Since 1999, the Glasgow-based artist Jim Lambie (1964) has used glossy tape in varying colors to build floor installations such as Touch Zobop (2003). The vinyl tape, an everyday material applied in continuous lines, has a capacity to transform the dynamics of space, changing a quiet gallery space into an energetic and emotional space of sensory pleasure. Lambie creates a rhythm that vibrates and pulsates, and even confuses and disorients the spectator.

According to Lambie:

“For me something like Zobop, the floor piece, it is creating so many edges that they all dissolve. Is the room expanding or contracting? … Covering an object somehow evaporates the hard edge off the thing, and pulls you towards more of a dreamscape.”

Lambie has a musical background. Like music, his art fills its surroundings and transforms the environment. As Lambie says, “You put a record on and it’s like all the edges disappear. You’re in a psychological space. You don’t sit there thinking about the music, you’re listening to the music. You’re inside that space that the music’s making for you.”

You are seeing triple, but it's not from the drugs. These kaleidoscopic images were created by Japanese architect and photographer Kazuhiko Kawahara (moonlighting under the name Palla). In 2002, Palla began digitally manipulating urban snapshots and posting them on his blog, Pallalink.net. This led to a little ad hoc crowdsourcing: Site visitors left remarks and suggestions that Palla channeled into his art. "Thanks to everyone's comments," he says, "the quality of my work has gotten better." (It's a two-way street: Earlier this year Palla donated The Unfold Cityscape, above, to the open source movie collective a Swarm of Angels.)

Johnny's family moved frequently during his childhood, and he and his siblings lived in more than 20 different locations, settling in Miramar, Florida, in 1970.

In 1978, Depp's parents divorced. He engaged in self-harm as a child, due to the stress of dealing with family problems. He has seven or eight self-inflicted scars.

In a 1993 interview, he explained his self-injury by saying, "My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo  meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist"

I'm painting mostly black and white portraits still. I'm doing that and bouncing over to more cartoon inspired imagery...but making sure the paint is really heavy and thick. The painting below is a  portrait titled "Indra Vanslow."
