Self-Taught Artist Discovers Incredible Painting Skills While Taking Care of His Sick Dog

Derbyshire-based painter Darren Reid creates stunning, photorealistic landscapes of serene seascapes, expansive landscapes, and bustling cityscapes. Each work, when looked at closely enough, reveals a layer of acrylic detail that heightens the painting to a hyperrealistic level. A road is not just a road, but a pointillist blend of colors (think Seurat or Pissarro) that fuse together when looked at to play tricks on the viewer’s eye. Reid has mastered a strange and awesome technique: how to take impressionist skills and turn them into reality. His paintings, often of stark country houses or gritty industrial pavements, reinvent what it means to look at the world. He shows us there is more than meets the eye at first glance. Despite his keen eye and skilled hand, Reid picked up his paintbrush later in life, as a means of distraction. In 2011, his dog became ill, which left Reid housebound much of the time. In between giving his dog insulin injections every eight hours for the next two…

Majestic Animal Illustrations Hand Drawn with Intricately Hypnotizing Patterns

UK-based artist Faye Halliday creates art that’s inspired by a combination of her travels, her attempts to inspire love, creativity, and adventure in others, and her desire to understand and capture beauty. She uses ink and intricate patterns to create elaborate portraits of animals and symbols. “I’ve always been inspired by beauty. Never on a superficial level, but more so as a concept; an interpretation and what it means to different people.”Halliday calls the journey of her art Haathi, which came about during her experience at The Elephant Festival in Jaipur, Rajasthan. For this single day of the year, elephant owners celebrate and embellish the beautiful creatures with vibrant colored scarves, headdresses, saddle cloth, and heavy jewelry while people perched atop sprinkle colored powder.

I’ve Found A Way To Make People Smile Whilst Making A Living Travelling The World

Ever since Bored Panda helped my photography style go viral last year (see my previous posts here and here), I’ve been flooded with offers to pick up my camera & paper cut-outs and head off to some incredible destinations. Over the last six months I’ve been to Singapore, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Val D’Isere, New York and Las Vegas with various tourist boards and brands. It’s been an incredible string of adventures around the world, all whilst pursuing new levels of creativity in my photos- and what’s made these last six months extra special is that people around the globe have taken an interest in what I do.
