Angela Deane / Ghost Photographs

IT’S OCTOBER! And I’m ready to add some extra horror-themed art to the mix. Some silly, some unnerving, all amazing. Today it’s by way of Angela Deane‘s mixed media Ghost Photographs, found photos painted with acrylic and given a whole new lease on life as Deane explores the idea of having memories. Ghosts driving, ghosts swimming, you really need to check out the extensive ongoing project for yourself – there are even a few witches thrown in for good measure.

Ito Bindery

As their name might suggest, Ito Bindery got their start 70 years ago as a bookbinding company. Based out of Tokyo, these guys also manage to create some of the sleekest drawing pads and memoblocks I’ve seen. If you like a clutter-free workspace I’m betting you’ll love these supplies just as much as I do.

Arthur Brouthers

I know I’ve come across something really special when choosing only five or six images to share seems like a daunting task. Arthur Brouthers‘ creations stopped me dead in my tracks and I had to know more about his process and inspiration.

The innovation of the technique I utilize in my work is based on years of experimentation with acrylic paint, various mediums, and manipulating the environment. The results are not entirely predictable; which parallels the natural world my work emulates. The amorphous shapes and colors are easily found in nature; whether being under a microscope, through a telescope, or viewed by our own eyes. I pour the paint and create a reaction that mimics natural phenomena, forming images in an unorganized unity. A thick clear medium is often applied to finished pieces, providing a looking glass into an ever evolving natural reaction. The viewer is left to find resonance between the piece and their own perception.

Erik Jones

There are elements of Lisa Frank and everything else shiny, happy, and good in the mixed media art of Erik Jones. Ten-year-old me would have loved and appreciated these chaotic works that use watercolor, acrylic, colored pencils, wax pastels, and oil paint as much as 36-year-old me does.

David Scheid

The stained glass work of David Scheid makes my stomach drop out, plain and simple. Any time you combine an ages old art form (stained glass) with an aspect that feels fresh (colorblocked geometry) I’m sold. Scheid splits his time between creating custom pieces and one of a kind triangles sold online. I’m so into it. All of it. Sign me up.

ONZA Tiles

With just a glance can you tell what MUT Design‘s ONZA modular tiles are inspired by? Chocolate bars. In texture, production process, and how they’re melted down with heat. They’re beautifully minimal, composed of just three ceramic pieces with invisible joints that allow infinite compositions when assembled. Choose from three neutral colors – grey, terra-cotta, and white.
