Don’t ask why, but I can totally relate to this art piece called Will Of Power, by Yoan Capote.

Mondrian Sandwich
This Mondrian inspired Sandwich made me laugh. This might be my new way of sending subliminal art messages to my daughter with her lunches.
(Thank you Brittany)
The Postiche Collection
Earlier today, I opened an envelope that entailed “The Postiche Collection” – a Limited Edition catalogue designed by Hampus Jageland.
I don’t think I have ever come across a more surprising and in some strange way fascinating imagery than this. Men with quilt-beards? It was created by Julian Wolkenstein and Paul Sharp.
I still don’t fully understand it, but consider me intrigued.
Dear Art World…
Dear Art World: William Powhida’s Critique of Everything That’s Wrong with Contemporary Culture. Interesting post over on Brain Pickings.
Growing Bookbow
Whoa! Check out this timelapse of Paul Octavious’ Bookbow Print. So cool! (You can buy the print here)
3D Boy Print by Oliver Jeffers
Oliver Jeffers is one of my all-time favorite children’s books illustrators and I was thrilled when he said yes to a print-collaboration. You can purchase 3D boy in my shop and I am sure it will make a great addition to any kids room, or even an office. What do you think?
Book Shelf
This book shelf by Daniel Eatock made me chuckle.
Jim Denevan on The Anthropologist
In March of 2010, Jim Denevan and his crew created a large scale artwork on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal, Siberia. The spiral of circles, along a fibonacci curve, grow from an origin of 18″ to several miles in diameter.
The project is currently featured on The Anthropologist and is the subject of an upcoming documentary directed by Meredith Danluck.
The Anthropologist is an online space that supports the work of inspiring individuals, brought to you by the people behind Anthropologie. As a company of artists, Anthropologie celebrates artmakers and their work, but also illuminates the complicated, messy and exhilarating process of creation.
Suspended Dandelions
2,000 Suspended Dandelions by Regine Ramseier. Fantastic.
Make Change
Our awesome Make Change Tattly by Ewan Huwa is now available as a print.
Spaces, Etc.
These sculptural objects by New York based designer Ron Gilad are minimal three-dimensional outlines of various familiar shapes. As minimal as they are, they form spaces, rooms, shapes. It’s fascinating how our mind finishes what his artwork has started.
Sensu, an iPad Brush
Here’s a Kickstarter project that made me look: The team behind Sensu is trying to bring a true painting experience to your iPad.
They developed Sensu out of their desire to have an authentic brush to use with our favorite drawing and painting apps on iPhone and iPad. And smart: When closed the Sensu brush reveals a useful rubber stylus tip.
Cool idea, no?
YES NO
I am a big fan of all things Markus Raetz. The fact that he now made a Typographic Illusion Scultpure makes me swoon.
The Art of Clean Up
I am completely fascinated by The Art of Clean Up: Sorting and Stacking Everyday Objects, by Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli.
Under what rock do I live? Why did I miss his TED talk?

Do Watcha Like
Arianna of Paperjam Press just recently added a few more prints to her collection of hand pulled, short runs of words to live by.
Thinking of a Masterplan hangs above my desk and makes me happy on a daily basis. The Do Watcha Like made me chuckle. See them all here.
Calculator Screen Prints
I am pretty sure these prints would make my accountant smile: Five Color Calculator Screen Print by Tom Rowe.
Minimal Art Shelf
I love this Minimal Art Shelf Idea by Erin Loechner.
Lion
I fully agree with the Fab.com copy-writer: This mammoth crochet-knit sculpture of a life-sized lion’s head is a witty, whimsical commentary on the sport of hunting and taxidermy’s trophy exhibitionism.
How fun would this be in a kid’s room? (Even though, it might cause nightmares)
Embroidered Portraits
These embroidered portraits by Daniel Kornstrumpf had me drop what I was doing and stare, in awe.
(Thank you Jon)
MoMA Design Studio
The MoMA Department of Advertising and Graphic Design just launched their team website: www.momadesignstudio.org #twothumbsup
(thank you Jesse)
Printing at Home
This Printing At Home Piece by Xavier Antin made me chuckle. Combine art with some humor and you got me.
Fake Books
I couldn’t help but chuckle when I discovered these Fake Books by Emanuela Ligabue. They are handpainted wooden blocks, made to look like a book. (Please everyone, let’s welcome Emanuela to the internet. She just launched her site *today*, oh, and she happens to be the mother of wonderfully talented Olimpia Zagnoli)
