Annie McLaughlin‘s paintings that focus on that point where floor meets wall sound boring, but are nothing short of the opposite. Graphic patterns, bold colors, and perimeter accessories keep your eye moving from point to point and wanting to step in to investigate in person.
I’ve got your daily dose of creepy cool art right here, check out Swan Bones. (That name even!) Kelly Louise Judd is the talent behind these pen and watercolor creations with a focus on somber women and muted palettes.

Laura Carlin‘s Animal Mural is the combination of 84 ceramic tiles that will bring the zoo indoors. I love her playful style of painting as well as the fact that you purchase your favorite tiles – from baboons to house cats to gorillas!

The first words that come to mind after viewing Kate Tucker‘s paintings are organized and chaos. Her style also reminds me of an abstract adult take on that old childhood classic – paint by number. Whatever the case, the end result is nothing short of captivating.
Talk about an instantly perfect entryway! Check out Leaning Loop – the perfect spot to hang your outerwear, stash your keys, keep your shoes, and more. Just prop it against the wall and you’re good to go.
Let’s start today with something lighthearted and fun. Illustrator Bea Crespo and photographer Andrea G. Portales teamed up to create Brunchcity, a food project that creates tiny cities upon the foods they’re known for.
The fine lines used by Harriet Lee-Merrion lend an airy feel to illustrations that could easily feel weighed down with cerebral subject matter. She sells some of her work in a Big Cartel shop that you can peek at here.
Just what happens when real world and virtual influences collide? In the hands of 25-year-old Valentin Dommanget it’s a series of marbled canvases that get stretched and torqued to mimic what look like Photoshop effects. (I’ll take ten.)
