To good effect, really. I can’t find a homepage for her (!), but you can see more here and here.

I like this illustration style and also that the prints are really affordable.

I can’t recall who painted this image and the ‘properties’ information titles the image as “jpeg,” so the odds of my finding an artist to attribute it to are pretty low.

I do remember being startled by the date of its’ creation - somewhere in the late 1890s, I believe. The turquoise and coral color details stike me as really fresh and modern, if reminscent of the seafoam greens and washed pinks popular in suburban, American bathrooms throughout the 1980s.

Anyway, I quite like it. If you know the artist, let me know.

Elsa Mora is hard at work! She is probably best known for her detailed paper cuts, but I really enjoyed the execution and arrangement of her porcelain work below.

She is making lovely work in a variety of mediums, so go have a look!

Megan Whitmarsh made a lot of noise a couple years back with her paintings embroidered with cotton detail. For those of you not familiar with her work, it’s a fiesta of fun.

I thought you might want more… Go here and here.

“Charles A. A. Dellschau (1830-1923), a butcher from Texas whose obsession with flight yielded notebooks of double-sided watercolors that have the luminosity of stained glass.” ROBERT A. SMITH

“…what is still fascinating about some of the best outsider art is the feeling you have that fantasy has become so powerful as to eclipse what most people take for reality. Charles A. A. Dellschau, a butcher in Texas, created thousands of wonderfully fanciful pictures of Jules Verne-style flying machines.” KEN JOHNSON

Robots, yetis, flying fish, bears, anthropomorphic snowflakes, etc. more mingle in this compelling painting series by L.A. based artist Wilson Hsu.

When you check it out, do yourself a favor and tab open the paintings as it’s too slow loading to look at one by one. Oh, and amid the exciting robot-bear-fox extravaganza, keep an eye out for some of Hsu’s more restrained pieces like this one.

Nice work, Hsu.
