PHOTO SHOOT farewell, July...

The fever dream days of summer are waning, and in these hasty, hazy days to come, we weave in the threads of scholar-chic realness.  

Get out your pens and pencils, children, 
and prepare to take notes: 
 Vague School is now in session.

Friday Findings: ART

So much good art happening everyday on this tiny planet!  

And thanks to the miracle the interweb, my exposure to it is limited only by the hours in a day.

I'd like to share with you now some Favorites Findings of mine, of late.

... I do hope you'll enjoy!

1. CEREN KILIC :

{ Istanbul, Turkey based artist Ceren Kilic manages to elegantly balance images of the past with a futuristic, intergalactic aesthetic.  I love the colors and the minimalism. 

works available for purchase here. }

2. RANDY GRSKOVIC :

{  Randy Grskovic is a talented guy all-around, but his ingeniously simple vintage photos, manipulated analog-style, really caught my eye.  I love/hate it when something is so basic in design that I wonder why I haven't thought of it myself... but in this case Mr. Grskovic's art is a true inspiration-- no hatin' here!  see more of his works here. }

3. JENN MANN :

{ Jenn Mann is a prolific artist.  She employs smoke, petals, double imagery and a light hand to create that dreamy vibe.  check her out here and here.   }

hope you found some new art crushes.

th-th-that's all, folks.
