Looking Into the Past - 9/11

Flickr Member Jason Powell has done a project called Looking Into the Past: September 11, 2001 to commemorate the events of 9/11.

"What I can say about 9/11 is that it marked the transition from childhood to adulthood in my life," says Powell. "I'm 32 now, and I had just turned 22 when the attacks happened. My life is cleanly split into pre-9/11 childhood and post-9/11 adulthood. I've often wondered what the long term effect will be of a generation of people who equate changing from adolescence into an adult with fear."

Perspective Cartoon Sculptures by James Hopkins

James Hopkins is a British artist who has incorporated iconic cartoon characters into his artwork. The sense of illusion is captured in his displays. On one side of the sculpture, it looks like a collection of spare parts thrown together. On the other side, the visual art piece lines up and creates amazing character pieces. Among the pieces James Hopkins distorts, are characters from The Simpsons, South Park, and Disney.
