Rainbow Delicious

Last week my eye was drawn to black and white, so I just went with it as a final monochrome moment before Spring.

And here, to bring some colour back into Sprismatic, some amazing flashes of rainbow and sparkle. The first two photographs were taken by Marilyn Minter for an assignment with M.A.C. Delicious?

"Her photographs and works often include sexuality and erotic imagery. Her method of painting involves many coatings of translucent enamel paint on metal to produce a luminous, almost hallucinatory finish. Her photographs are all taken in order to create a painting, yet sometimes she uses the photograph as is, without converting it". wikipedia
More about her work and the M.A.C. project.

Mesmerising Graphics

Wow ... you know when you get drawn in by graphics? You find yourself staring at the image ... you turn your head to the left, lean to the right ... stand on your head ... and then realise that there are words going on ... well that's how the latest offering from Information is Beautiful got me.

And, to me, these are words worth reading. They have created an interactive infrographic which will be updated as the findings change - especially handy when studies change information - in this case the values of dietry supplements.

Hooray for these people - information isn't restricted to a row of tower blocks and a pie chart any more.

A good read ... and isn't it beautiful? More Green Tea please.
