For those children of the 80’s out there Ron Mueck was part of Jim Henson’s creature shop back when they made Labyrinth.

stuff I’m digging: the deceptive work of Kirk Hayes
Burning Castle, 2005, oil on signboard, 44×27
Kirk Hayes…I’m not usually a huge fan of trompe L’oeil because I think it is widely used to evil ends but these oil paintings are amazing if you didn’t know any better you would just dismiss them as more of that found object collage that is so popular with the kids these days…Hayes is represented by conduit gallery in Dallas Texas.(photo from www.conduitgallery.com)
