Interior Landscapes by Ann Toebbe

Yahtzee by Ann Toebbe

Ann Toebbe was born in Cincinnati, educated in Cleveland, NYC, New Haven, and Germany, is now living in Chicago. Her work, rendered from memories of her Midwestern upbringing, mythologizes domestic life and its accoutrements, without including people. A few of her paintings are available as prints via 20×200.

Dispatchwork in Berlin

Jan Vormann strikes again, this time in Berlin, where he’s patched up some WW2-era holes in buildings with Duplo. Using children’s tools to fix problems created by adults? There is something absurd but beautiful about that.

Illustrations by Janine Rewell

Trip to Volga by Janine Rewell for Mondo Magazine

Helsinki-based graphic designer/illustrator Janine Rewell studied at the University of Art and Design Helsinki and at RISD and now creates lovely [and silly!] illustrations for magazines, events, and packaging. Her work reminds me a bit of another Finnish illustrator — Sanna Annukka.

Serigraphs by Evan Hecox

Montauk by Evan Hecox

Evan Hecox is a Colorado-based artist whose work focuses on the complexity and isolation of urban environments. Compare Hecox’s work with the cityscapes of Katsuyuki Nishijima, Mark Coomer, and Paola Serrao.

I LEGO N.Y.

Oh, my… The Lego shenanigans just keep coming and coming and coming, this time courtesy of Berlin-based illustrator Christoph Niemann in his latest piece for the NYT.

Dispatchwork by Jan Vormann

Fun with Duplo! Berlin-based Jan Vormann “repairs” brick walls with colored blocks as part of his Dispatchwork installation project. Above is one of his walls in Bocchignano, Italy, and below is Tel Aviv, Israel.
