Here's a couple of pieces that probably had some people, more specifically my wife, questioning my sanity. In my defense, it was cheap and I was in Winnipeg, so I needed a little something extra to keep me powering through the week.
Nendoroid Anna and Elsa from Frozen.
Now, I'm not as big of a Disney Nerd, as it were, as I used to be. I've always enjoyed their designs (though IMHO Aladdin beats them all), and I did enjoy the once or twice I saw Frozen. The story was cute, and the designs were quite nice. Didn't quite get into Carpool Karaoke mode that many others did when the song came on the radio, and with my children being quite young, I didn't have to endure tone dea.... I mean.. charming, renditions of the songs by my daughters.
Whist in Winnipeg, a local seller had these up for $25 a pop, albeit with slight damage to the Olaf that came with Anna. Figured it was a good opportunity to get them both at once, so one rainy morning before work I met up with the seller and got the deal one.
On a side note, the Medicom Anna and Elsa are OUTSTANDING, and I would love to get my hands on those without having to pay black market organ prices.
If you haven't watched Frozen.. somehow.. then you're probably still somewhat familiar with the characters. Anna is the plucky younger sister of the Royal family, while Elsa is quite literally an Ice Queen, and lives a life like Bruce Wayne from Act One of The Dark Knight Rises.
As I've probably said before, the Nendoroid "style" lends itself to certain characters. At worst, you get a chibi version of a normal proportioned character, like with those Cosbaby release that Hot Toys puts out, but sometimes that Nendoroid magic just makes this release of the character that much more magical.
In this case, it leans more towards the magical side, though not as magically delicious as, say Kirby. The simplifed art style and cute proportions do make animated characters like Anna and Elsa somewhat more appealing that normal, but I feel that, especially in the case of Elsa, there significant loss of detailing on the outfits is to the detriment of the overall character itself.
Again, your standard Nendoroid rules regarding articulation, QC, included accessory types and so on apply here. Of the two, I'd have to give the slight advantage to Elsa with her raised eyebrow expression and much cooler ice based accessories.
Olaf.. well, he's kind of there. Nice addition, but ultimately doesn't really add a whole lot to the set IMHO because if you bought one, you probably bought both to display together.
GSC included a set of arms that allows you to link the two figures together in that pose I keep picturing Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in.
This also brings me to the weakest part of the set, as it were.. that horrible snowflake base that Elsa comes with. It's honestly like a take out container lid with a snowflake moulded in.
Obviously while not an essential part of the Nendoroid experience (I don't think I actually own any of those, to be honest), a good solid set of figures that you shouldn't hesitate on if you find them for a good price.

How will the evolving world of images change the ways of seeing and impact art, politics and society? EIKON (The International Magazine for Photography and Media Art) has been covering developments in visual arts and discussions about and around artistic image since 1991. Connecting images to reality has always been worth questioning, and this remains particularly true for the future of the image.

lately i find myself questioning who you are. what you are? why do i find myself praying to you, asking you for forgiveness? shouldn't you be asking for my forgiveness? who are you? i find it so hard to believe that there is something out there that can do this to so many people, to so many lives. to make so many people suffer over, and over, and over again is nothing short of cruelty. but yet, i still seek your forgiveness. because whatever it is i've done, is certainly coming back to haunt me. i broke a mirror when i was seven, so why am i still having my bad luck when i'm eighteen? everything should be falling together, not apart. the things i've seen, i'm not even supposed to talk about. the things i've seen, i shouldn't have seen. no one should have to. what did i do to you? can't you throw me a bone? let me catch a break? you're supposed to protect me, to be my savior. who are you?

Idea: Revisiting “Question” to add better flowers and to make the piece feel more whole
Material: A recent suit that I got with a paintbrush tool in illustrator.
Process: I recolored the suit , changed the size of the artboard and drew the additional flowers
Monday wash day!
Questioning the status of ordinary washing places, Caroline Jacob has shifted the usual location of the laundrette and will transform Mediamatic into a laundrette to present wASH. Preserving the social aspect of the laundrette, Monday Washday Laundrette is an opportunity to gather, try out wASH, as well as tell the stories emerging its creation. As an homage to the heirloom custom and the recipe embodied in the laundry detergent, visitors will be invited to wash their laundry in the space. The laundrette will open its doors every Monday and will be available for free use all day long. Visitors might become performers, clothes gesticulated, machines resonated.

This photo offers a curious view of the lamp which divides it in half, questioning the usefulness of it at all.
A narrow range of colors bore the picture to simplicity, but the bright white light of the lamp in a sea of darkness clearly separates it from the negative space.
The straight line the lamp and its reflection creates helps to divide the photo both vertically and horizontally. It also remains rigid in the frame, supplying its meaning to the scene, or at least that it holds some importance.
Again, the angle of the river supplies some sense of depth, as does the interposition of the trees and lamp, with the lamp hiding behind the trees. However, this idea is challenged by the confronting nature of the lamp as a bright figure among the dim ground.
The branches on the two trees offer diagonal lines whose intersection lies on the figure, creating graphic movement toward the figure.
Cognitively, and in a gestalt sense, the flooding river depicted challenges the necessity of the lamp, and brings to mind what pathways may lie beneath the tides. The lamp also suggests that people spend time at night here, but the water causes reconsideration of that plan. It's all a compilation of odd mixed messages.
The line of questioning by the Hong Kong media often borders on the bizarre. This is (UBS Hong Kong Open 2010 champion) Ian Poulter responding to one such question...
