Art

South Carolina-based artist Hollis Brown Thornton brings us back to the '70s with his images of VHS tapes (Remember those? If not, we're way older than you!) For this week's CMYLK, we created Colourlovers palettes for a trio of his fun, colorful, and nostalgic works. The first piece is acrylic on canvas, and the other two are done in permanent marker on paper. Push play and let's go . . .

For this week's Design Milk Dairy curated art collection picks, I decided to choose Fall-themed iPhone cases. Those of you who just got a brand new iPhone 5 will certainly find yourself needing a new case. Here are a few cool-weather-ish cases that might strike your fancy.

Meet Pinch Food Design, dynamic designy duo of Bob Spiegel and TJ Girard, whose work we've admired for quite some time. I knew that one of my biggest passions seemed to be missing here on Design Milk: Food! Pinch is going to visit us each month with some delectable design for us to visually nosh on.... enjoy!

The Etsy shop, CRESUS artisanat, run by Japan-based artist Haruhi, is a needlepoint and knitting wonderland.

We've featured wall decals before but never ones that are from high-resolution photographs. These Wallflower wall stickers are from high-quality photos that are enlarged to enormous proportions and are a great alternative to wallpaper.

The Typometry poster from Brainstorm Overload plays on the classic eye exam chart (typometry / optometry, get it!?) but instead of testing your eyeballs, this clever poster tests your sight with the "eyes of a typographer."

I'm pretty excited that Society6 has introduced tote bags to their product lineup! As someone who often finds themselves in a place with no reusable shopping bags, tote bags are the best solution for me. I just stash a few in my car so I'm always ready. Here are some of my faves:

Networktopia is a piece that was developed over a two-day period by artist Kim Harty. During the demonstration/performance, she dripped hot glass strings onto a platform and slowly built the glass up into mountain-like sculptures. The topographical piece looks like delicately spun cobwebs of silk or sugar.

Leonardo Drew’s curse-worthy sculpture (It's true! While taking these photographs I heard three different visitors swear in amazement when they entered) is on view at Sikkema Jenkins Gallery in New York. Using thousands of wood scraps, he has assembled multiple towering wall pieces with a monstrous wall that snakes through all four rooms of the gallery.

Jim Schatz is back with an indoor/outdoor hanging "curtain" made of translucent porcelain. Called Happening Curtains, these sun-capturing orbs would make a great porch hanging, but could also be used as a room divider, over the inside of a window, or even on a wall as art.

Vaulot&Dyèvre created Nymphéa, a very dramatic hanging light fixture, for Paris-based Galerie Gosserez.
