{inspired by} niki jones

I completely fell in love with everything from Niki Jones, an online shop that specializes in beautifully detailed homewares and quality furniture.

Their philosophy is also really admirable; they support developing countries by keeping traditional craft skills alive. Their patterns and styles range from Uzbek and Icelandic, to Moroccan and Suzani, creating colorful and unique combinations.

Take a peek and tell me which is your favorite! Personally, I want all the pillows :)

anita dominoni

Anita Dominoni is a Brazilian artist whose life-like pencil portraits are collaged with tons of textures and layers that remind me a lot of Dadaism in the 1920's. Nostalgic, yet modern.

I am drooling over these illustrations by the Swedish artist Linn Olofsdotter. She has a very unique style that incorporates collage, drawings, computer illustration and textures along with vibrant colors and surreal images. Love love love!

Artist Spotlight

Shuxin Liang is an artist and graphic designer from Southern China who now is living in Melbourne. Her style is inspired by the organic and natural world conflicting with the urban environment.

"Materials and textures intrigue me and I have an almost obsessive need to create... I love nature, I like birds and their songs, and I want to use my artworks to express to my audiences not only a sonic experience, but also my own self-identity as a channel by which to encode this sonic resonance."
-S.L.

If I could somehow put my feelings into cohesive sentences, that's almost exactly what I would say about my work too. Her work instantly inspired me, and now I feel that same obsessive compulsion to create something.

I couldn't choose just a few pieces because I like them all so much...so apologies for image-overload.
