Andrew Holder Holds it Down.






The artwork of Andrew Holder... Looks like vector, tastes like vector, smells like vector but it's hand painted! And such good use of color. Love it.

Dude, That's Swede.











Along with my heart throb crush on the Japanese, I also have a serious love for the Swedes. Camilla Engman, Swedish artist and dog lover, makes really nice things. Her illustrations and paintings have been used by the likes of Converse and The New York Times, but she also continues to do amazing little limited edition things like her book about her dog Morran and hand printed & embroidered tea towels. Her style is sweet and innocent. But at a closer look, her characters tend to have a depth, a drop of melancholy that adds to the emotive draw of her work. Honestly, I just like her. She's good.

Elemental Art Show.





Five Artists: Aaron Piland, Ayumi Piland, Betsy Walton, Yellena James and Jill Bliss = 53 whimsical, playful, naturiffic pieces that look like they were art directed by the unrivaled fascination and imagination of a 5 year old. Beautiful.

Nautical. Fantastical. Radical.




Don't you love seeing the words "everything is OK"? I do. Especially when they're waving proudly from the mast of an oldtimey ship. Lisa Congdon 2.0. 

Whimsical. Beautiful. Badical.
