Inspiration: “Paradoxymoron” by Patrick Hughes


This is a pretty neat optical illusion painting by Patrick Hughes that is on display in the British Library’s Basement in London.

Anyone know of any other paintings like this?

Thanks Tanner for the link.

Photography Inspiration: Talia Chetrit


wow. another photograph has caught my eye. It’s by Talia Chetrit. I found it yet again on triangle triangle. It’s very interesting how subtle it is and how the hour glass slightly references an infinity symbol.

Photography Inspiration: Anthony Goicolea


In terms of being personally moved by art, for some reason photography only captures my attention every so often. I can appreciate it often, but not often does it really resonate within me deeply. I ran across this image on Triangle Triangle. It was taken by Anthony Goicolea. It is outstanding.

Inspiration: Saul Bass


I am loving this truthful video of Saul Bass discussing beauty, craft, and  aesthetic VS money, time, and business. And how everything that is beautiful costs money and time to make it so – it is cheap to make ugly things.

“It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.” – Saul Bass

enjoy -Sara

I love her very imaginative work. its crosses daily life with fantasy and child-like wonder. The mundane turned beautiful and magical.
