The Drawer’s Imagery

 

Because we all need this kind of nurture…

This dose of possible inspiration.

I’m bothered by the lack of credits but if something interests you simply ask and I’ll tell you what I know….

Well my friends… It has been a very chaotic and messy week for me… Full of deadlines, and restless nights… Therefore my playlist is as messy as my head has been, don’t try to link the songs, they’re totally random, I didn’t have enough time to research, so it is really everything I discovered this week, and a few songs I enjoyed re-listening to…

 

 

 

To be clearer:

1. Parov Stelar – Booty Swing

2. Neon Indian – Polish Girl

World Chocolate Masters Final

This post is dedicated to all food art lovers, and more especially to whoever is still not convinced that food can be art, but most importantly to chocolate worshippers.

Let’s make it clear, what’s The World Chocolate Masters ?

Well, it’s a competition, a culinary one, involving lots of chocolate, and a “National Chocolate Master” from many countries, that takes place every two years since its creation in 2005.

This year, the theme imposed is “Cocoa, the gift of Quetzalcoatl”, and the nineteen finalists were asked to elaborate a chocolate cake, two pralines, a dessert and one exceptional artistic creation around this theme…

It is happening these three days (19, 20 and 21) in Paris, where visitors can admire the creations at the ‘’Porte de Versailles’’. And because it’s obviously difficult for most of us to get there in a snap, here are pictures of the finalists’ creations, and know that you can vote for your favorite on their site, which I’ve already done.

Veronique Rousseau from Canada

 Ryan Stevenson from Belgium

Sylvain Bortolini from USA

 John Costello from United Kingdom

Damien Deslandes from Lebanon

Luis Robledo from Mexico 

Xavier Berger from France

Frank Haasnoot from Netherlands

Jana Ristau from Germany

Yoshiaki Uezaki from Japan

Yumiko Saimura from Italy

Claudia Schmid from Switzerland

Francisco Somoza from Spain

Mariusz Buritta from Eastern Europe

Palle Sørensen from Denmark

Asgeir Sandholt from Iceland

Asgeir Sandholt from Russia

Seung Yun Lee from Australia

Chi Hsien Cheng from Taiwan

 

Although I’m very proud of the Lebanese artwork, I must say that I admire the Canadian piece, and the Dutch one over all.

But also the savagery of the Mexican one, the details of the dragon in the East European sculpture, the poetry of the Danish one, the symetry on the Russian one, and the sensibility of the Australian work.

I’ve been disappointed by the French creation, the pieces from Taiwan and Japan are too predictable, and it looks like the Swiss is a bit show-off…

At least that’s my opinion. What’s yours ? Which one’s your favorite ? Go vote now, and let me know too !

 

See ya !
