Hua Tunan: Creative chaos and artistic order


From walls to canvases, Hua Tunan has etched his name as one of the most promising young artists around. His paintings are manifestations of his constant experiments, and each piece is simply impressive, dynamic and eye catching. Trained in traditional Chinese art, he skillfully manages to combine centuries-old techniques with the modern styles of Western graffiti.

I first found out about Hua in 2012 when I came across a video of him painting a lion's head mural in Foshan. The first twenty-five seconds show the artist applying a coat of black paint, but my interest wasn't stirred until he started to splash some vibrant colors onto the wall. His process is somehow chaotic, but that what makes his creations exhilarating.






Follow Hua on Tumblr and Instagram to see more of his explosive paintings.

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.

These peg dolls would make a cool nursery decoration for Trekkies

I'm so dad of a little girl. Look at me posting about toys and kids apps more frequently now. Anyway, I really love this Star Trek Enterprise plaything. It's made of 100% wood and features characters from The Next Generation . It's smooth, built to last, and perfect for little hands. I'm not just sure if it's still available for purchase on Etsy.

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.
