Chinese contemporary street artist Liu Bolin is at it again, this time enlisting the help of Street artist Kenny Scharf who recently painted Liu Bolin into his mural on Bowery and Houston. Bolin is best known for camouflages himself into the background of paintings. “After months of planning, and with the help of Tony Goldman and everyone at the Eli Klein Gallery, we actually pulled it off,” said Marc of Wooster Collective.

On Saturday, a volcano in the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle chain of south-central Chile erupted after lying dormant for more than 50 years. The government evacuated several thousand residents as Puyehue threw ash more than 6 miles (10 km) into the sky, pushing the plume toward neighboring Argentina. Here’s a picture of a cloud of ash pouring from the Puyehue volcano.

Danish photographer Peter Funch was on hand to capture a once in a lifetime moment. Sony unleashed mass of 250,000 small, colorful bouncy balls onto the streets of San Francisco to launch their BRAVIA brand. With a team of 50 interns on hand to gather up the balls for the six takes it took in the more than four days to film the advertisement!
As LUMAS, who is selling limited edition prints states, “…This moment, with its crazy vitality, will live on in Peter Funch’s photographs. What we got to see is a child’s dream that left everyone, who managed to preserve such childhood dreams, in a great mood.”

On March 18, 1990 the largest art heist in history went down. Artwork by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Degas, and Manet estimated to be worth as much as $500 million was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Two decades and thousands of leads later (not to mention a $5 million reward), and not a single artwork has been recovered.
25-year-old Kali Ciesemier was asked to illustrate it for Boston Common Magazine. Ciesemier humorously illustrated this true story; notice the key points, like the thieves who robbed the Gardner Museum knew so little about art that they cut two of the Rembrandts out of their frames and the Mona Lisa on the back of a milk carton.
When asked why she chose to use only a few colors, she told us this. “The art director wanted a faux-retro look for the series and we both discussed Saul Bass-type images, which use a very limited color palette and geometric style. I’ve always enjoyed the look of limited color palettes and generally only use a few color families in each of my illustrations anyway, so it was an easy decision for me.”
