Who said sweaters were only for people and pets?



Leftover knitting scraps were the inspiration for Knitta, a global street/guerilla art group originating in Texas.


Want to join the group…visit Knitta for more information.

Digital photography and painting are merged to produce elusive qualities of time and space.

Labokoff has a blog and of course an Etsy.com shop, which you can visit here.

C, 24″x30″

Rondeau is a Canadian artist who is greatly influenced by notions of space, both physical and psychological. From her statement: “My art often deals with the duality of opposite concepts and ideas on an aesthetic and literal level. This is a very fine line of where many tensions emerge. I am a reporter of my time. I map spaces. I investigate personal and collective spaces, natural as well as constructed. I take different points of view, grounded or aerial, to transform and translate places, to question reality. I celebrate the everyday life and its inner beauty. I am glorifying the banal. Architecture devices fascinate me. Objects and light become mine. I mix and shift boundaries of mediums and logistic precepts.”
Rondeau will be at the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit in the heart of downtown Toronto, at Nathan Phillips Square. If you are in the city, this is a must!

We have been following this artist for a while now…always a favourite on Etsy.com. This is our art pick of the week.

Allusion is a print of an original drawing that was made of “pens, inks and markers.” Yellena’s pieces are full of life and clearly inspired by nature. We picked Allusion specifically because it reminded us of a fantastic party, where floral-like balloons line the ceiling…a magical fete.
