Banksy, you rule Britannia

Banksy - the British street art phenomenon - may have lost his anonymity and with it, perhaps some of his edge, but his work still has the ability to shake me, wobble me, knock me out.



This one, below, is my all-time favourite, and is a permanent fixture on my fridge - high praise indeed!

Daniel Rozin


Daniel Rozin is my latest find. Among other things, he creates mirrors from non-reflective materials, such as wood. I think the one I like best is the snow mirror above. Check out his work at http://www.smoothware.com/danny/

Polish digital clock

This digital clock, designed by university students in Poland, took 4 years to perfect. I think it is extraordinary because it combines the immediacy of digital with the increasingly neglected art of writing by hand!
