph at least reminds me of the country and it's beauty.

Please check out Yesterday's trees via redbubble as well as the artist's redbubble portfolio for more of her talented artwork.

Also, Wendy maintains a blog where she provides further insight into her art which is well worth a read!
By the way, More information about Yesterday's trees can be gathered from Wendy's blog as she discusses the day she captured it.

Ruins

Ruins was created by the artist Justin Minns from Colchester, United Kingdom. I was honored to have been given permission by the artist to feature this work in my blog as, looking over his portfolio, he is a very talented photographer.

Ruins appeals to me for several reasons. First, as I've mentioned previously on this blog, I really like the sea-side and the sea in general. Second, I love history. Third, I love sunsets and sunrises. This piece has all three!

Please support this artist by checking out Ruins here as well as his redbubble portfolio and website. He also maintains a facebook page.

The Number 11

As I'm sure that i've mentioned many times by now, I'm really interested in History and transportation, and I live in London. So it really shouldn't be any surprise to any of my readers why I decided to feature 'the Number 11.'

The Number 11 bus route in London was one of the routes to withdraw the popular iconic London Routemaster bus from regular passenger service, the last operating day for these buses being October 31st, 2003. The rest of the fleet were withdrawn in 2005.

Now, save for two heritage routes in Central London (The Number nine and Number 15), the entire fleet of routemasters were replaced by modern buses (in my opinion, there's really nothing special about the modern replacements except for the bendy buses....... they're just all the same with no spark!).

This particular routemaster bus is even more special than the others as it hasn't been refurbished with the rest back in 1990 (that's a story for another post -- stay tuned!).
The 1990 refurbishment was of the interior, leaving the outside exactly the same as when the fleet was launched in the 1960's.

This was rendered in HDR tone-mapping using photomatix, 3 exposures from a single jpeg file and post-processed using GIMP.
I lowered the saturation a little to make it a little more realistic after the HDR treatment while preserving the details and reflections of a tone-mapped image (as best I could!).
Afterwards, I sharpened the image to further increase the details and lines of the image.

Let me know what you think of the routemaster!........

By the way, If you liked this short summary about the routemaster in London, you'll love reading my other blog, Through the eyes of a Londoner! where I discuss the City and the things inside it in greater detail!

Until next time...
