Dante Terzigni is a Cleveland based illustrator and designer and he has a wonderful portfolio of illustration works. I really like how he puts geometrical shapes together to form striking compositions! His simple forms are offset by translucent textures, and I think this makes the overall effect so mesmerizing to see.

He has an Etsy shop too, and I like that he has various size options for his prints — especially the large ones. His style is bold, so obviously the bigger, the better! 😉

Google Art Project

Portrait of Joseph Roulin, Vincent Van Gogh

Milk can and apples, Paul Cezanne

The dream, Henri Rousseau

I’m really excited about the Google Art Project — it’s a unique collaboration between Google and some of the world’s most acclaimed art museums to enable people to discover and view more than a thousand artworks online in extraordinary detail. You can zoom into the artworks to see lots of details in each painting and it’s something that you can’t quite do, especially if you are behind some pesky velvet rope that keeps you far away!

What’s great is that the website holds lots of information about each painting featured, and is a wonderful resource for those who are unable to see the paintings in person.

I’m hoping that more works and galleries will be added soon — the list of galleries/museums are quite short and I’ve almost run out of paintings to see already! The project’s behind-the-scene videos are also amazing, and you can view them over on YouTube.

Stories of Bunnies

Because it’s the year of the rabbit I’ve been seeing bunny art everywhere and I have to say these portraits by Runaway Dreams are my absolute favorite!

Created by Julia and David of Mexico City, a self described “couple of designers/illustrators/crafters in love,” these stumpy little bunnies with their pint point eyes and fuzzy bodies (look how their hair looks electrically charged and stands on end!! eeee!) have me hopping with joy!

I love the apron of the The Little Chef and his hand held items which are as much weapons as cooking utensils, watch out for that stumpy bunny! Bet he makes a mean grilled carrot!

Or watch out for Marcel, The Mushroom Collector (who’s actually a felt bunny!) he’ll collect your heart too! Especially with his designer savvy wallpaper selections!

And The Perfect Pair You can’t take a carrot from a bunny! Also might be a weapon of choice, keep your eyes closed at night he might poke ‘em out while you’re sleeping!

Lots of love and safety glasses! This year of the rabbit’s going to be cute with an undertone of murderous intent (ok, maybe only if you’re a carrot!!)
