Sandra Dieckmann’s awesome art

Sandra Dieckmann is an amazingly talented young British illustrator, based in East London. Last year she won an award for Upcoming Talent, and rightly so. I have a very soft spot for animals in general, which of course also includes being prone to loving animals in art, and Sandra’s often realistically depicted animals in combination with surrounding geometric patterns are spectacularly good. It makes them both classic and modern, in my mind. It is possible to buy prints and other illustrated items by her at Society 6 and her own Etsy shop, I might have to do just that. Mind you, the list of illustrators who’s work I really want to buy is getting longer and longer ...

Dr. Martens: a continued brand love story

Found here.

I have had quite a selection of Dr. Martens shoes and boots, but that was a long time ago. They have always served me well, and I very much loved each and every pair I got. Then I moved on to other shoes, it’s just one of those things that happens I suppose. And I sort of forgot the brand even existed. Until Monday afternoon, when I suddenly found a newly opened store just a few blocks from home, and fell in love all over again. This pair above came home with me, and I just can’t stop looking at them. They are so pretty! But looking around the shop, and then online, made me realise it might not be enough with just the one pair. There are so many wonderful models and I love them all. Simple as that. So I hereby officially welcome Dr. Martens back in my life.

Jennifer Davis’ awesome art: even more

So I have been a bit busy the last week, we had a friend from South Africa visiting, and went to the really nice Stockholm Music & Arts Festival this weekend. Will post about that later, but now I can’t help but do another post about the brilliant American artist Jennifer Davis, because she just keeps creating new and wonderful things I would very much like to cover my walls with. It is possible to buy prints and original art in her Etsy shop, and check out more of her work over here. And if you are fortunate enough to live in or around Portsmouth, NH, you can also check out some of these new paintings live at the Nahcotta Gallery from this Friday until 2nd September. I wish very much I could do that, very much indeed. I just love Jennifer Davis’ artistic universe, it looks like so much fun.

Ryan Pickart’s awesome art

Ryan Pickart is an American painter and artist, making awesome Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele inspired portraits of ladies. Since both Schiele and Klimt are two of my all time biggest art favorites I just adore them. Because although Pickart is clearly inspired by these artists, there is something unmistakedly modern about them. As so many times before, I owe thanks to Miss Moss for making me find this. And I know I’m not the first one to reblog about it either, I’ve seen them in quite a few places in the last weeks.
