Kimono Design

This is a traditional Japanese Kimono that dates back to the early nineteenth century. The kimono is wrapped in gold threads and features a shochikubai design. This design encompasses a combination of plum, pine and bamboo.

Money as Art

I admire how artist Justine Smith uses her works to make an anti-war statement. She uses images of grenades and war items furnished from currency, that are used to fund war efforts. On the other hand, she also shows how money can fund peace initiatives with her constrasting theme of the second work. This work is subtle art that makes a powerful statement.

Synesthesia

There are over 60 types of synesthesia that have been reported. This image represents those who associate color with different types of smells.

Money Design

This is French Polynesian currency, specifically the French Pacific Franc-sometimes known as CPF or XPF. It maintains its stability by being linked to the Euro. I love how this currency almost takes on its own art form. I almost wish that U.S. currency were more colorful. Maybe with time!

Grid

This was an image made with a tight grid using photoshop. I like how precise it is that it resembles a drawing.
