Pinkyvision
British artist Pinky is known for his psychedelic style, distinctive use of color and iconic graphics. Under his brand Pinkyvison he has created a wide range of products, papercuts and prints. His beautiful murals have adorned many bare walls and his work has been exhibited worldwide including London, Berlin, Seattle, Manchester and Amsterdam.
Pinky's unique work is generally the explosion of colors, abstract patterns, funky shapes and owls! "The icons I use come from the need to tell stories and narratives. Simple but powerful messages can be told with the Skull, the Owl, The Apple, The Pyramid, The Eye, Heads. The abstract work is a contrast to that… hopefully letting people see the wonder in the random, the chaos, the patterns and colours of life."
He has also worked in collaboration with Dior, Maharishi, Darth Vadar, MTV and the BBC. Visit his website - Pinkyvision to learn more about him and his work.

Owl Cookie made with Tulip Cookie Cutter
Callye of Sweet Sugar Belle is a super talented artist who loves to bake and is "obsessed with decorating cookies". She has an amazing blog full of useful tips on decorating cookies and easy picture tutorials.
While I was browsing through jaw-dropping, edible masterpieces on her blog, I came across these owl cookies. I love them! But what I love more is that these the very creative Callye created these owl cookies using tulip and heart cookie cutter, not the owl shaped cookie cutter. I am amazed that she saw an owl in those cutters. You can get your own tulip and heart cookie cutters and play!

Dinh Truong Giang: Origami
owls
polar bear
red fox
hippo
Dinh Truong Giang is a very talented Origami artist born in Hue, Vietnam and moved to USA to study architecture. Currently living in Virginia, he creates these wonderful animal paper sculptures using wet fold origami technique. It's a Japanese paper folding art which requires thick paper to be dampened before it's folded into a model. This process results in soft and gentle curve lines, and provides strength and flexibility to the finished piece.
