I hope I will not come across as sexist but ink on girls does work for me.
Ok these girls below as most probably as beautiful as their tattoos, I’ll give you that. Damn there is a car on that pic and a half naked girl, that’s it I’ll be called ‘sexist’ but on a pure aesthetic point of view, I think this is stunning.
What do you think?

No need to remind anyone about what just happened in France, the country where I was born. No need either for me here to go into any political debate as this site only celebrates the creativity out there and we’ll keep that way.
I just wanted to share some of the cartoons that emerged following the events which once again demonstrates again the power of creativity and the mighty effect that pencils, brushes or pens can convey.
This is for you the families of all the victims, these are for whoever got affected by what just unfold.

While British street artist Moose just created a pretty incredible Christmas scene with only a toothbrush and moss (!) on South Bank wall Moose – see more of Moose aka Paul Curtis Christmas scene, there are many holiday themed street and graffiti artist creations.
Scouring outdoors and the web, ten recent and some less so graffiti or street art Christmas-related awesomeness caught our little eyes, see below.

You may have heard about light painting, if not, here are a few words about it – Light painting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera. Light painting can also describe works where the camera itself is moved during exposure.
Painting with a point of light on a long exposure dates back to 1889, and was used in Frank Gilbreth’s work with his wife Lillian Moller Gilbreth in 1914, when the pair used small lights and the open shutter of a camera to track the motion of manufacturing and clerical workers. Man Ray, in his 1935 series “Space Writing,” was the first known art photographer to use the technique. Photographer Barbara Morgan began making light paintings in 1940.
Loads of artists or people from the general public have since tried to master the technique, and keep innovating with genius ideas. People like Stephen Orlando and his projects Motion Exposure are one of these enthusiasts. The concept is to give the viewer a materialisation of human movements and gestures in sports, such as movements of tennis, kayaking or even karate.
The result is beautiful, gracious, and intoxicating. We included the 10 best light painting outputs we felt deserved sharing.
A few words from the artists –
I’m fascinated with capturing motion through time and space into a single photograph. Using LED lights with custom color patterns and long exposure photography, I’m able to tell the story of movement.
This technique reveals beautiful light trails created by paths of familiar objects. These light trails have not been artificially created with Photoshop, and they represent the actual paths of the objects.
My photos focus on motions in nature and in urban landscapes, as well as human movement. I am inspired by the works of Étienne-Jules Marey, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Gjon Mili, and Frank Gilbreth and their pioneering techniques.
