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.

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.

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
