Over a year ago, I wrote about the work of my talented friend and former schoolmate Andy Detskas, and it’s time to check up on his work again. The Chicago-based designer and artist has been painting more robots and ghosts onto vintage pastoral paintings. The compositions are becoming more complicated, with tighter incorporation of his characters into the landscapes.
You can purchase Andy’s work in his Etsy shop, check out his process and inspiration on his blog and, if you’re in Chicago, see his work at Haystack Vintage.
Wow, these are really strange and really great! Have you ever considered adding your characters onto paint-by-number paintings? That might have an interesting effect, too.

Leslie, I don’t know how Andy would feel about a paint-by-number painting being used as his canvas, but I love that idea. I’ll pass it along!
