Gold Fishin’
I’m seeing a “school” of goldfish artwork swimming in this week. Goldfish are a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, plus they’re just so cute. Spend a few minutes with a fish and you’ll see just how much personality they really have.

Color Story
Cocoa

Through the Lens
This Week in Photography
Let’s take a moment to meditate on the photos of 27MM. I use the word “meditate” due to the peaceful and balanced nature of Enric Gener’s (aka 27MM) work. Born on an island in the Mediterranean Sea, Enric has always drawn inspiration from the relationship between marine life and humans.

Artist Spotlight
AnaiGreog | Constanta, Romania
Vivid color feast. Emotional stimulus droplets. Those are a few of the snap responses I have when I attempting to explain the work of AnaiGreog. Their work is characterized by interesting psychedelic kaleidoscopes where shape and color dance freely. Described as a love affair between Illustrator and Photoshop, these images come from a sincere love of “sharing.”
