Sagaki Keita’s Drawings Within Drawings

Remember the iconic picture of Princess Diana made out of thousands of different colored roses? Sagaki Keita’s drawings are reminiscent of this technique multiplied by 1000. To me his work embodies modern day impressionism that would have blown Renoir’s brains. Enjoy.

Beautiful Bookstores

For me, going into a bookstore is like traveling down Alice’s rabbit hole, the unexpected and magical are around every corner. Bookstores emanate a feeling of serenity, while at the same time unleashing excitement for new thoughts and ideas- it’s where new dreams come alive. As the age of online shopping dominates our pocket books let’s not forget to support and frequent our local treasure troves of the written word.

What it means to be a WallFlower By: Cecilia Paredes

Cecilia Paredes is an escape artist, and she does it beautifully to boot. The Lima born artist can seamlessly transport her subject into a jungle of lily’s or a maze of paisley’s, never to be found again. If you could blend into any background what would it be? Also a great way to tell if you like the full body tattoo look.

Dunya Atay Mixed Media

Dunya Atay does not use any glue, scissors or photoshop!  The Istanbul based illustrator uses only ink and markers on various fashion magazines to create her beautiful art. To me this poem by Joyce Thomas captures the whimsy of Dunya’s mixed media artwork.

“Sun-struck,
stuck in mid tropic strut, it sometimes stands
as if considering how to cool avian plastic,
dive into the mown lagoon of lawn;
how take flight on dayglow flap-
doodle wings, no matter
if it is ball-bald going nowhere fast.”
Joyce Thomas, Skins: Poems
