If you read this blog before you’ll know I’m a fan of Annie Leibovitz. I also happen to love Angelina Jolie for a whole lot of reasons. I’m not into the whole Louis Vuitton “brand yourself as middle class by hanging a bag that spells its label on your shoulder” kind of thing, but that’s [...]

Eggshell art, ephemeral beauty

on June 9th, 2011

Gary LeMaster is a NewZealand born, US educated linguist, with a PhD in Spanish from the University of Iowa and who speaks five or six languages and is colourblind. NOT your usual Art grad. He’s witty, articulate and funny, and his eggshell art is downright unbelievable.
