When I was a child, my Nana owned a cockatiel just like Jarra (photo above, right) named Vito. We taught him to say ‘pretty bird’ and ‘turkey bird’ (I’m not so sure where that term came from). So when I saw these delightful portraits from Leila Jeffreys I was instantly won over.

I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog recently and the graphics were terribly ancient looking yet so nostalgic. The work of Veronica Graham utilizes video game graphics to create wonderfully detail maps depicting various landscapes and territories.

Artist: Brendan Monroe

Brendan Monroe paints his vision of our world with inspirations rooted in science. The quality of his painting reminds me a lot of contemporary marbling with the thick wave-like lines. I really love his little sculptures, especially the dude made up of dried paint scraps. Brendan offers a small collection of zines from his shop. I just ordered copies of Islands, Islands N. 2, and Between Here and Here; I can’t for them to arrive!
