Packaging is an art in itself (and one that I can’t really master!) so if you’re anything like me, then INKKIT might just inspire you to at least try your hand at perfecting the skill. What I love the most? They make it so easy for you to mix and match (and covet!) packaging materials via their carefully put together collections – which is definitely a bonus for people like me who don’t know where to begin.
If you’re itching to fill a doodle book in with color (because you’ve already filled up all of your own, of course) – look no further than Doodlers Anonymous’ latest coloring book! It features 60 artists we all love, like Chris Piascik and Meera Lee Patel to Jim Bradshaw and Diela Maharanie, among many others. Get out your color pencils and grab a friend while you’re at it!

Amy Swartz is a Toronto-based artist who explores the idea of obsession — not only in the practice of art, but also in humanity’s perceived control over nature, life, and death. (via her About page) . Not only do I enjoy the sense of humour in her pieces – particularly her ongoing work for the Pest series, but I think it’s interesting to see the reactions to the pieces as well. I can almost imagine the artist gleefully putting together new characters in a Frankenstein sort of way!
The question then becomes (well, for me at least) would we treat these creatures any different if their heads were more like ours? Especially since these pieces are dealing with anthropomorphism on a whole different level.
What do you think?
