sandy smith‽‽‽

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

oh yeah, this – ‽ – is the interrobang, and its awesome…

so anyway, a sandy smith isnt like a blacksmith who has rolled in the sand on a sweaty day, he is actually a scottish artist who has been doing some great stuff lately, and picking up all sorts of coverage.

his work is very reminscent of james turrell (a favourite of mine), but with a twist of the obselete, using old computer monitors to creat his colourfilled spaces. he obviously loves light, and this even shows through the splash page on his website.
