Incredibly realistic paintings of moshers by Dan Witz

Dan Witz is a talented artist from Brooklyn, New York who paints people and things with meticulous accuracy. The level of realism in his paintings is pretty darned amazing, and his mosh pit series accurately captures the chaos and energy of moshing music fans. Mosh pits were quite popular in the 90's and, during my teenage years, kids basically kick the living shit out of each other. I wonder if people still do that?

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness. Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
