EDITED: I've been an admirer of Eugenia Loli's collage work for a while now and in following her on Instagram have also been introduced to many of her talented counterparts, some of which I've included in the slide show (credits listed bottom left).

Her pieces especially captivate me, as does her story. I always find it interesting when winding paths eventually lead to creative and beautiful work like this.

Just a Juxta

Now chronicling thematic visual finds as they accidentally intersect on Pinterest.

Maria Pymachenko

I’m a bit ashamed to have discovering Maria Pymachenko’s art only recently. Her name was in the news when many of her works, housed in a Ukraine museum, were destroyed by Russian attacks. Between global honors, accolades from Picasso, being commemorated on a coin, and an asteroid named after her clearly I’m part of a minority living in the dark. She is so recognized that even a well-known textile brand copied her.

Booya

Come for the whimsy. Stay for the message. I’m immediately drawn to Angela Deane’s work — taking found photos and transforming them into surreal otherworldly oddities through selective painting (now that’s some old school photoshop).

Doodle Do

Envelopes, especially from junk mail, make for great scratch pads — to dos in a pinch, emergency grocery lists, don’t forget I love you notes. But man, Mikey Burton has taken it to the next level with his 100 Envelopes project.
