Underwater Sculptures

Jason de Caires places his sculptures underwater, letting natural organic processes (coral growth etc) become part of the artistic process. Fascinating.

Jason de Caires website.

Shops

London shopfronts. Not sure why, but I love storefronts. I could look at these all day.

Titles

Art of the Title is a website devoted to the opening title sequences from films and TV programs. I've always been a big fan of the title sequence, which often ends up being better than the movie itself.

And yes, the beautifully conceived and executed one from Se7en is included.
