Portrait of Diego Rivera, acrylic paint carved into phone book by Alex Queral.
This portrait of one of my favorite artists (Mexican painter Diego Rivera) by artist Alex Queral just made my day. Queral lives and works in Philadelphia. He’s been carving portraits out of phone books for 14 years. If that’s not inspiring to you, you sir/ma’am might be dead.
More on Queral here. Large gallery of Queral’s phone book art here.
Mini-portrait of the First Family by William Wigan. For G.
It takes Birmingham born mini-artist William Wigan about three months to complete his mini sculptures. Many of Wigan’s creations are as small as a single blood-cell. If you’re in London, you can check out Wigan’s works with the aid of a microscope at the My Little Eye Gallery.
Wigan and his microscopic creations are currently making stops at galleries and museums in Chicago, Houston and Washington, D.C. A new bio on Wigan, I Spy With My Little Eye, will be released this coming Thursday, October 1st.

If boozing was an olympic event, we would be on a box of Wheaties. If this all sounds familiar to you (and your mother), welcome home.
