If we're Facebook friends, you have already seen me share Every Single Word, a Tumblr account that edits major motion pictures down to the words spoken by people of color. Dylan Marron makes a powerful statement about the presence of non white speaking roles in Hollywood with his powerful edits.

Bansky's Dismaland opened this month and I wish I could fly across the pond to visit. They released a commercial for the artistic theme park this week that does it much more justice than the still images and GIFs that have been populating my social media lately.

Anna Malina is an talented artist who explores self identity through Polaroids, journals, and animated GIFS. I really love her dreamy, introspective work. Bringing the GIF – traditionally used for memes and other silly stuff – to her fine art practice inspired me.

This week's random page from one of my books. A reject print from La Sonámbula with some waxed paper – one of my favorites for book covers and end pages.

I have been chosen as one of the artists for Zatara Press' newest Group Book: Life, Love, Reality, Dream.

Francesco Tacchini has created an eerie, fascinating, floating globe that records and plays back the ambient sound in an environment.

I am crowning Myriam Dion as the reigning goddess of the xacto knife! She takes newspapers, one of the most disposable and forgotten of objects, and turns them into lace. Intricate, insanely detailed patterns emerge from the pulpy pages of the daily news. Although many individual pages stand on their own as beautiful works of art, it is her large scale installation pieces that take my breath away.

My weekly random sketchbook collage.

Dmitry Pisanko meticulously sorted and assembled thousands of NASA's images of Earth taken from the International Space Station and the results are spectacular.

Claire Morgan has a unique approach to sculpture. She combines natural objects such as butterflies, taxidermy specimens, and dandelion seeds with broken bottles and torn plastic to create graphic, impactful exhibits. I use exhibits deliberately, because her sculptures evoke butterfly collections or museum displays due to their meticulous construction.
