The Sayama Forest was the inspiration for Totoro. The bad news is that it is under thread for development.The good news is that over 200 of the top international artists from print to animation are donating artwork for the cause. You, too, can help by donating. Besides, the site contains a wonderful gallery of works that have already been donated.

Emma Hack utilizes body and background painting to create beautiful photographs that have been described as “beautifully crisp, vibrant, living three dimensional wallpaper designs.” I must say they are stimulating.

This has to be one of the more interesting ways I’ve seen Legos used in a serious yet humorous effect.

This work was done in Bocchignano, Italy, a village close to Rome, as part of the group project “20 Eventi”. The group of artists developed projects for 4 villages of the Sabina region and decided to create a compilation of drawings, for collectors to purchase, and to support this project.
