Wow - isn't it a real joy to see other artisits work?- work that you really love and would travel half way around the world to see. Now we can be inspired whilst sitting at home still in PJ's with a mouse in one hand, a cuppa in the other. My friend Jo Murray has sent me some fabulous links to some fabulous artists:
Alan and MJ are my heroes - what brilliant mixed media / collage works - especially at this time when my head is full of all things collage whilst completing and receiving collages for the 13th International Collage Exchange.

SHINICHI MARUYAMA
Shinichi's work is called 'Water Sculpture' - it embodies EXACTLY the essence of what I want in my life - capturing the exquisite beauty of the infinitesimal moment of what is extraordinarily ordinary.......am I making sense? It seems to be a particular aesthetic of Asian [especially Japanese] art that we in the West struggle to achieve.

Wonderful images to start my Sunday. We are indeed so lucky to have access to the work of so many exciting artists. Shinichi Maruyama is a new artist for me. Love Alan Bates work!
