Paintings and drawings by Juan Fernando Escobar

I love flickr as much as I love Swedish massage. It is so easy to discover so many beautiful photographs, inspiring videos, and stunning pieces of art. Colombian visual artist Juan Fernando Escobar has an impressive collection of paintings and drawings on his flickr page, and I'm quite ashamed to say I only discovered his work recently.

According to his profile, Escobar's work "explores the possibilities of painting and drawing as a media to build images that allows references identification of art history and the evocation of situations around them. This way it gives rise to a series of signaling that review the events of the aesthetic experience and blurs the boundaries between art and artistic mediation."

Below are some of my favorites.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

'Star Wars' cutaway illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!
