I’ve recently enjoyed seeing artwork where photographs are used as the foundation for paintings. Charlotte Caron’s portraits are particularly beautifully executed with a mask-like effect. The artist says that the works “are trying to respond to a form of duality…ultimately creating an osmosis between the two mediums, between the animal and the portrait.” Found via I Need A Guide.

Méret Oppenheim was a Swiss Surrealist artist - her “Pair of Gloves” caught my eye. I think I would actually wear them. Simple ideas are often the strongest. Found via Mondo.

Jonathan Delafield Cook’s series of pigeon portraits are captivating - I especially appreciate the playful use of space in the compositions (and this pigeon’s hairstyle, of course). Found via the art room plant.

What a fabulous poster for TWA by David Klein (he created many great works for them - you can see more here). I love split-style illustrations like these. I also love the way that the sunglasses are being held up in front of the sun - nice touch. Found via Eight Hour Day.
