superstition & (butterf)lies

Images from Damien Hirst's Superstition: series of butterfly mosaic pieces created by applying the butterflies to wet paint. Some of the most awesomely beautiful things I have ever seen. I wish I could find better pictures online (only the cream colored photos are any good), but alas, I cannot, and our scanner is broken, so the book itself (Superstition) is out of the question.

I'd die to have a skirt made out of the third detail shot.

This image has kind of haunted me for a few years due to its use in a poster for an S&M in art exhibition (which I saw at 14). I have two copies of said poster.

in stitches

I was at the Reina Sofia the other day and I saw a couple of pieces by an artist named Manuel Millares namely Pictography, Painting, 1957, and Painting 144. My dad came up behind me while I was looking at them and said, idea for tshirts? And he was totally right, the pieces I saw of canvas smeared with paint and ripped apart and then crudely stitched back together were inspiring. I can't seem to find any of the pieces I saw there online, but here are some others (unfortunately, which don't have quite the effect the others did).
