Hattie Newman's delightful paper art

I recently discovered the work of Hattie Newman on tumblr and was immediately attracted to her intricate paper-cut designs. The British designer and image maker creates fascinating little cities entirely from paper that carry a sense of wonder and charm.

Hattie's originally from Devon, but now lives and works in London after studying illustration in Bristol. She enjoys painting too, but she thinks she haven't completely mastered the skill of it yet. While many of Hattie's creations may be miniatures, she has earned an impressive client base including Cadbury, Sony, Louis Vuitton, Honda, GAP, and The Guardian.

Visit Hattie's website and Bēhance page to view more of her portfolio.

If you're into vintage erotic art, follow Cold Meat

It's not just the pictures of celebrities in skimpy outfits that makes Instagram interesting. But if those are the only people you follow, then you are missing out. The social media platform is full of some of the most talented artists of the moment, but one account that truly caught my eye is cold___meat , which is dedicated to vintage pictures of BDSM art and erotica. The account has been cancelled several times, but it's alive and kicking and is showing no sign of slowing down. Dazed recently interviewed Daryl, the mysterious founder of Cold Meat, to learn more about his background, his fear of another shutdown, and his mission to make "formerly clandestine and underground erotica available to a wider audience."

Living Small, Feeling Infinite

Everyone likes a house with light. We like fresh air. We like the sun. This is the simple choice of any sane person. And this house in Osaka proves you can live small without feeling small. According to designboom , the site is only 45 square meters. It is narrow—just 2.73 meters wide. Yet inside, it feels anything but cramped. The architects skipped heavy walls and chose to build with transparency instead. A grid of full-height openings, framed in aluminum and glass, creates a rhythm of light and reflection. The result is a a home that breathes. Sometimes, living beautifully just means letting the sun in.

The Art of Nicola Samori

Does Nicola Samori ever underwhelm? The Italian painter and sculptor caught my attention some two years ago, when I stumbled upon his work on Artsy . Samori creates dark, Baroque-inspired oil paintings by layering and fusing images on canvas, wood or other objects. His work stems from fear, and his process involves "skinning" his painted figures with a palette knife or thinner and painting over the surfaces multiple times to achieve deep-seated results. "Peeling off the faces make it possible for all the neglected parts of a representation to come to light and, as far as I am concerned, they all work even better without any kind of control," Samori explained in a 2012 interview . "I don't know what it is that gives a person their identity, it's such complex matter. I definitely don't think a portrait can eventually give it back because you can always perceive its author behind its eyes; well, maybe others' portraits (even their removal,...
