I look at a lot of architecture all day. In person and in photos. I like it when I can see the whole building close up. I like it when I see just one side. I like when a shot zeroes in on a detail. Though using architecture — angles, — Continue reading
Wow! Love loving Michelle Armas’ bold and bright modern fine art paintings. Energetic and cheerful, they really infuse the viewer with a sense of optimism. And the colors are superb: lots of warm reds, yellows and oranges mix with greens and more. Abstract and modern, drips mingle with slight geometric — Continue reading
“In childhood, one encounters and experiences many things for the first time. Through curiosity and imagination, these moments are lifted to almost magical heights. As you get older, new impressions become more scarce and it’s a rare experience to be surprised by anything. I try to bring back the sense — Continue reading

Yay for silly and happy-inducing graphics and patterns! We’ve been a big fan of textile designer Laurie Wisbrun’s patterns for awhile now, but we’re really digging some of her adorable new products with cute graphics! That hipster llama is pretty cute, and looks fun on a journal. We love the — Continue reading
Couldn’t find a lot of information about artist and photographer Nini Baseema. We know she’s based in Germany. Her Twitter profile describes her as many things: new media fan, travel guru, and art and interior design lover. In 2011, she aimed to shoot one self-portrait a day for a year. — Continue reading

I am a huge fan of porcelain something about the texture, the purity of it. At first I thought it was just that I usually see it in white. I have come to find out that is not the case. Lladro is known the world over as being the Spanish — Continue reading
Bold, gregarious, busy, colorful and just a little bit scary, Mathis Rekowski’s illustrations are compositions that jump right off the paper and kind of slap you around in the face a bit before settling back down to just visually assault your eyes (in a good way). His works feature a — Continue reading
What a name! America Martin. Really has a lot of weight to it. It’s the kind of name that a child might feel a large pressure to live up to. Clearly, this America has no problem with that, because, though young, she’s a made a name for herself in the — Continue reading
There’s a very fine line between photography done for commercial and editorial purposes and that done for the purpose of art, but with Texas-based photographer Brent Humphreys, you see that line dissolve away and are left with a portfolio of work that both inspires and informs. Motivates and persuades. Entertains — Continue reading
There is awesome stuff going on around the world — being created and thought up as we sit here — all the time. Here are just a few things that caught our eye today, of the modern persuasion: The Solar System beautifully visualized in scale Cool “small-scale production of handmade — Continue reading
Today we feature the picks of Tina Uihlein. Uihlein enjoys using digital manipulation on her landscape, nature, and fine art photographs to “make the photos that can’t be taken,” she says. Uihlein examines the natural world with an expert eye, finding details and moments that – once enhanced – have — Continue reading
Last February the artist Miriam Sweeney entered a competition hosted by the famous Saatchi Gallery with the name Showdown. Sweeney competed with her work Subversion and she won! The two works are simple stunning, because they have this quiet strength. There is just something very poetic about the two pieces. — Continue reading
One could say that imagined landscape seem to make up the subject matter of (new to) Austin-based painter Jeana Baumgardner. Shapes, of all kinds, also seem to play an integral part in her colorful, abstracted landscape-esque compositions. Definitely fitting the “modern” bill, we like how she also tends to play — Continue reading
We couldn’t find a lot of information about artist Zachary Buchner, but we don’t really need to know more than that we love it. Sort of post-apocalyptic, urban-y, street art-ish—you know? Bold colors that are full of those neon hues that are so, so hip right now. Sprinkled among canvases — Continue reading
Artist? Designer? Genius? Mike Thompson has ideas about lighting. Really cool, future-forward, crazy ideas about lighting. He’s created a light called Blood Lamp that requires users to use their own blood to operate the light, in order to drive home the question of whether or not you really need to be — Continue reading
The idiom “the devil is in the details” derives from the earlier phrase, “God is in the detail;” expressing the idea that whatever one does should be done thoroughly; i.e. details are important.
