Oh, man. This patchwork-inspired drawing would make such a lovely area rug.

With a name like Butt Johnson, you almost have to be an artist, yes?

University of Michigan paper engineer Matt Shlian creates the most astounding drawings I’ve seen in some time. They seem to move off the page and float to meet your eye.

Stunning.

Check out the rest of his portfolio; his drawings are worth a serious peek.

My dear friend Kate Neckel emailed me yesterday to share her latest doodles  — on the wall of room 1208 at Ace Hotel New York, no less.

She writes:
While creating this world on the wall, Ace guests and friends and staff dropped in to tell me about their fave Ace things. It was perfect since the people of the Ace really make everything come alive.

For this? Ace Hotel is now even higher on my list of fave places to crash.

Alyson Fox has some new work up and I’m enamored (as usual) with her figure drawings. This gal can do no wrong.
