Illustrator Ville Savimaa has a style pretty unlike anything I’ve seen. Love the Easter-ish colours in this first one.

The Jeff Death series by illustrator Matt Lee is a set of covers for books that do not exist, by an author that does not exist. His intent is to “mythologize a fictitious author”, with the titles of the books (which come from old songs) offering up a sort of narrative of their own.

Really diggin’ these paintings by Ethan Hayes-Chute (another RISD alum! Forgot to mention that Janine went to school there too!)

Playing with Tradition, a hand knotted wool carpet design by Richard Hutten. Remember when you were on a dial-up modem and images would load like this? Great stuff.

Let’s see how many Canadians I can post in a row (I forgot to mention Jessica Fortner is from Toronto). Below are paintings by Marcel Dzama, who is originally from Winnipeg and now lives in New York.

My first exposure to Dzama’s work was the album art for Beck’s Guero (love that album – Farewell Ride anyone?) and I immediately found something about his imagery really unsettling – it was like seeing a Goya painting for the first time.
