Peanuts-style art

Peanuts has been an integral part of many childhoods, and beyond the comic strip itself the character design really appeals to me. I like the Peanuts movie too, but not as much as my daughter. And I thought today's kids would have no interest in Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Peppermint Patty, Linus and Lucy.

If you like drawing, this easy, step-by-step tutorial will show you how to draw yourself as a Peanuts character. All you need is any device/app or even a pencil and paper. The video is also an advertisement for The Snoopy Show, which is now available on Apple TV+.

The Work of Mauricio Paz Viola

Self-taught Uruguayan artist Mauricio Ezequiel Paz Viola has a knack for blending shapes and colors in striking combinations to create abstract forms with an exciting curiosity surging through them. His style has evolved from realism, landscape and portraits in his youth to surrealism and expressionism. Since his arrival in Chile in 2008, he started to focus on abstract expressionism. Take a look at some of his colour-intensive, multi-layered paintings below, and don't forget to visit his website for an endless amount of inspiration. Artist statement: I would define my artwork as a manifestation of self, an extension of my spirit or sub-consciousness, which is still beyond my grasp and lies at the deepest sphere of pure self.

Eric van Straaten's 3D-Printed Statuettes

I can't remember when I first became entranced with Eric van Straaten 's 3D-printed sculptures. I think I stumbled onto his work through tumblr when I was searching for new artists to follow. Eric's attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the image of the eroticized child-woman is familiar throughout his work. Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it. Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...
