Little Art, Great Message.

Street art doesn't have to be massive billboard propaganda. Kate Sokoler does the exact opposite with the mini street art.

100 Copies

A collection of art prints by avid cyclist and illustrator Thomas Yang, that not only feature, but also driven by, the passionon for cycling.


When asked what the story is behind each illustration, here is what Yang said:

Ride Your Love - "This is the very first design that I came up with. It's a view from the top of my office building looking at those bikes parked below. The shape of the saddle actually looks like a heart."

Recycle - "I 'googled' more cycling posters and I noticed lots of them talk about re-cycling. Without using words (that's the rule in my poster design) I manage to connect all the bikes into a circle which is similar to the universal icon of recycle (3 arrows that goes around)."

Skyway - "I remember reading, from a bike magazine, them talking about burning the fats and not the oil. So this is a direct translation. The more we cycle, the nicer our environment becomes."

As with cycling, speed is of the essence, so each piece of work is limited edition up to 100 copies. For $35, head over and get your print.

Art that Speaks Volumes

No, these are not seismic waves from a seismograph. Bespoken Art creates canvas art based on what­ever you want — a word, a phrase, a song, anything spoken!

They will cre­ate a cus­tom piece of art just for you. They use your own audio from a digital upload or through a digital phone recording and then transfer it onto a stretched canvas of your choice.

Jump into a Puddle of Color

And you get these rain boots designed for a contest for Dr Martens. A sure sign of the Spring season.

Combine a bold colour on a chunky boot and more likely than not it’ll overwhelm any outfit. But this sort of New Wave watercolour effect is a perfectly wearable, feminine option —and very springy. A great spring boot.

Beaches in Watercolor

Love the simplicity of these watercolor paintings with beach scenes.

Painted Trees of Colorado

I've featured the rainbow warrior and now here is an artist with a truly unique subject: Curtis Killorn paints trees - dead trees - in all the colors of the rainbow.

I paint dead trees in bright colors in the mountains of Colorado as public art. These trees have been featured in many local and regional newspapers and magazines and have really taken on a life of their own. I am now receiving requests from the community to provide my work on their properties.

Postcards from Google Earth

The surreal art of Clement Vala captured in screenshots straight from Google Earth. Zooming into Google Earth at just the right angle and it looks like these bridges are melting right into the world itself. Almost Salvador Dali-esque. Send a postcard.

The images are screenshots from Google Earth with basic color adjustments and cropping. I am collecting these new typologies as a means of conservation--as Google Earth improves its 3D models, its terrain, and its satellite imagery, these strange, surrealist depictions of our built environment and its relation to the natural landscape will disappear in favor of better illusionistic imagery. However, I think these strange mappings of the 2-dimensional and the 3-dimensional provide us with fabulous forms that are purely the result of algorithmic processes and not of human aesthetic decision making. They are artifacts worth preserving.
