New York artist Ben Weiner has photographed lumps of paint at close range to create these artworks, which aside from looking beautiful give me the overwhelming urge to want to reach out and touch.

Best of Taylor Hanson Pinterest page
It’s refreshing to find a Pinterest board that isn’t full of bridal shower ideas or decorative food. Which is why I’m loving this gem: the Best of Taylor Hanson. It also seems like a great way for a Hanson fan like me to control my appreciation in a tasteful way, rather than creepin’ around on a site like this.

Italian twill silk scarves by Misha Milovanovich
These Italian twill silk scarves are part of a limited-edition run by London based visual artist Misha Milovanovich. Misha cites travel, 60s prints, Allen Ginsberg’s poetry, Pop Art, Jazz music and New York as her inspiration, and claims to ‘spin, rhyme, mix and scratch her colours and patterns like a Voodoo Hip Hop artist on substances known to alter cognition and perception’. Accompanying artist babble aside, the scarfs are pretty great. Read more

It’s a fact, people who don’t like clutter don’t collect plush and vinyl toys. The myriad of sizes, shapes, colours and textures in any collector’s display would put any minimal loving layman into a tizzy. Read more
The coolest band in Indonesia? I think so. White Shoes & The Couples Company describe themselves as a small band that is ‘influenced by Indonesian movie soundtracks from the 70s and inspired by the acoustic spirit of 1930′s classic jazz musicians’. But I like to think of them as carrying the torch for artists like Benny Goodman, Tahiti 80, and The Cardigans, all at the same time.

Ben Weiner’s work is absolutely amazing. He visited Eastern Illinois University last year, and his lecture at the Tarble Art Gallery was great insight into all his artwork. The paint images,paintings,and video work connects through his conceptual ideas. If you enjoy these photos, his photo realistic paintings and time-lapse videos are a must see.
