Camouflage by Liu Bolin – Invisible Man Series

Body Part Bread – Sold at a bakery in Thailand
Artist Kittiwat Unarrom‘s father owns a bakery in Ratchaburi. To attract attention for the business he creates some of the world’s more unusual breads! All of Kittiwat’s creations are of human parts of the body in various stages of, shall we say, disrepair! The results are unnervingly realistic with eyes, lips and other details constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes make the work all the more creepy.
Sold at his family’s bakery, Thailand, he displays the parts wrapped like food in plastic and hung from meat hooks. Apparently, the art is in fact edible and tastes like regular bread.
Kittiwat says that the bread heads are not designed for human consumption, but mainly to place in the window of the bakery to attract attention. The shop is in a small town in Thailand about 65 miles east of Bangcock.
It’s not just head. You can buy a wide assortment of parts to, we suppose, temporarily decorate your home.
Eeewwww. I’m not even sure Tony Montana would enjoy a loaf of theis bread.

Creative X-Ray photo artwork by Veasey
“We live in a world obsessed with image. What we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars… I like to conter this obsession with superficial appearance by stripping back the layers and showing what it is like under the surface Often the integral beauty adds intrigue to the familiar. We all make assumptions based on the external visual aspects of what surrounds us and we are attracted to people and forms that are aesthetically pleasing. I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising, inner beauty.”
The Artist – Nick Veasey
These are his composite photographs (as known as: artwork) using a combination of X-rays, back scatter, visible light photographs, and hand-drawn parts, combined together to look very interesting.

Creative art of Jeffrey Batchelor
Artist Jeffrey Batchelor definitely deserves a lot of attention having displayed the richness of his talent with his oil on canvas paintings. He demonstrates an interesting approach to the scenes he paints, creating a very magical and fun effects.
Conceptually, his work ranges from straight realism to surrealism, and from rectangular canvases to shaped canvas panels. Thanks to his extensive training in theatrical scenic construction. Often working with magnifiers, he delineate and define the myriad of reflections and refractions that exist within thick blown and cut crystal – realism for realism’s sake.
When realism becomes too constraining for him, he likes to reach into surrealism, to take an idea or a concept and develop it with a magical flavor. This allows him to elicit the viewer’s thought processes and visually define a concept, idea, or feeling. When a rectangle becomes constraining, he creates shaped panels that he paints in trompe-l’oiel fashion. This gives him endless possibilities for shape and depth illusions, as you will be able to observe here. These paintings and many more can be found on Jeffrey Batchelor official website! Enjoy…
The Girl in the Window
This is yet another painting inspired by the most famous painting in the world and perhaps the most influential artist of all time… “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci. It is artists hope that the viewer will forgive the pretentiousness of using such a masterpiece and appreciate his unique vision and execution.
