I’m really intrigued by this mixed media series Style Me by Chile-based artist Alejandra Villasmil. Alejandra’s work explores a plethora of themes concerning gender, femininity and glamor. I love how bizarre and striking it is, almost borderline unsettling. It really makes you think. (Images via alejandravillasmil.com)
I’m loving these bold, colorful, abstract illustrations by Wisconsin-born illustrator and artist Melanie Mikecz. Melanie studied art in St. Louis, Missouri and since then, has worked as an illustrator and designer in Boston and London. She now lives on the west coast with her husband and her Boston terrier named Peanut. (Images via www.mm-illustration.com)
These lovely paintings are from Portland, Oregon-based artist Amy Rupel’s State Animal series. Each painting was made with wax, paper and oils on wood. (Images via www.amyruppel.com)
I’m smitten with this mural and installation painted by UK-based artist Gemma Correll. Swoon : )
I’m crazy about these eclectic paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Deedee Cheriel. Deedee was born in the town of Eugene, Oregon, where she got her start creating record covers and T-shirts for the music scene there in the early 90s. She also played in several all-girl bands (Juned, Adickdid, The Teenangels, The Hindi Guns) at the time, which I think is pretty rad.
I love this hat-themed print and set of cards by Rifle Paper Company, which is a boutique stationery brand and design studio based in Florida created by Anna Bond and her husband Nathan. These were created from an original gouache painting by Anna. (Images via riflepaperco.com)
