Mark Powell - Artist

Mark Powell is a London-based artist who, with his recent work, has chosen the back of old envelopes as a convas for these delicately rendered portraits of the elderly, using nothing more than a standard Bic Biro pen to create the delicate folds and wrinkles of their skin. I love everything about these works! Absolutely fantastic!








Seashells - Photography

I just love the collection of seashells here. It reminds me of a treasure hunt or something.



Junk - Photography

I'm still trying to figure out if this is an artwork or just random pieces of junk... I took this photo at the 2009 Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition, so that's why I'm curious. It looks more like a random junk pitt to me... what do you think?


Car Accident - Photography

When I went overseas in 2010, on about our second day there, we had a major car incident. It was terrifying! It was the first time I was ever involved in such a major crash. These photos show the impact of the crash. It was a head-on collision with a truck. Apparently, the owner of the truck had an accident a few days or weeks earlier, and the cause was because he had a faulty break. Who drives with a faulty car? Luckily we all got out of there safe and sound. My mother only injured her ankle and heel but that got repaired in the 6 weeks we stayed overseas. My uncle softly injured his neck. I don't know if it's healed or anything. Hopefully it has. That's about all that happened. Don't even ask what the police did... they are so stupid over there. Someone needs to slap them out...
