Photography student Inge Jacobsen began her studies at Kingston University studying fine arts. She since switched to photography but combines continues to combine mediums in some of her works. She's intrigued by taking something commercial or mass produced and adding a handmade element to it, hence her stitched Vogue and Bazaar magazine covers and editorials.

She began with this Bazaar cover which took her two months to complete:

20 More Interpretations Of The Last Supper. New For Easter 2011.

above: beautiful photographic depiction of just the hands from The Last Supper

Since Jesus came back from the dead (according to some), so shall my post on interpretations of one of the world's most famous paintings, The Last Supper:


In 2008, I wrote a post called "The Last Supper. And the one after that. And after that. And then, even more." in which I introduced you to the most well known Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci as well as many other versions created by famous artists and photographers, like Andy Warhol and David LaChapelle.

Then, in 2010 I shared with you "The LOST Supper & Other TV Casts As The Famous Painting" which featured images from MASH to The Simpsons posed as the famous painting.

Below is a whole new slew to add to the growing collection of Last Supper homages by various photographers and artists.

Eastern Eggs. Artist (& Robot) Decorated Wooden Eggs Whose Proceeds Aid Japan.

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to the Egg-Bot, a robotic kit that, with the addition of a fine point Sharpie or similarly sized pen, will decorate Easter eggs (or anything round, cylindrical and small) with art, design, words or logos for you.



Now, that very concept is being put to good and beneficial use by TBWA London who has created Eastern Eggs, an online site/ store selling wooden eggs decorated with the Egg-bot by various artists, with a portion of the proceeds going to Red Cross - Japan Tsunami Appeal.

Eastern Eggs features your choice of 14 different eggs, each illustrated by one of the following artists: Danke Schoen, Damien Weighill, Paul Pateman, Jan Kallwejt, Kristyna Litten, Matt Lyon, Nick Purser, Shin Tanaka, Tony Riff, Yehrin Tong or Ewen Stenhouse.





The suggested donation price is £10 for the eggs, £8 of which will go to the British Red Cross to aid Japan.
