I like where this series of simplified insects and bugs based on the golden ratio is going. It’s being made by Graphic Nothing, who describes his own work as “Retro Futuristic Folk Graphics – until that is, I can think of an even more absurd pretentious description.”

I enjoyed loking through Marloes Duyker’s thread illustrations. Illustrating with thread might not be something original anymore, but the compositions are amazing and cover a vast range of moods. Via Holga

I love this packaging for the Childhood issue of A5 Magazine (warning: annoying browser resize). I’ve just heard of the magazine itself and it looks really interesting. They announce a theme and then anyone can submit works of art and design based on the theme. You can then buy the magazine, which features the curated [...]

I love the coffee antlers and the heart shaped newspaper clippings in this collage by Mary Virginia Carmack. Via Steven O. Sloan

Kevin Cherry is an art teacher that creates fantastic mixed media collages with typographic subjects in his free time. For the most part, the collages consist of paper, photo transfer, and screen printing onto painted wood. Sounds like a lot of work, but the texture it creates is very nice.

I love this little gallery of vintage looking hand made flea circuses. It makes me want one just to have as decoration in my house. The photos have that nice vintage coloring to them as well, I just wish they were bigger. Via Clusterflock

I remember seeing this beard illustration that was inspired by Milton Glaser’s Bob Dylan illustration. Well, now it is available as a poster from Beard Revue. If I didn’t currently have a surplus of art waiting around to be hung on my already crowded walls, this would be a must buy for me. Via Anyways.us

I am loving this print for sale at L’Affiche Moderne entitled, El arca y el diluvio by Argintinian illustrator Gustavo Amir. His pieces are innocent and childlike, but reflect a complex maturity in the emotions they evoke. Check out his Flickr gallery for lots more of his great work. Via Pica + Pixel

Cristiana Couciero has a unique style of graphic art that she posts to her blog. She creates digital collages, but the graphics she appropriates are taken from mid-century modern designs and her compositions feel minimal and structured yet layered and abstract. It’s a very distinctive style and I love seeing things in them like the [...]

I love the prints that graphic design and print studio “Lovely” creates, and I especially enjoy the ones that are printed on found paper materials. It gives the prints a one-of-a-kind feel that is always nice to have when you buy art. They have lots of great photos of their work on Flickr as well.
