Painter, sculptor and maker of extraordinary hypnotic wind sculptures Anthony Howe invites the nice people at Creator’s Project into his workshop to discuss art, computer design, alien creatures and the challenge of getting a piece of metal to spin at one knot in a fifty knot wind.
Of this rather apt application of his considerable talent, London-based artist and miniaturist Slinkachu sez:
I’ve just got back from Paris where I was helping to promote ReAct Paris, a conference organised by the European Parliament to tackle the problems of unemployment in Europe, particularly youth unemployment, which in some parts of Europe stand close to a miserable 30%.

A new, trippy animation by Jake Fried, who uses layers of ink, gouache, white-out fluid and coffee to build up subsequent scenes one on top of the last.
By the end, his canvasses often end up an inch thick with layered material.

Model maker and photographer Michael Paul Smith has an extensive collection of detailed die-cast model cars and a keen eye for forced perspective.
For the last 25 years, Smith has been honing his craft, setting up miniature vehicle dioramas (mostly against real-world backdrops) to create atmospheric and super-realistic vistas from a fictional town he calls Elgin Park.
The photographer explains his process in an interview with Fstoppers.
