I wish I could find more about this artist. Micha Lobi paints wonderful modern surrealist images.
Yes I’m a sucker for Bosch inspired art.

It’s rare that I promote music on here, because if I’m always touting the musical endeavors of random people I might lose credibility. But my friend just linked me to his current band project, Motorcrashes and I have to say…I like it a lot!
It makes me so happy when fantastic people I know produce good stuff, because I can wholeheartedly stand behind the person and the project.
The first song on the demo is an awesome blend of gritty lo-fi rock with a hint of industrial sounds and a splash of shoegaze echo. The second is…something I’d place right next to some old Iggy Pop if I were to make a “Dancing in My Room While No One is Watching Mix.”
I should make that mix.
Take a listen, add them if you have a myspace page, spread the word.

I will definitely be keeping an eye on the Candyspotting Etsy store after seeing this (currently sold out) little collection of laser cut geeky love cards.
So well done!
There are other fantastic designs in the shop as well. See for yourself here.

I’d just like to share this little gift from the universe that blew against my door this morning. This takes the prize for the coolest piece of trash (of unknown origin) that ever greeted me in the morning.
-
I need to find out where this comes from!

I love this page on The Selby (a showcase of inspiring personal spaces), featuring Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko. Amazing handcrafted marionettes, sculptures, displays…all around fun oddities to gaze at.
See the rest of the collection here.

Much of Danielle Duer’s works involves interesting semi-surreal portraiture. My favorite pieces of hers tend to depart from that style ever so slightly and flow into more varied subjects.
I enjoy reading artist statements, seeing what words they choose to crystalize fragments of human imagination.

My wonderful, talented friend Steph responded with a link to my Jimmy Swinnerton post, informing me of a site dedicated entirely to flying squirrel art.
It made my day that this site exists (I suppose my day can get made quiet easily). As Steph put it, “We only have a limited amount of time in this world, and some people dedicate it to flying squirrels.”
The cuteness…oh dear…the cuteness! I can just hear him going “weeeeeeeeeee!”
The site contains links to original art, scientific and anatomy drawings and paintings of flying squirrels from North America from colonial times through 2002. Some of them are even from the webmaster’s personal collection (how great is that? A flying squirrel collection!).
Aw, a little desk helper:
Some are rather…strange…like this “found object” piece:
Clearly, the following narrative illustration ends with the squirrel flying blissfully to safety and living happily ever after. Please don’t argue with me on this.

Coilhouse directed my attention to this wonderful set of Poe Illustrations.
Love this one…

I’m a big fan of Christopher Uminga’s adorable art. Let’s start with this series of creatures on sepia toned paper…
And there are countless monstrously sweet pieces in the rest of his portfolio.
Look at this romantic little robot…
I could look at his galleries all day! Must…stop…
See more on the artist’s site and Deviant Art gallery.
