I find these flower x-rays by Hugh Turvey quite arresting. He's been exploring x-ray techniques since 1996 and cites his fascination with 'getting underneath the surface of things,' as something that stemmed from childhood.

The level of detail that Jeff Nishinaka is able to apply to his paper sculptures is remarkable.  At first glance the sculptures really seem to have been made of something more solid like marble - when in fact, he makes them solely from paper. Nishinaka prefers to work predominantly with white paper because it casts strong shadows.  And if you ever happen to want to see the largest collection of his work, you'd have to pay a visit to his personal friend - Jackie Chan.

Caroline Andrieu, a French illustrator, is also the art director of Conde Nast digital's French Vogue & GQ websites. Her runway and portrait illustrations are incredible.

Diesel denim gallery in Aoyama in Tokyo are currently presenting 'rolls' in an installation for Japanese design studio Sinato. The rolls consist of large amounts of aluminium sheets that are then unwound in an upward fashion towards the ceiling. The installation doubles as a display space for shop merchandise. Very visually impressive.

These sculptures by artist Kevin Francis Gray have a slight macabre nature to them. His sculpture Ghost Girl adorned with pearls and stringed jewels has the appearance of crying, whilst the skulls dripping with a similar treatment in another sculpture are reminiscent of tribal voodoo dolls. His work is completely arresting and striking.

Sydney based artist Anna-Wili Highfield utilises torn paper and collage to create these beautiful animals. Pieced together with a needle and thread, they have a delicacy to them, not often associated with animals that reference taxidermy.

I really like the delicacy of ink - the difficult nature of getting it to do exactly what you want; coupled with a feeling  of success when it occasionally does. We've seen excellent examples of ink-in-action before and it's this marbling typeface by Tiana Vasiljev, inspired by a visit to a museum in Southern Vietnam - that's caught our eye for its artistic appeal.

This is not a video clip - it's a painting. If you haven't watched Kanye West's latest video 'Power' you need to watch it immediately. Directed by Marco Brambilla, depicting the kingdom at the end of its age it's shot predominantly as one sequence, from an extreme close-up of Kanye and outwards, revealing a neoclassical surrounding. Inspired by Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, it depicts a faux historical moment when the empire is on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption.

I had the good fortune of finally meeting John Pusateri last night, an artist based in New Zealand that I've kept an eye on for the last two years or so. My fascination of late with animals, taxidermy and sculpture was further reignited by looking at some of his recent work which includes a detailed study of birds. He has an exhibition coming up later in October at Seed Gallery in Newmarket, Auckland - which based on the work we've observed, will definitely be a success. Absolutely stunning work.

New Zealand designer Jamie McLellan, who we interviewed here, drew these great illustrations during his time working for prolific designer Tom Dixon in London. Above you can see a Christmas card created for Tom Dixon, Tom on holiday in Australia and 'Tom Talks Metal' which shows much of his collection along with the design process.
