The impressive craftsmanship and the performance of his “guitarts” have made them highly sought-after among both professional musicians, amateur guitar players, and collectors.
“Every guitar begins as an idea, with some ideas being more daring than others. The ultimate result is a functional, playable piece of art, each accompanied by its own dedicated video and backstory,” Burls Art explains on his website.
Burls Art says that “taking raw materials and molding them into functional and one-of-a-kind creations” is a “deeply ingrained passion” for him. His venture into craftsmanship started with crafting go-karts, model planes, and truck campers, before he decided to test his skills with guitars. It was then that he discovered his true passion and hasn’t looked back since.

The highly-anticipated concert was quickly dubbed the “Beyoncé Bowl”, and it completely overshadowed the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.

Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga hopped in the taxi with Lowe to perform some of their favorite holiday classics, but Chappell Roan was eventually the one that got everyone talking.

Singing this song alongside her loved ones was a full-circle moment for the young artist and her parents, who were visibly emotional during the ride. Her father even wiped away tears from his eyes after she delivered the line “don’t think I’ve left you all behind” before talking about how proud he was of her.

]]>Henegar’s brand Cookie in the Kitchen is followed by over 200,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, and she’s basically been running it since she was 11 years old. This was when she convinced her sister to help her draw a logo for her business, and she had quite a few orders after handing out the first batch of her cookie samples and business cards around the neighborhood.
Henegar developed her decorating skills in the years to come, and most of her cookies are now inspired by her favorite musicians, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Olivia Rodrigo. Some of them even got to try them in person, such as Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, and Em Beihold.
Even though most of her cookies these days are inspired by music, making people happy and being a part of their big moments remains her priority.
“Whether I’m making cookies for Harry Styles or my next-door neighbor, I strongly believe that everyone deserves their significant moments, relationships, and stories to be celebrated – big and small. My hope isn’t simply to provide you with beautiful & delicious cookies, but to help you & the people you love to feel seen,” she wrote on her official website.

]]>The post David Cox is Resurrecting Old Pianos as Fascinating Phoenix Sculptures appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Cox uses parts of old pianos, mainly their keys, to create fascinating phoenix sculptures. His works serve as a captivating wall art while giving the instrument a new life and preserving the memories that were created with it.
“You can’t just take it to the tip and bury something like that in landfill, it’d just feel disrespectful. So for me, it’s an honor to be trusted to take something that means so much to people, and find another way it can bring some joy and beauty to a home,” Cox shared in a recent interview with New Atlas.
Cox started resurrecting old pianos almost by accident. His friend was building a recording studio and wanted to have a unique wall art to fill the space. Being a self-described “junk collector,” Cox found a set of piano keys in his studio and decided to repurpose them as a phoenix sculpture.
When people saw his first sculpture, they wanted similar artwork for themselves, so Cox kept on crafting them. He sources his material by finding old piano parts for sale, but also directly from owners who want their musical instrument turned into a lasting piece of art.
Cox recently finished his 50th phoenix sculpture and intends to keep on increasing that number as long as there are old pianos that need a new purpose. Scroll down to check out more of his works.

]]>The post Talented Dog Recreates Covers of Madonna’s Albums appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>The latter is thanks to a talented golden retriever called Max. With the help of his owner Vincent, this adorable dog recreated covers of some of the most popular Madonna’s albums and gave them an even greater appeal.
According to Vincent, he and Max needed eight months to finish the project. This included creating homemade costumes, learning the poses, and doing photo shoots.
“I am a big fan of Madonna, these pictures I’m doing with Max are tributes to artists that I love and respect,” said Vincent via Bored Panda while adding that the project also serves him as a break from his everyday work.
But the duo didn’t stop themselves with Madonna’s album covers. They went on to recreate the singer’s famous photos and iconic looks throughout her storied career as well. And if you’re asking yourself if Max enjoys this activity, the answer is yes.
“Everything is like a game for him, so yes,” added Vincent. You can check out more of Max’s recreations below.

]]>The post Tropical Vibe: Ted Feighan’s Collage Art and Music Go Hand in Hand appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>
“I feel the most inspired by music,” shared Feighan in an interview with the Urban Outfitters blog. “I’m a huge fan of Brian Wilson, his music from the mid 60s-early 70s is incredible. I’m also into tapestries and weavings from central and South America, that’s been inspiring a lot of my color and design lately.”
His aim with his work (whatever the medium) is to create a certain vibe—transporting the viewer or listener to another place altogether. “I always want to try and take people out of their current space or mindset and put them somewhere new,” he explains. “I want my work to feel familiar, but fresh and a bit strange. When I started making this artwork I used to say that I was trying to create a world that I would like to live in.”
His tip to other aspiring creatives? Keep working. “Don’t let yourself get down or stressed about too much in your work, if you have ideas keep trying to make them happen,” he stresses. “The biggest lesson I think I’ve learned is just to trust my own ideas and concepts and to work as hard as I can to execute them. It’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and it’s always important to remember to come back to your own concepts.”
Below you’ll find examples of his tropical collage work.
