Hand Painted Ants Cover Vintage Porcelain Dishes 

German artist Evelyn Bracklow creates uniquely beautiful and unconventional porcelain dishes which are covered by hand-painted ants. Bracklow’s impressive technique resembles those of real ants, which hoard a plate of food on a summer day. The insects are meticulously crafted and well-executed.  Although her vintage designs are dainty and delicate, they also inspire fear and deep admiration. The strangely stunning composition poses a juxtaposition between intrigue and the multiple meanings of grace and beauty. You can buy her work at her Etsy shop.

Since 2011, Japanese artist Tatsuya Tanaka has been engaged in his “Miniature Calendar” — a project which has seen the art director create a pocket-sized scene of everyday life, on a daily basis. What initially started as a means of photographing his collection of diorama dolls amongst familiar settings constructed to scale, has now unfolded into a long-term venture… one that he’s not likely to stop anytime soon. Find more about the artist on the full interview on Designboom.
