ColorSPLASH. In your face.
These make me happy for some reason. It also makes me think of frosting and strawberry scented candles. Not that I ever buy strawberry scented candles – we live in a vanilla and lavender house.
What do these, or rather – how do these make you feel? Headache?
All illustrations by Yago Hortal. I think I love you.

A little bit of crazy, a little bit of fun and a little bit of ‘Hey! I used to do that when I was little!’ I used to put make-up on the magazine cover girls. My Oupa does it too, but he usually adds facial hair and glasses.
Hattie Stewart obviously wins, but in a way I feel like saying ‘game on Hattie!’.

Oooh! A typewriter that paints. Replace keys with color pads. Woop! Not that I’ll be able to do anything with it, but it is worth a try. Would anyone like to order paintings just in time for the holidays? Send me an email – I’d love to try my best.

“Armed with a vision and their cans of spray paint, El Mac and Retna will transform a forgotten wall into a piece of art. They combine their artistic forces in a specific way: El Mac creates huge lifelike portraits and Retna, calligraphic brushwork and decoration.”

If this post looks odd, do forgive – I am using WordPress on my phone for the first time. If it works, then ‘woo-hoo’, ‘yay’ and ‘yeeha’ all at the same time.
Back to Pip Wallpaper. This morning I went to a 5 storey fabric store for a browse and somehow ended up on the upholstery floor.
That is when a giant hot pink book distracted me (not very hard to do). How can you walk past something so bright and happy-looking? Not to mention beauuutiful, and again – bright.
I want (need) this sample book. Please.
Prepare yourself for the worst photo of the year (or maybe the last 3 years?). Is it possible for an air conditioning unit to affect a phone like this? Liiines. Laugh.
Note to self: Invest in a small camera that you can carry in your bag at all times. Cellphone photos are not allowed. These should be banned.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World Fan Art is a series of handmade 3D paper crafts that Ruth Afrita did for her school projects.
Does it make you want to grab any piece of paper and cut, cut, cut? That is what it does to me. Now can it please be tomorrow already? (I need paper.)
Do yourself a favor and have a look at Ruth’s portfolio cover too.
Here is a sneak peak.
Ruth, you are one creative little lady.
Oh, how I love Mr Williams.
I have been watching a few ’Visions of Visionaries‘ interviews by MADE - and it is because of this video that I discovered ARTST.
Pharrell has created an online community for artists, ARTST Guild & Gallery, to share their work, their ideas and their passion.
“We created this network to give people an opportunity to get the visibility they deserve, to reach into the sky. Members can upload and showcase anything creative: music, architecture, painting, or even fashion, and then comment on the work of others and collaborate with each other. More than just a gallery, it’s a guild for those who create art.”
What happened to the ‘i’ in the word artist?
“There is no I because it’s not about me.”
Thank you Mr Williams! I really do love you.

16 Months of drawing exercises. 16 Months of drawing exercises in Microsoft Excel. Yup, you heard me. I get excited when a formula works in umn… that program with the ‘xls’ file extension. The one with all the rows and columns.
Danielle made these drawings, using only – Microsoft Excel. Say what? Yes, I cannot believe it either, but I will try.
What is your day job, Danielle? I am asking, seeing that these drawings took you 16 months to complete. Job well done, might I add. As in ‘woah‘.
I have been staring at this photo for a while now. Okay, not staring, but I had to look at it a few times during the last few minutes. Wow, that sounds a bit creepy.
It must be the combination of her pose and the color. It is a very striking photo, agree? Tracey Lee Hayes is the photographer. Wow, Tracey.
It definitely has to do with the color of the Mondrian inspired swimwear by Australian designer, Sarah Schofield. In case you did not know, Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter.
“When the war ended in 1919, Mondrian returned to France, where he would remain until 1938. Immersed in the crucible of artistic innovation that was post-war Paris, he flourished in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom that enabled him to embrace an art of pure abstraction for the rest of his life. Mondrian began producing grid-based paintings in late 1919, and in 1920, the style for which he came to be renowned began to appear.
In the early paintings of this style the lines delineating the rectangular forms are relatively thin, and they are gray, not black. The lines also tend to fade as they approach the edge of the painting, rather than stopping abruptly. The forms themselves, smaller and more numerous than in later paintings, are filled with primary colors, black, or gray, and nearly all of them are colored; only a few are left white.”
