Sophie Stubbs - Collages
By Stoffb, September 30th, 2009
Various collages made of celebrities by Sophie Stubbs, a postgraduate Fine Art student from Glasgow University. Sophie’s collage section “people” is quite funny and I like how she mixes the shape of the lips and the nose. The amusing and entertaining aspect was to spend some time trying to find out which people were hidding behind these collages. I’m not quite sure but from top to bottom I would have said: Lily Allen, Megan Fox?? (tricky with just the eyes to recognise) and Paris Hilton. What do you think? Sophie, if you ever read this post would you be able to give us the answer?
Although the people section is interesting, the abstract section is a bit too abstract in my view but I guess it never hurts to explore different horizons.

Chris Fleming - Illustrations
By Stoffb, September 28th, 2009
Categories: Albums covers, Illustration
I ran through my old CDs the other day and found Infinity Land by Biffy Clyro which I quite like (although their first album is by far the best but it’s not really the point here) and hadn’t listen to in ages. Whilst listening to it, I looked at the album cover that I’ve always found strangely and scarily attractive. I remember I had a massive poster of the CD cover in my house when I was a student and it was the “masterpiece” of our shared living room at the time. Anyway, I tried to find out a bit more about Chris Fleming, the artist behind the cover. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to find much more than what seems to be an old student portfolio still hosted on Glasgow University website. Chris’s illustrations that are up there are really interesting though. I dont know if he’s still doing illustration nowadays or if he adopted a pseudo but I can’t find more about him. I would really appreciate any input if you’ve ever heard about him or his work… Thanks

James Houston covers Radiohead
By Stoffb, June 23rd, 2009

This video is around a year old now but for those who saw it a year ago I’m pretty sure it still gives you goosebumps… Excellent tune by Radiohead covered with genius by a graduate of Glasgow School of Art James Houston. I’ve seen something similar made with just a scanner sometimes ago but it wasn’t anywhere close to this amazing masterpiece using an old scanner, a printer, a few old hard drives and a ZX spectrum. James’ work received over a million online views and apparently he even got the acclaim of Thom Yorke himself. He also got offered a record deal even though he’s not a musician. Brilliant!!!
