art and artists that inspire me, in no particular order.
common themes: nature, papercraft, found objects/trash, needlework, journals, geometric designs, repetition, interactivity, strangeness, miniatures, dreamscapes.
been staring awestruck at his work for over a decade now. dreamy on a cosmic scale. i own one of his oracle decks and would love to pick up the other, and i'm keeping an avid eye on the progress of the tarot deck.
what a lovely human. i've followed her youtube for a long time and i'm so glad to see both her artwork and her life evolving.
lots i love here, but the massive mixed-media collage artworks really get me - like junk journaling writ very large.
longterm artistic obsession. the flowing lines, geometric influence, and use of color are immaculate.
art journaling via magazine overpainting. she has a book coming out called Creative Collage!
vibrant yet minimalist paintings, with surgically precise blocks of color. her mural work is incredible.
the sharpness of the inks gets offset by the softness of the watercolor, and then the metallic details make my brain happy.
self-described 'intuitive abstract artist.' the line variation, the texture, the tiny details, the meditative aspect - i love it so much.
intricate paper sculpture with lots of ocean themes. the pastel color palettes are lovely.
trippy interactive sketchbook art - pages that flip in and down to layer in interesting ways.
slow, patient, methodical mark-making. the time and effort invested become a visible part of the artwork.
fabric and embroidery collage. they give trading card vibes and i really like that.
architecturally inspired collage work and sculpture. tasty tasty stuff.
bookbinding meets fine art. i adore the interactive elements and the stretched definitions of what makes a book.
studies in patience, rhythm, theology, and devotion. lovely words on her blog as well.
the color work on these paintings is incredible - a little ghostly, a little silky.
i don't even know how to describe this except that it's what the inside of my head is like. glitchy overlays on mundane scenes? something like that.
two things i love: texture-y oil pastels and lumpy grumpy faces. something about these dudes' expressions just vibes with my soul.
dreamscape dioramas, eerie interiors, and trippy uses of texture.
altoid tin miniatures and little pop-up dioramas! they're working on a pop-up paper version of the house from Bob's Burgers and i'm enchanted.
layered linocuts and paper entomology. i love the bold lines of linocut and the collage aspect makes me drool.
obsessed with the fabric layering and visible stitching on this clothing design project.
interactive journals full of dreamy washes of color and artistic body horror.
