Slugs are my new favorite.
If you feel the world does not need more sparkly-trailed slug paintings you’d better tell me now, because all i wanna do from now on is paint TONS of slugs.
runnin with the pack
that’s my dog, toby, right in front. he’s too scared of bicycles to really be the leader of the pack, but he’s noble in spirit.
super-quick sketch time!
because so many of you have asked what it must be like living with the world’s cutest dog, i have illustrated our sleeping arrangements for you.
Oh flapjack.

Saturday! December 10th! Crafty Goodness in Wallingford!
folks, there’s nothing festive-ier than craft fairs. come visit me and 44 other artists!
it is always bastille day with mr. le hors.
my love for you is a stampede of horses just alerted me to this crazy beautiful book of firework studies by pierre le hors.
newsflash: old art still makes people mad.
apparently enraged by beautifully painted nekkid women, a madwoman began pounding her fists on gauguin’s two tahitian women a few weeks ago while it was on display at the national gallery in dc. the woman was reported as screaming “this is evil” and something about the homosexual agenda. she was tackled by a fellow museum-goer and detained, and the painting received minimal damage during the attack according to the washington post.
my condolences to the tahitian women, and my congratulations to mr. gauguin, who has proven post-humously that art is a living, powerful, and (sometimes) furious-rage-inducing thing. awesome.
mr. faustino is looking out for your best interest.
didier faustino transformed this billboard into a swingset as an urban escape for the daring and the non-consuming masses. from the fantastic art blog we-find-wildness:
Double Happiness responds to the society of materialism where individual desires seem to be prevailing over all. This nomad piece of urban furniture allows the reactivation of different public spaces and enables inhabitants to reappropriate fragments of their city. They will both escape and dominate public space through a game of equilibrium and desequilibrium. By playing this “risky” game, and testing their own limits, two persons can experience together a new perception of space and recover an awareness of the physical world.
lovely.
ms. roxie vizcarra has moxie.
and it all comes out in her amazing art. good lord, look at those color combinations. genius.
ola bad’s giving out good dreams.
dreamcatchers above the heads of the sleeping homeless is a lovely way to remind us folks with actual beds that a night full of dreams and warmth is a luxury.
more from ola bad’s flickr site here.
mr. matt taylor clearly knows exactly how it feels.
the name of this poster is the ride, folks, and it couldn’t be more spot-on.
better yet, you can own it for a measly $25!
jacqueline di milia’s smoky vistas
this photo affects me so strongly it nearly took me by the collar and shook me.
because everyone is friends with calvin + hobbes.
s. rivas just completed this perfectly soothing and 100% awesome mural for the reynolds home, a shelter for abused women and their children. he got that forest background just right, and i was instantly sent back to my 10-year-old sunday mornings spent with the comics just looking at these photos.
more from his flickr stream here.
mr. fred eerdekens is quite positively negative.
anyone who reminds me that negative space is valuable is instantly upped in my mind. here we have mr. eerdekens, and he’s got a whole fleet of negative space images. typography in light and shadows? yes please.
more? yes! here!
carl zeiss and the tiniest things
you know carl zeiss – his smarts is in your camera lenses, but more excitingly, it’s in microscopes. his nano image contest just published their winner, heindrich badenhorst, for his scanning electron micrograph of graphite. doesn’t it look like a backdrop for a roadrunner cartoon? those shrubs are really contrast and inhibitor particles.
natural curiosities produces curious things that are natural.
did you know about this? if you did, WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?! christopher wilcox has this amazing webstore/actual-store/collection of large, nature-inspired hand-made prints in his shop natural curiosities. i could lose hours to these images, easily.
i’m gonna curb-sit at the sunday fremont market this weekend! there are caveats – only if it’s not raining, and i’ll only stay until i’m sold out. or until i’ve eaten all the crepes from the crepe-man that i can possibly eat.
see you on sunday!
I’m back – and I’m on the West Coast!
After an epic move and a great deal of adventures, the move is over. We’re safe and sound on the west coast with paints in hand – time to scavenge for some scrap wood for new paintings!
keep posted for good stuff to come, on etsy and at Seattle area craft fairs!
