Holy awesome. This portfolio? Aretha Franklin sang about this portfolio.

I’m not normally a fan of retro art (I went overboard on the trend a few years ago, so I have a bit of an aversion), but by pairing pin-up and trophy wife images with modern techniques (mountains! geometrics!), Nat Nicklin has broken my “No Retro Rule.”

I expect at least one of her pieces in my home within the year.
[thanks for the tip, jc!]

p.s. If you love retro+geometrics (retrometrics?), pigcore has some fun ones, as well!

I don’t generally gravitate toward black and white art, photography or prints, but with Sam Brewster’s incredible patterns, can you really blame me?

Kyle Pellet sent the most glorious Flickrmail ever that involved a Germs t-shirt joke and some nice compliments.

Never underestimate the power of a Germs reference.

Also? Love this painting in a major way.

Oh, mountains.

I’m home from Salt Lake City after a lovely conference, and hey! Who knew? Turns out I DO love mountains. ;) I also love the fantastic people I met and listened to. Thanks, Kirsty!

Whoa. Maybe I’ll like real mountains more than I expected to…
