Some people are simply having more fun than should be allowed by law.  At least, that’s the feeling I get looking through Lauren Minco’s work.  Very cool.

Kristi Ryba’s paintings often resemble photo-collages, and can almost be read like pages from a fantastic graphic novel, but at the same time feel very painterly.  And as if that wasn’t enough, she also has some incredible stop-motion videos on her site.  Very cool!

Thank you Barbara for the link.

I am a very big fan of Amy Earles gouache paintings,  many of which resemble illustrations for the dark versions of fairy tales you weren’t allowed to hear growing up.  

Her site isn’t very intuitive to navigate, but she also has a blog, which is.

I really enjoy the way Kristoffer Holmgren combines geometric patterns with geological formations in his gouache paintings.  

If you have ever thumbed through an old photo album at a flea market you might be familiar with that slightly disarming sense of experiencing somebody else’s memories second hand.

I can’t say for sure that Mary Henderson is depicting her own memories in her paintings, but looking through her site I sure feel like I’ve wandered into somebody’s memory bank.  It’s a good place to be.
