This print is by far one of my favorites right now and in fact, I bought it and it now hangs above my laptop at home. Artist Valero Doval is based in London and has a devastatingly interesting portfolio. I’m loving some of his newer work too – see Drawers, IncorporealEnergy and HiddenCompositions – and would buy them in an instant if only they were on sale.

Normally I don’t go for things that are ridden with deeper, darker associations, but set designer Gary Card’s Burning T was just too powerful to pass up. Created for New York Time’s Tmagazine, Card describes his work as “a burning effigy in a dramatic countryside setting” which “sounded like too much fun not to do.” Other inspirations came from The Wicker Man, a 1973 English cult horror film that features pagan ritual and is a film I will probably never, ever see.
“We lit it with a blowtorch,” Card continues, “and then ran for our lives.”
The result is one of the best sculptural pieces I’ve seen.

I like when the light in a photograph helps your other senses experience the scene. Like the light here makes me think of an evening towards the end of summer, with a light breeze, and the smell in the air that only comes about when the seasons are on the cusp.
And the woman in the yellow dress is just fun.

I currently have this photograph set up as my desktop background on my computer because I can’t afford to hang it on my wall. But it would be perfect for the wall above the dining table. The artist is Leigh Beisch, who I discovered via Modish: “They’re like fading memories or tiny semblances of a dream when you can’t quite remember all the details but you remember the lay of the land, the colors that stood out, the feel of the sun on your face, the sound of the waves or wind through the trees…”
Yes.

I love these prints that take modern, wishful stories and make them into whimsical portraits of two people who have never met.
