funky abstract brotha

can't help bein' funky, i'm the funky abstract brotha
-a tribe called quest

a blank wall has no place in your home. so make sure you add some fun art to that naked space. lately, i've been placing colorful abstract artwork in a cleaner, monochromatic palette. and although many people like to say, "i could do that" when looking at abstract art, my response is always "but you don't." at the end of the day, art is probably the most subjective luxury. so make sure you LOVE it. you need to walk by that piece every single day and react as though it's the first time you are seeing it. sometimes art can be purchased on the fly and sometimes it can be shopped around. just make sure you're not walking away from the one you LOVE.

natural curiosities.

what is art? christopher wilcox, of natural curiosities, tries to answer this question every day. although he hasn't found a specific worded answer, he has 60,000 images, textiles, textures, grasses, plants, presses, and pigments for you to answer it yourself. his artwork is impactful and thought provoking. each piece is meticulously handmade to order. unfortunately, photos do not do justice to these pieces, but they will suffice.

"cooking the books"
these books are actually baked in the LA sunshine.

you can submit your thumbprint to natural curiosities and they will enlarge it like so.

"fallen feathers"
the feathers are dipped in gold and then dropped in the frame, to maintain natural movement and flow.

these roses are preserved to maintain it's soft petal appearance.

"the book collection: cambridge"
a library for your wall.

incredibly edible mini madness.

holy mini meatballs! have you heard of the tel aviv based artist, shay aaron? he constructs these adorable miniature food sculptures that look incredibly edible. it's somewhat outrageous. his patience has to be commendable because the delicate detail is simply divine.

not your ordinary chesterfield.

chesterfield sofas are most commonly associated with libraries or studies or man caves. well, not any more! the chesterfield has a new spin to it. upholstered in velvets or linens, in bright colors or soft creams, the chesterfield is being placed in what was once an uncommon area for this tufted piece. it has rid itself of its uptight pretentious reputation.
