Eilen Itzel Mena is a Los Angeles based artist with a focus on abstract expressionism, surrealism, spirituality and the African diaspora. The cartoonish style looks elementary at a glance, but her paintings and drawings are gateways into a world populated by the provocative juxtaposition of a childlike imagination with adult thoughts and emotions. "Imagery in my work reflects personal dreams, memories, and spiritual experiences that have acted as clues to my self-discovery," she explains. "I include imagery depicting my ancestors in order to showcase the role they play in my understanding of purpose and legacy." Eilen grew up in the Dominican Republic and received her B.A. Fine Arts degree at the University of Southern California in 2017. She has participated in many prestigious national and international exhibitions, and her work has been featured in various websites and publications such as the New York Times, Artnet and Hyperallergic, amongst others.

As parents, we want our children to have the toys that will foster their creativity and boost their imagination. LEGO sets are fine. But there are plenty of other options aside from those Danish plastic bricks. One of my daughter's favorite things to do is making toy figures out of discarded cardboard boxes. She also has a strong penchant for technology, so I guess this recent project by Studio Fantasio would really appeal to her. [h/t: designboom ]

Sarah Trahan is an artist and art educator originally from Michigan whose fabric and thread illustrations recently caught my eye. Mystical, soothing, and serene. That's the vibe I get from her art. Via her website: "Sarah Trahan is an artist interested in the intersection between technology and handmade materiality. Using an interdisciplinary approach, her work experiments with emerging technologies and investigates how unfinished or imperfect artifacts of these technologies can trigger reflection on our collective perceptions of labor, value, and authorship. Sarah is currently based in Ipswich, MA and serves as Assistant Professor and Digital Fabrication Studio Director at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. Her work is shown regularly in gallery spaces across the U.S. and is published internationally." Incredibly beautiful work, I would love to see these up close. Follow Sarah on Instagram to enjoy seeing her latest creations.

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.

My music taste can be regarded as anywhere from underground to mainstream. I wanted to feature Blueface's Traphouse , but I figured that a lot of people already knew about it and the video kinda messed up my brain. So here's a little less popular, more relaxing one. Enjoy!

I remember watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High when I was 12, and there were two things from that movie that I will never forget: Phobe Cates' jaw-dropping scene and The Go-Go's signature song We Got the Beat , which was used in the opening sequence. Beauty and the Beat , the group's first studio album, was one of the most successful debut albums of all time. It stayed on top of the Billboard charts for six straight weeks, earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and made music history as the first album by an all-female band to hit No. 1. Their story is being told in a new documentary feature simply called The Go-Go's , directed by Alison Ellwood and premiering on Showtime next month. Ahead of the film's release, the band will drop their first new recording in 19 years, Club Zero , out July 31st. Check out the trailer below.

During the heyday of MTV, when the channel actually stood for Music Television, there was an edgy animated sitcom called Beavis and Butt-Head . Created by Mike Judge, the show premiered in 1993 and featured a pair of teenage dimwits. They became pop culture icons, and the show spawned a big-screen spin-off. In 1997, after four years and 209 episodes, the original series went off the air. But Beavis and Butt-Head survived. There were reruns and a one-season revival back in 2011. Just recently, Judge signed a deal with Comedy Central to bring them back to television. Details of the new series are few right now but, according to The Hollywood Reporter , the King of the Hill director will write, produce and voice a reimagined version of the show for two seasons. "Beavis and Butt-Head were a defining voice of a generation, and we can't wait to watch as they navigate the treacherous waters of a world light-years from their own," said ViacomCBS' Chris McCarthy.

Hiroshi Tachibana's art reminds me of petroglyphs and prehistoric cave paintings, and I got hooked on his numerous works the moment I came across them through Instagram . His style looks elementary, but compelling. It's like being allowed to take a peak into his dreams.
