A beautiful artist has passed away...

One of my favorite woodworkers, Sam Maloof, passed away this last Thursday.


He made the most beautiful pieces of art out of wood. Below is one of his most famous creations.


He will be missed...

Very Cool Underwater Scupltures

This short film shows the early stages of coral regeneration on Jason deCaires Taylor underwater sculptures in Moiliniere Bay, Grenada. The UK-based artist is also working on the world’s largest underwater sculpture park, which is being developed off Cancun, Mexico. His sculptures offer aesthetic and artistic pleasure for divers and snorkellers, as well as perfect surfaces for young coral polyps to attach themselves and set up home. You can find out more about his unique work and maybe even contribute to one of his sculptures by going to: http://www.underwatersculpture.com/
