This hand lettering on a door for a “Microanalysis Research and Consulting Chemist” made me laugh. It’s such a whimsical style and the pink paint adds to the fun. It’s the exact opposite of what I would expect to see for such a company. Seen in dj denim’s photostream, which contains a plethora of this [...]
Lori Hutchinson is making some really fresh paintings. They have great texture, and I always love some ethereal oddness in paintings. I particularly liked the one called Umbrella Weather, but the one I posted above was just so bold, unique and well executed, that I had to feature it. It’s called Hanging Like a Star [...]
Flickr user s.alt has a beautiful set of plant silhouette photography. I love how the contrast is so high that they almost look like vector art work. These photos would make great inspiration for graphic designs and patterns.
I loved this photo of wispy toy sheep surround by luscious bokeh and I had to share it here. It’s in square format, but the original resolution is high enough that you can easily crop it to wallpaper size if you know how. See more by the photographer, MummaLu.

Chris Glass took this beautiful photo of a Wall-E toy holding a real plant. It almost brings to life this character from the amazing movie. It also makes a great desktop wallpaper in the original size. I love the title and caption he gave the photo, “Where I forget about landfills and buy the toy [...]
