Really enjoyed these pieces from Allison’s 2008 portfolio. Gracious, I’m in a minimalist mood this week, yes?

I love black/white artwork, and I especially love that this piece looks like it was created with charcoal pencils, hated, and then promptly destroyed.

Beautiful.

(psst… It’s actually acrylic paint!)

Caroline Gaedechens‘ drawings are like charcoal-covered pretzels. (Which I mean as a major compliment).

Also, how beautiful are her color schemes? Like a rainy day on the coral reef or something.

Also again, bears are the new owls. Quote me on that. Wings are so overrated.

Whoaaaaaaaaa. Love this piece.

Kellyann Burns + charcoal – technicolor = This is Sand.
