my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Tristram Lansdowne's Watercolors.

I can't get enough of Tristram Landsdowne's paintings of abandoned buildings, machinery, shacks, etc. He captures these urban casualties to a tee, right down to making the graffiti look as if it had been tagged after the painting was finished. Awesome.

Tristam's show Entropical Paradise is currently up at Le Gallery in Toronto. In February, he'll have a solo show at Joshua Liner.

Allyson Mellberg-Taylor & Jeremy Taylor.

Check out these drawings by wife and husband team Allyson and Jeremy. Collaborations in general always really enthrall me, but when you add deer, slugs, rabbits and weird diseases hey now! I'm in! Working in only non-toxic, plantbased, and ecologically responsible mediums, Allyson and Jeremy are committed to being socially responsible. So committed to keeping things earth friendly, they're writing a book together on non-toxic and ecologically responsible art-making. Check out their blog for art updates and life in their garden.See more of their work on Cinders.

Ann Toebbe on 20x200.

This print by Ann Toebbe makes me so excited about the fall/winter. Getting all cozy by a fire with some cocoa, kicking off the wet booties and getting toasty! That's all. I heart 20x200.

Distillate: Made By Hand.

I think it's clear we're all broke. Times are tough for sure for most people I know. With the holidays fast approaching it's hard to not hit panic mode about what to get. Buying handmade is a great way to support artists and give something totally unique AND not spend bank. Distillate, an online Australian site that catalogs an enormous amount of awesome products is a great place to begin your shopping this year. Their Made By Hand section is chock full of gems and priced just right. ***The above photo from Pin Pals, featured on Distillate.***

Joao Ruas at Paper Tiger.

The ephemeral look of this print by Joao Ruas at Paper Tiger is so soft and lovely, it almost makes me sleepy. How can you refuse a little waif snuggling a turtle? Totally speaks to the little mermaid in me for sure. Only a 100 prints available.
