On The Sprue Art – Part 7 – Makers
Cory Doctorow’s new novel Makers features some nice “On The Sprue” artwork on the cover. It reminds me ever so slightly of the cover of The Blind Watchmaker.

Small Worlds – Part 4 – Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz
Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz are a pair of artists who express themselves through the medium of miniatures in snowglobes. Like Thomas Doyle much of their work is dark and surreal. Their work has been described as depicting the elaborate bleakness

Small Worlds – Part 3 – Thomas Doyle Snowglobes
Thomas Doyle creates snowglobes with fantastically dark and subversive themes. Take for example “Clearing” from his “Reclamations” series. In this wonderfully recursive and self-referential work, a person (ironically trapped in a snowglobe) encounters another person trapped within a smaller snowglobe and crying

On The Sprue Art – Part 6 – Entropa
The artist David Cerny has created this huge sculpture commissioned to represent the EU’s 27 member states. Each country is represented as a component of a giant plastic model kit. The piece has generated a fair amount of controversy due to

Small Worlds – Part 1 – Little People
Since I’m fascinated by miniatures as art, I thought I’d do a small series of the artists and web-sites that I’m drawn to and try to explain (mostly for my own benefit) what it is I like about the work. Here’s

On The Sprue Art – Part 3 – McFly Video
McFly’s “Room On The Third Floor” video features the band members as injection-moulded plastic people still attached to the sprue. I like everything about the video – from the realistic looking “McFly w/Roadie & Fans” box to the animated assembly

On The Sprue Art – Part 2 – Automotive Wall Art
Here’s another piece of On The Sprue Art. This one is a wall sculpture from Jellio “based on the sprue element the model parts were attached to” and which “pays tribute to the chrome-heavy hot rods of the fifties.” This

On The Sprue Art – Part 1 – The Blind Watchmaker
As a child I wondered why plastic model kits came attached to a frame at all; why they hadn’t been removed from the sprue; indeed why they didn’t arrive fully assembled. Whatever the reason, they left an impression on me and I’m still irrationally attracted
