Dubbed the Canvas series, these are classy screen-printed canvas artwork of chairs that can be propped against a wall and then sat on. Simply, wow.

Eric Joyner’s artwork is such a sweet mix of vintage sci-fi robots, Americana and luscious oil paint that you’re likely to slip into a diabetic coma at some point. All I can say is that until your inevitable insulin shot is due, just enjoy the fun.

We all know Picasso liked to paint people with really weird facial features and eyes mixed up all over their faces. Now, imagine what would happen if Picasso’s paintings were played out in real life. The result is surprisingly glamorous. These photos by Eugenio Recuenco are absolutely fantastic.

When asked if he thought his music was any good, he’d frequently point out that he was actually a painter, not a musician. And guess what? He was telling the truth. Here are a few of his [...]

San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Mann uses the city streets as his inspiration in this hauntingly beautiful series. The muggy atmosphere lends a certain existential character to the paintings. The visual renditions may get you feeling a touch nostalgic, like only a walk down a rainy street can.
