This blog is really interesting, it is a friend of mine who does some really wicked work. The stuff he writes about is written in a great way and really relevant to the art industry. I have found some cool stuf on here which I have not thought about before. I will keep checking it all the time though I'm not sure how often he updates it. Not much at the moment I think. I will def be checking out his own website when he has it up and running I already know it will be full of the weird and wonderful! Definitely something to keep an eye on.

William Blake


I find William Blake really inspirational. Not only does he write amazing poetry he also illustrates them which I find really interesting. I love his songs of Innocence and Experience and am quite familiar with it having studied it during my A-levels. I particularly like the poem London as it is very modern for it's day and you can still find references from the poem in today's London. Some of his work is very sad and some very strange. I like it as it seems mysterious. Def worth a look if you like poetry or illustration.

Cheryl Cole


Cheryl Cole Love her or hate her you can not deny her rapid climb into the world of fashion and celebrity. She was once just a normal teenage girl with no stylists or hair and make-up artists she looked not so dissimilar from you or I. So how did this girl become the iconic beauty she is today? I love cheryl but haven't jumped on the band-wagon and actually liked her as soon as I saw her in pop stars! I think she has done so well and is so successful to say she is one of the lesser singers in Girls Aloud. She has come throughh racial allegations and the adultery of her world famous footballer husband yet she is more than a wag she is Cheryl Cole. She has made a name for herself and has become a credible icon for girls everywhere.

Hydropolis


Dubai is producing the world's first underwater luxury hotel. It is about 66ft below the surface and will have around 220 suites. It looks amazing and will bring new ideas to a room with a view. I think it looks amazing and would love to go and see it although i'm not sure I would like to stay in it. I am sure it is perfectly safe however I do have my reservations as everything goes up so quickly there!

Margauxlange


Creates jewellery out of Barbie and her body Parts very Weird and disturbing yet quite creative. The website is full of interesting jewellery pieces. I am quite interested to know how many people actually buy these items. I came across this whilst looking up things for my research for my EMP. I find it really interesting and have never really thought about using Barbie as a form of jewellery.

Danielle Hobbs Photography.

I found this blog by accident but I liked what I saw so looked at the Website of Danielle Hobbs. I was typing my blog into google and this named popped up instead. I am pleased about this happy accident because I really like her photography. It is very family orientated and many of the images are babies and children. Hobbs manages to capture such amazing images and they are such great innovative portraits. I love the style of her work and I will definitely be keeping an eye on what she does in the future. Something fun and quirky to look at also a great source of inspiration especially to me as I love photography and like taking great pictures.

The context of the images are very fashion and beauty in their nature. I love the fashion imagery that she uses and juxtaopposes them with different mediums. Def worth a look.
