The Sketch Crawl DC is tak­ing place in the nation’s cap­i­tal from 11am to 6pm. Hosted by Eliz­a­beth Grae­ber, it’s a day where you can explore the city ...

Barcelona-based artist Zosen works together and by him­self. Pair­ing up with fel­low artist Clau­dia Font, he is one part of Ani­mal Ban­dido, who focuses on cloth­ing that pro­motes per­sonal style and local economy. It’s really easy to get lost in all of the unique projects that Zosen is apart of. While all dif­fer­ent, he has ...

While I try to fea­ture work that’s made all around the world, some­times it’s nice to fea­ture work and events that are local to where I am. Inno­vate Love is a silent art auc­tion to ben­e­fit the Bal­ti­more Love Project, a non-profit orga­ni­za­tion com­mit­ted to con­nect­ing com­mu­ni­ties and peo­ple through­out the city. Bal­ti­more is a ...

Her work is really some­thing that should be viewed inti­mately, as the small details are what I really like about her work. Dee’s gives some expla­na­tion on her work: I never really know what I ...

Dur­ing my senior year of col­lege, a friend and I were walk­ing home when we passed by a wooden struc­ture with a beau­ti­ful draw­ing wheat pasted on top of it. Hav­ing never seen it before, we stud­ied it (entranced by its beauty!) for a while then went on our way. It was later removed from ...

If you can’t tell from my selec­tions lately, I am really a fan of shapes. I really love geo­met­ric shapes and the design that artists and illus­tra­tors have been mak­ing with them. Jesse Brown is an artist that I have recently dis­cov­ered via Mint and really enjoy not only his draw­ings, but his com­mu­nity work ...
