Cultura Inquieta

Hundreds of pills for any occasion or problem by Canadian artist Dana Wyse. Our favorites include understand contemporary art, remember where you left your keys, remember your first blow job, enhance your man's cunnilingus skills, and make your cat sing like Celine Dion.

Mike Stilkey, aka “the man who paints on books” is an artist from Los Angeles who has always been attracted to painting and drawing not only on vintage paper, record covers and book pages, but on the books themselves.

With the help of paint, colored pencils, ink and lacquer, Mike manages to create interesting artful scenes which complement the books’  story lines. His works are usually based on unusual characters inspired by fairy tales and fiction writings. We dedicate a post to this original artist, because we like a lot the originality of this painting-on-books idea and we consider his projects something that most of us would like to have in our living room bookcases. However, in the case of the mosaic paintings (last three photos) we do not know if it is possible to read the books after the artwork is finished!

"Live Free or Die". Check out these brilliant “message-a-gami” pieces by artist, Dan Tague. In this case, money really does talk.

We want to show you a creative way to use your dollar bills – it’s similar to origami, the Japanese traditional paper craft, but with a little twist. New Orleans-based artist Dan Tague folds a dollar bill as many as 100 times, until it spells out an unexpected phrase, including “We Need A Revolution” and “Trust No One.” He photographs the origami currency on a black background and prints the photos in large format (large enough that the Treasury Department can’t accuse him of counterfeiting). Tague’s themes are protest, American history and, of course, money.
