Ginou Choueiri is Lebanese artist living in Beirut. She says about her potato portraits:
"I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms. Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature."

The artwork that use a print board as a basis reminds me of moment when I was a little boy and I was looking around in the messy office of my dad. He used to have tons of those things laying around, and I was always very intrigued by the patterns and smell of the print boards.
"Few contemporary artists portray animals with the empathy of Josh Keyes. At once meticulous and fantastic, poignant and absurd, Keyes' carefully crafted drawings and paintings depict animals isolated dramatically in fragments of their natural environment, overrun with shards of man-made artifice and debris. Seemingly lost and stranded in their dreamlike stage sets, they look like characters in some existential drama written by a modern-day environmentalist Samuel Beckett."
Brilliant this guy. Absolutely love the drama and stories in these surreal pictures. Have to get his book Acid Candy (But not gonna pay € 50 for it though :-))
