"For years it has stood unvisited and was considered an unfashionable 1960s monolith with an uncertain future. But with the flick of a switch, launching fireworks and a new 500ft-high Olympics countdown screen, central London’s BT Tower has been given a new burst of life. And now it seems the rotating restaurant – its crowning glory until it was closed 30 years ago – will reopen to the public." - Emma from Bookmarklet

I think we ate there in 1977 or so -- if I recall, it was amazingly expensive. - Stephen Mack

WHOA! - Brandon

Though the style of Sol's work is greatly influenced by a combination of manga, folk-art, vintage illustration and modern design, she remains a self taught artist. She has dedicated many years of her life mixing pigments and mediums to achieve a unique color palette of subtly muted tones. The artist works intuitively from the beginning to end of each piece, with the intent that each painting's theme or message can be interpreted subjectively. Within these delicate works, you may often find whimsical landscapes populated with exotic plants, animals and females... Amongst the expressions of each character are notions of peaceful reflection and a sense of companionship. Amy Sol spent her childhood years in Korea, and then moved to Las Vegas, NV where she currently lives and works. - Emma

A self-portrait of Andy Warhol that sat in a closet for more than 40 years will be auctioned in New York next month. The late artist gave the piece to Cathy Naso, a receptionist at his Factory studio, in 1967. She displayed the work briefly, then stored it in a cupboard. Inscribed by Warhol, it is expected to fetch at least $1m (£604,576) when it is sold at Sotheby's on 11 November. "I would love to keep it forever, but it really belongs to the art world," Naso told the New York Times. "I've treasured it, and I want whoever ends up owning it to treasure it too." - Emma from Bookmarklet

Wish I'd ever gotten that good a (or any) Admin Assistant Day present. - Spidra Webster

"This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama. The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale. Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding creation." - Emma from Bookmarklet

Thanks for sharing that clip, johnny2009... :) - Emma

"Welcome to the soft and surreal world of Nicoletta Ceccoli. We just received an email from the CoproGallery letting us know about the web preview to Nicoletta's show. Starting November 7th, 2009, the CoproGallery will present Nicoletta Ceccoli's, "Babes in Toyland." The show will take you to "a land where classic fairy tales meet 16th Century Flemish paintings, a place where Snow White and Alice in Wonderland-like doll-girls and their toys live amongst a magical forest of lollipops and candy." Ceccoli's lifetime love and passion for children's picture books came full circle when her first works were published in 1997. Since then, Ciccoli has earned numerous awards including the Andersen prize Baia Delle Favole. and in 2006, a Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators in New York. Ceccoli currently lives and works as a full-time book illustrator in the republic of San Marino, Italy." - Emma from Bookmarklet

Creeping closer inch by inch – 900ft above the mighty Colorado River – the two sides of a £160million bridge at the Hoover Dam in America slowly take shape. The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself. When complete, it will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona. In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face. The arches are made up of 53 individual sections – each 24ft long – which have been cast on-site and are being lifted into place using an improvised high-wire crane strung between temporary steel pylons. - Emma from Bookmarklet
