Corralling clients such as Devendra Banhart, Coca Cola and Nylon Magazine, artist Liz Riccardi is spreading her wacky illustrations all over the place. What I love about Liz’s work, is the pleasure of creating and imagination is so apparent in each of her pieces.

Utilizing simple geometric forms and a limited color palette, artist Alyssa Pheobus Mumtaz creates a stunning array of drawings by applying acrylic and dye to handmade papers. I love, love, love this work. Her drawings feel organic and primitive yet can stand simultaneously in a contemporary setting.

At the young age of 19, Louis Lander-Deacon, brings a fresh eye to photography. In the series Dreamer, Lander-Deacon captures the unconscious in a moment of pure release. Under Lander-Deacon’s Surrealism gallery, explosions of color are seized mid-air, filling the frame with dense, colorful clouds, blocking our view of the human figure (similar to Brice Bischoff’s exploration of the movement of color on film.)
Just a couple more beautiful images:

Tara Marynowsky paints life into her characters through an attentive detail to colors and shapes, yet their simple, fuzzy expressions are quite haunting. Aesthetically Tara’s watercolor paintings remind me of the artist, Marcel Dzama, yet the perplexity of her work arouse feelings of restlessness.

There are so many goodies over at Craft, but my current obsession with ceramics directed me to these gorgeous Surf Spray Vessels from Andrea Shaw.

A visual feast of collaged imagery on flat fabrics and dimensional ruffles and flounces saturate Peter Pilotto’s Spring Ready-to-wear 2013 collection. Patterns are also built up with beadwork and embroidery, setting this collection apart from the blast of dazzling printed fabrics that have been hitting the runways for seasons

At 7:25 in the evening I was entering the 6th dimension, while Ammon exclaimed Hallelujah.
