The Coolest Light Sculptures

The Coolist’s obsession with light-borne art continues, this time with the industrial-inspired light sculptures of Iván Navarro.  This Chilean artist has created a series of sculptures using fluorescent lights, mirrors and little else.  His human forms are amongst our favorites, but the reflective works have an infinite character to them, where color and text fade into nothing in a mirrored distance.  Navarro’s works are for sale on Art Net, including many of the works shown in the gallery below.  If you like light art as much as we do, you absolutely cannot miss our feature on light graffiti.  In the mean time, more Iván Navarro after the jump.

Horrible Twilight Fan Art

With the big premiere this week of Twilight: Eclipse, we started noticing more and more Twilight fan activity out on the Web the past few weeks (check out the various Twilight trailers). There is no doubt that Twilight has some serious fans out there. Unfortunately, being a serious fan doesn’t necessarily mean that you should attempt to be a serious artist.
