Ericailcane, Bologna, Italy

Ericailcane is one of thoses artist which just takes away my breath*. Located in Bologna Ericailcane produces etchings, street art, animations, installations, drawings and obviously what ever else there is to do.

The style of the art work reminds me of Victorian children’s illustrations with a wimsical twist, like seeing something totally familiar combined with something unknown, uncanny and very, very strange. The capture of space in the installations is amazing, like the creatures whirling around you, invading you mental space…

Ericailcane’ website and on facebook.

Terrible Yellow Eyes, May 1, 2009 – January 1, 2010

Really sorry that I missed this!

The project called ‘Terrible Yellow Eyes’ is a collection of Illustrations and Artwork inspired by ‘Where the Wild Things Are‘ the famous picture book by Maurise Sendak. Cory Godbey a Artist and Illustrator based in South Carolina, USA, was able to gather some really astonishing  pieces from some of my favorite Artist.

Have a look at the project on the ‘Terrible Yellow Eyes’ website.

These are my favorites:

With a private boat, by Alberto Cerriteño (one of my favorite artist!).

Hanging around, by Alberto Cerriteño.

Wish You Were Here, by Nate Wragg
