Irina Troitskaya’s Matreshkas are so amazing! There is a specific theme for each series. One series is ‘the most popular animals from Russian fairy tales’ another is ‘naturally white animals’ (first image below). I love that she includes her sketches!
Interesting geometric work by James Gauvreau and Anna Pantchev.
These incredible ceramic sculptures by Christiane Haase are unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Wow.
Damion Silver emailed over photos of some laser-etched mono prints he made. I am not familiar at all with this process but the pieces look really interesting. If you’re wondering, yes they are for sale on his site!
Supertouch reports that Lance Armstrong has commissioned several artists to create chalk art in the streets of LA to raise awareness for his Livestrong foundation. Enjoy some images of James Jean’s fantastic contribution!
I like these “isometric mountains” by Charlotte Traynor. She started following our tweets on Twitter and her profile pic sparked my interest.
I love these paintings by Esther Pearl Watson! Growing up, her father liked to build huge flying saucers out of scrap metal and car engines, and now her father’s hobby lives on in her work. I have always loved the idea of Calvin and Hobbes in that, Calvin is the only one who sees Hobbes as a living tiger. These paintings capture that same kind of thing – giant scraps of metal from one point of view, and yet hovering all around town from another.
