Fouts explains both the conceptual basis of his work: "My sculptures do not have any deep meaning, they are created only to people looking at them, smile!" Nancy is digging in a drawer and closet in his apartment, finding some things out there, combining them together, giving them new meaning and function. "Everything starts with an idea, and that it manages the project," - says the US-British artist. On the question of whether she uses with Photoshop or some other means of graphic imaging, Nancy Fouts says: "I am a true artist I hate Photoshop! This is a real-life sculpture!

The Art Of Coloring Of Vintage Pictures
After the invention of photography it became clear that its main problem is lack of colors. So masters who coul colorize photos for exhibitions and print publications were found really quickly. The history of this craft, that became a high art, deserves a separate large study. Since colored photography was invented people colorize only history photos to "bring" them to a modern audience, enhance the sense of reality. In spite of all the "wonders of Photoshop" today, as before, colorizing the picture to full similarity with the color photography is almost impossible. But some virtuosos are sometimes almost succeed.
For example, Times Square, New York, 1943
I want to show the most interesting experiments on the coloring of the images presented on the historical photoblog Shorpy. 13 more images after the break...

Pictures of Bottle Caps
American artist began painting at the age of thirty years and is a self-taught. Almost ten years have seen a case, which defined the main direction of her work for years to come. Molly Bee Wright (Molly B. Right) was born in North Carolina, but in the age of six moved to Charleston in South Carolina. Live and work here so far. One day, Molly drew the attention of the rusting iron sheet. The artist decided to use it to create a picture, but as a halo for copies of the "Shroud of Turin," she decided to use the bottle caps. The idea is very pleased and the next year Molly has created several works consisting entirely of covers. On one such artist in mosaic leaves from three to seven thousand caps. The average size of works ranging from 2 to 4 square meters, and weight (with sheet iron-base) is not less than 50 kg. 26 more images after the break...

Finger and Palm Print Paintings — Zhang Baohua
In 1989 Chinese artist Zhang Baohua invented a new style of painting which requires the artist to use his finger and palm prints to create unique works of art. It’s hard to believe such masterpieces can be created without any tools, but Zhang Baohuang manages to do it by using just his fingers and palm prints. His unique painting style is characterized by a concise, lively style and a sense of reality, and is considered a combination of traditional Chinese painting and the structural features of Western painting. Most of his works depict animals, especially dogs. Zhang’s works have been featured in art galleries all around the world, and he is known as “China’s world famous palm painting artist”.09 more images after the break...
