CyberARTS Weekly blog post #2

Artistic inspiration

          Recently I had been searching for inspiring and/or interesting websites that showcase artist's work that I thought would be notable enough for me to write my weekly blog post on, while at the same time having some kind of impact on the way I think. The website is an art gallery-styled homepage for the user to view the works of Steven Dufala and Billy Blaise Dufala- AKA the "Dufala Brothers". On the website, there are three sections of different types of art that is categorized: Sculpture, On Paper, and Projects.
The works that are displayed are all very unique- I feel as if their purpose was to make the viewer see an ordinary object from a different point of view. Seeing the works from these two brothers encouraged me to get in touch with my inner quirky side as an artist.
 Seen below is a couple of pieces that I personally picked out. In my opinion, the most interesting piece that I found on the website would be one of a project that the brothers constructed to create a large-scale army tank out of cardboard. Once it was created, it was sent out onto the streets and was shown to be a very "unique" way of transportation. In conclusion, this was a very interesting website that I came across, and I find the perspective of the artist's to be very different-as if it were a breath of fresh air.

 Below with the pictures is the link to the website, a link that shows fives "inspirational artistic websites", and the video of the cardboard tank.
