April 17, 2011I love the way Patricia Gillespie’s piece with the girl in the corner is a bit reminiscent of Orla Kiely’s stem print. The colors are fun and whimsical as well
Leah Delmer
April 17, 2011I love Lena Verderano Reynoso’s “Vegetable Lamb”. Super clever and the design is brilliant.
Kathleen King
April 17, 2011So many good pieces its impossible to choose, but choose I did. I like Jeanne Lorenz’s record prints, for the karma and the rock n roll.
Matt Cummins
April 17, 2011The painting of a Man and a Horse, by Lena Verderano Reynoso. It’s lovely.

Shelly Bennett
April 17, 2011I love Ben Belknap’s ceramic man with the yellow face (image 188). The face reminds me of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca-one of my favorite movies.

April 17, 2011I love Clare Szydlowski’s little paint-by-number landscape piece. How totally fabulous!
Zan Truman
April 18, 2011My favorite is YaChin Bonny You’s picture or print titled “Walt Reading Stories to Bunny. I love all the pink and chartreuse line work. The content cracks me up, especially the way the bunny head is tilted just so. This is one of the later images on the site, scroll down and check it out!
linda
April 18, 2011what Zan said! I also am a big fan of Crystal’s work. the flying heart is fab, and the little glitter window piece are great. Of course that Kerry Lee Johnson number at the top is a genius thing!
Ellen Holland
April 18, 2011Crystal Morey’s sculpture is beautiful and reserved.
Janey A.
April 18, 2011I love Crystal Morey female sculpture (image 18). It’s a bit haunting and sweet at the same time. The blades towards the base is beautiful added detail.
Miles Jensen
April 18, 2011My favorite piece is Ben Belknap’s image #143 of the Green Head.

April 19, 2011I am a big fan of the addition of Thomas Christopher Haag to the artists here; I was lucky enough to get #21 in my box yesterday!
Anouk
April 19, 2011Art by Crystal Morey is my favourite piece! The little sculpture of a feathered, winged body with a woman’s head. I think it’s beautiful.
Zibby
April 19, 2011I love Kerri Lee Johnson’s octopus at sea with a ship… It so cute and charming and reminds me of the background to an amazing puppet show. And if there is one thing I love it’s puppet shows… Second being octopi!!!
c. sylvester
April 20, 2011Anything and everything by Masako Miki, but especially image #15…
rcagan
April 20, 2011I really love Pete Glover’s Rub on Letters. awesome.
Jake
April 21, 2011Ben Belknap’s sculptures are great. Would love to hang one on a wall.
Janey A.
April 21, 2011I like YaChin Bonny You’s piece #175, it reminds me of some of my best craigslist finds.
Moriah V.
April 21, 2011I love Lena Reynoso’s piece of the man with the horse. The reds are beautiful, and it would make a perfect gift for my horse-loving dad (but I would be tempted to keep it for myself!).
Zan Truman
April 21, 2011Thomas Christopher Haag’s work is all really wonderful, especially the one with the horse and word “detach” - it is super cool. He is an Art Star.
Moriah V.
April 21, 2011I really like Renee Decarlo Johnson’s colors and designs! # 26 is really sweet with all those fabulous circles.
c. sylvester
April 23, 2011I just love Ryan McJunkin’s piece, image 57.
Melissa Slattery
April 25, 2011Image 441 is so very strange-I love it
Melissa Slattery
April 25, 2011Oops, forgot artist name: Image 441 by Eric Sanchez is my favorite.
Janey A.
April 25, 2011I like Ryan Mcjunkin’s charcoal drawings. I can never do that kind of work without completely coating myself in charcoal smears.
Aaron L.
April 25, 2011I really like Masako Miki’s piece (126 of 470) with the color sphere and the deer hanging from the ropes. It feels very transformative, like the deer is about to be absorbed by the sphere.
Jeffrey Dean
May 5, 2011Alissa Goss creates intellectual abstracts, landscapes of interpolation and extrapolation, repetition to the point of familiarity and back to alien again, challenging like a relationship that lasts for decades, organic and evolving, beautiful, horrible, ever fascinating. (Image 429 of 470)
carole
May 6, 2011Kelsey Robinson’s piece of orange floating coral and bird in flight made me escape to another place in time. That type of genuine pleasure and admiration for another’s artistic effort doesn’t come frequently enough. Artists that grab their viewers into their work and make them think about why they really are visually attracted to what is before them is the epitome of being present.
So, thank you Kelsey Robinson.

The purple coral and heart shaped/colored object make me nostalgic for my childhood. I grew up on a tropical island and miss the beach life.

I’M ON A BOAT to NIHON!
Origami is a favorite past time of mine. Not sure if I ever made a 1000 cranes, but I have many sitting around the house. I have much love for Webb’s paintings of these paper objects.

i like art that makes me say holy shit.

May 8, 2011Matthew Pugh image 5 evokes emotion and your imagination. Is the person wearing armor similar to a bird? Was the individual eaten by something and miserable, stuck inside this creature for eternity? Great detail.
Vanessa
May 8, 2011Adrian Van Allen - Image #358
such an awesome print on handmade paper. this piece is just lovely.
Melissa
May 10, 2011I just love all things by Shannon Ingraham.
If I’d have to chose one peice, it would be image 443 (the old man with his beard) or 416 (the mushroom.) oops, that is 2 but all her stuff is just so great!
Martina
May 10, 2011close call between thomas haag’s horse and masako miki’s dear-creature. winner: deer from birds eye perspective with dramatic shadow (#273). mythical and mysterious, subtle juxtapositions. what’s next drama, calm or upset?
love it!
Melissa
May 11, 2011Fire study (birds on a wire) by Alison O.K. Frost is also really nice. Brings me into a daydream!
Janey A
May 12, 2011I like how funky kelsey Robinson’s work is. I especially like the coral from #22.
Janey A
May 12, 2011I received some of Renee DeCarlo Johnson’s stuff from a past subscription and it looks lovely.

May 12, 2011Lena Verderano Reynoso’s overjoyed Wright Brothers makes me smile.

Image 367 the fox is really cute.
Camille Kerr
May 14, 2011I’d say my favorite is Matt Reynoso’s apple. Right now, anyway. And I love so much that Lena does.
Nathan K
May 14, 2011I agree- Matt’s apple, the first one particularly, is probably my favorite.
Janey A
May 16, 2011Jeanne Lorenz #82 is so whimsical!
Melissa HaHaHa
May 16, 2011My favorite, well, I am smitten with all of his work, is by Thomas Christopher Haag. In particular, the piece that features a horse/dog type of creature with a puppet on one hand. The words “moving forward” and “process” give it a positive tone. The colors and layers are BEEEAUUUTIIFUL.
Melissa HaHaHa
May 16, 2011The pop art nature of Matt Reynoso’s “Billboard Revisited” is delightful. Plus I like the techniques he used. Like yeah.
Melissa HaHaHa
May 16, 2011Renee Johnson’s work is gorgeous. I like both pieces. The pieces have 12 blocks, each with a different style/color way and they work so well together. Intriguing.
Danna
May 16, 2011I love Ryan Mcjunkun sketch of a woman sitting with her back facing the viewer. It reminds me of Klimt’s sketches, it’s very fluent and intimate.

May 17, 2011Fire Study (Travelers) by Alison O.K. Frost
is so beautiful!
Janey A.
May 18, 2011The salt/pepper shakes by Crystal Morey (#17) are lovely. I thought they were vases at first but just as charming.

Martin consistently creates interesting work from the standpoint of material usage and composition - a true mixed media practitioner whose sensitivity to his materials really shines through.

May 19, 2011I like the abstract work done in #83 by Jeanne Lorenz. The colors are fantastic!
Janey A.
May 19, 2011How haven’t I noticed Renee Johnson’s work on #88? Great use of color.
Janey A.
May 19, 2011#101 by Crystal Morey would have been a cool but subtle Christmas decoration.
Janey A.
May 19, 2011#134 by Tallulah Terryll would be a cool print for wallpaper.

The In — The Out
I don’t know where she is going, but I love the thought that she is getting out. the color theme is awesome too.

May 19, 2011#478 by YaChin Bonny YOu’s colorful collage looks better than any collage I could ever make
