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.

Paintings by Julienne Hsu. Something about them reminds me of an artist I featured some time ago, Steve Kim.

Illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook (another RISD grad). This is the first time I’ve seen Wesley used as a girl’s name, and I like it. Great work.
