Image September 8, 2009 Art Studio 3

I came across some unique artwork done by a Los Angeles artist in chalk. The drawings are so simple and feature wheeled, human powered transportation devices (bicycles, tricycles, wagons, etc.) drawn in chalk.

And not just for kids, they also have canvases that work for couples

One of my favorite design blogs is Young House Love. Its written by two young people that essentially fell in love with their first house.

Most of you may be familiar with the works of Pablo Piccaso, but have you heard of the artist, Chincoteague Minnow? Chances are you haven’t, but their works are very similar to eachother. Chincoteague Minnow may not share the same name recognition as Picasso, but he does have something that makes his paintings a bit
