clock in a jar

Clock in a jar by Oren Hetzroni. From The Designer | “My clock in a jar was inspired by the childhood memories of capturing insects in a jar. At first glance the ticking movement of the hands of the clock attracts your eye as a flap of a butterfly’s wing. The contained clock, time ticking away enclosed in a jar, resembles the manner in which a child attempts to trap nature and contain it within his grasp”.- Oren Hetzroni {via}

cut deck art

Struan Teague has created these pieces by painting and trimming used skateboard decks. From Struan | “The inspiration for the project was the various people I’ve met whilst skating the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. Not just other skaters but all sorts of interesting characters, even people living on the streets. I thought a good way of relating these portraits to my own experiences was by painting my old decks.” Explore more about the artist at his blog.
