The always fantastic Terra Incognita drew my attention to the elusive Ben Blatt’s work.

I just want to get lost in these lush watercolors.

Skywalker managed to find a quote from the artist:

“My influences range from Persian miniatures to Dutch still lifes; terrariums and model train sets to aquariums and bonsai trees; things that are generally considered private and personal obsessions. I am always searching for contained and controlled beauty, the kind found suspended in the artificial and spectacular worlds of theme parks, old science books, history museum pamphlets, and field guides. I try to mutate or regenerate these kaleidoscopic introversions in hopes of painting a self-sustaining and boundless world.”

I’m a big fan of this one:

Thanks, Terra Incognita!
