Absorbed Into Color


I just started following Faye Pamintuan on Instagram and knew right away that I'd been missing out . Her paintings are intense and they feel like they are product of fever dreams. Some look so full of joy, while others are stark and gloomy. Faye's art depicts the moment in which we watch and wait, unsure of what is to come.

The shapes and colors that the Filipina artist puts on canvas and on paper are simply explosive. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but they're relevant, dynamic, and truly mesmerizing.

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.

Beautiful hand-crafted books by Arion Press

Anthony Bourdain visits San Francisco's Arion Press , one of the last shops in the world where an entire book is created by hand. Blocks of text are assembled from cast typefaces. Pages are printed one at a time on centuries-old letterpress printing equipment; the pages are stitched together on the spot. Two to three limited edition books are published per year. Each is conceptually unique. [h/t: Sploid ]
