Hit me up on the email if you’re thinking of going and want to meet. This should be pretty cool.
A series of works that straddle nature and urban decay (humans are noticeably absent), by Josh Keyes. Well worth a look.
Tebe Interesno’s work makes me happy.
Wood tops that you insert your favorite pen into to create your own abstrations.
Check out more at Thomas Forsyth.
They were available at Etsy, but are now sold out – apparently more are on the way.

Ink + soapy water on paper, by Charlotte Sullivan.
Lovely work, repped by Blum & Poe here in LA. There’s also a nighttime landscape on there that feels like it was taken by the evil, bat-obsessed cousin of Ansel Adams.
Semiconductor Films has an incredible body of work. Magnetic Movie – a visualization of magnetism as described by NASA scientists – is one of my favorites.
ShowStudio has a series of slow-motion films by fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø called Perroquet. Put on a Tim Hecker record and watch. Gorgeous stuff.
Skateboarding in the dark, with timed exposures. Her paintings are worth a look too. Go there.
Pandemonium on the Potomac – typeset, inked and pulled by hand. Available at Etsy.
Alex is a good friend of mine, and he happens to have a new show opening up this weekend. If you’re in Los Angeles, swing by William Turner Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica this Saturday (10/11) at 6:30. There will be fine art, refreshments, and smart, sexy people.
Check out his website at vaguestudio.com as well.
A series of paper sculptures from Jen Stark. No, that’s not 3D.
Not sure of the photographer’s name (it’s just given as CDR), but there’s a really nice portfolio of images on expired SX-70 film up on Polanoid.
Your iPhone wallpaper is boring. Get some free ones at Poolga, and hang with the cool kids.
Image from a series of Lee Mawdsley’s personal work based on high speed photography. It’s nice to see the idea of high-speed photography used with such a graceful approach.
Mike Sacks has a series of photographs of television that capture comedy, absurdity and emptiness in equal measure. Meant to be viewed as a series.
I’m currently lusting over Erik Natzke’s generative work. These two reminded me of details from early Jackson Pollock, before the drip paintings.
Benedict Redgrove has a wonderfully desaturated portfolio that’s worth spending 10-15 minutes staring at.
