Ooh…I’m suffocating under the sweetness…and I love every minute of it. 64 Colors is a design team who roll out adorable prints, characters and toys.
You want the cute? You can’t handle the cute!
This is the happiest food I’ve ever seen.

Dominic McGill’s elaborate sketches remind me of what I WISH the doodling in my old school notebooks looked like.
Whoever says doodling is not “art” needs to see this work! One can get lost in it…

The ever-twisted and supremely talented Alex Pardee has come out with a new series of paintings: Letters from Digested Children.
I wish I could have attended the exhibit. I’m extremely entertained by Pardee’s intricate, colorful monsters.
If you’ve never seen Pardee’s work and you are suitably appreciative of good humored macabre art, I highly recommend perusing his galleries.
Matt Duffin’s high contrast work explores the recesses of solitude, isolation and irony.
I’d give anything to sit in this chair with a never ending bookshelf in front of me. Yet Duffin makes the scene delightfully ominous. How small we humans can be…
And how blind…
Lonely moments, flickers of life, abandonment…I want to hear the words bellowing into the void…
…and know what lurks behind the doors.

Beau and Alan Daniels “create cutaway, ghosted and phantom view medical illustrations, realistic and stylized.”
No wonder they have an impressive portfolio of commercial work. I may be partial to medical illustration in general, but I think these are rather wonderful.

Yu Sugawara is a wonderful modern surrealist painter who plays with the fusion of form and meaning.
The titles are often single words that guide the mind into a context and are quite poignant in light of the image.
“Landlord:”
“Shy:”
“Writing:”

I’d like to get to Kenichi Hoshine’s exhibit at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery.
His images are hazy, obscure and minimalistic, yet somehow intimate. They leave me searching for stories behind the shadows.
See a lovely write up and exhibit images here.
Most of us have seen the famous HOPE poster by the talented and delightfully subversive Shepard Fairey.
Now we can all be immortalized in a Shepard-style poster. I did one in honor of my Inauguration celebration this evening:
I try to keep politics off this site…but today is a fine day, indeed.
Get your own Obamicon here.
The Washington Post has an interesting article about branding, and the subtle levels of the poster’s significance here.
I believe I originally came across Robert Steven Connett (a.k.a vmaximus on Neatorama. Mmm…a bit like Giger, only colorful and shiny!
So much to observe in this tightly packed crustacean menagerie…
He makes wonderful use of transparency and anatomical layers in his otherworldly specimens.

Have you ever wanted to feel like you were walking in a piece of graphic design art? Chris Natrop makes it possible.
For “Pink Dimension Burst,” he uses only watercolor on cut paper and tape:
“And Further the Dewdrop Falls” is a large installation comprised of cut paper and acrylic, watercolor, glitter, string and HD video projection.
Wouldn’t it be surreal to walk through?
Some of his pieces are cut paper suspended by wire, utilizing cast shadows are a mainstay of the design.
And then there are entire rooms of precisely cut pieces ans perfect shadows.
If I ever had a truly “spare” room, purely for decoration, I’d be quite happy to let Natrop have his way with the space.
