| [1] | Brandon Bird This artist has an entire body of work inspired by the television series "Law and Order." Enough said. |
|
| [2] | Orlan Photographer, videographer, sculptor, and installation artist, Orlan is undoubtably best known for her surgical performance art acts, wherein she undergoes plastic surgery to adhere to, rebel against, and above all reveal the impossible standards of beauty placed upon women the world over. |
|
| [3] | Body Art Your body is a canvas. A weird one, in fact. Check out the intern's personal recommendation: a page on "hand puppets." |
|
| [4] | Jennifer Maestre Using an unusual material to reconstruct an everyday object is always a genius move. Check out Maestre's pencil and nail sculptures. |
|
| [5] | Smile Shop In the great debate over what is to be considered art, and what isn't, teeth decor win the art classification in my book. |
|
| [6] | Nikki S. Lee A Korean American, Nikki S. Lee seems to have been a keen observer of various ethnic group and subcultures for quite some time. Ms. Lee has produced a series of photographic projects exploring just what it means to "fit in" to a particular group. |

| [7] | Arbor Smith A site filled with pretty amazing tree sculptures--you can also find instructions for how to grow your own tree fence or tree chair. |
|

|
| [9] | 0100101110101101 Small, hilarious, cartoon figurine art. (And something else called synthetic performance...) |
|
| [10] | Frances Trombly Frances Trombly painstakenly recreates everyday objects such as crumpled pieces of paper and garden hoses through surprisingly deceptive processes: "weaving, embroidery, cross stitch, and crochet." By using these traditionally feminine arts, Trombly asks the viewer to consider the value of these objects, and the work that goes into creating them.. |
|
| [11] | Toast Art Yep, that's art created with (or on) toast. |
|
| [12] | Travis Pendlebury Travis Pendlebury's quirky illustrations of emaciated monsters with swords and cauldrons are reminiscent of art of the Middle Ages. |
|
| [13] | Andy Goldsworthy Anyone unfamiliar with Andy Goldsworthy's work should be sure to stop by this site for a glimpse of the type of art he creates: exquisitely crafted, outdoor temporal works inspired by the very environments in which they were created. His documentary film, Rivers and Tides, is also worth checking out. |
