Associate Professor Nora Krug passed along the intriguing video work above as a way to inspire curiosity and creativity as the start of classes looms ever closer. Summertime is passing by and its time to refresh your imagination! This work from 1965 by Japanese graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker and painter Tadanori Yokoo is just the ticket to get those illustration juices flowing.
Work by Chelsea Nordstrom, former student in Noel Claro‘s “Beyond the Page” class was recently featured on NOTCOT and got over 2,000 hits in less than 24 hours! Her “light dependant, lazer cut perpetual calendar” can be seen above and you check out more of Chelsea’s work at her website, which you can find here.
Fantastic work, Chelsea!
Brazilian born, Connecticut based, Dalton Ghetti carefully crafts the tips of pencils into amazing micro sculptures. These miniature masterpieces are a side project for the professional carpenter, who has been perfecting this art for the last 25 years. Dalton uses a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand and lots of patience to meticulously carve the graphite which can take anywhere between a few months to a few years.
