Into the Fire

I've been inspired lately by various artist's ability to create beauty with the most unexpected elements. Etsuko Ichikawa's fire glass paintings (also called pyrographs) are stunning. Handling molten glass while aglow at 2100°F, she loops, stretches and presses the smoking mass of lava atop paper to create abstract drawings. The creative process she goes through is mesmerizing. One day I would love one of these paintings in my living room! view her website here.

Gregory Euclide

Artist Gregory Euclide created the unbelievable cover art for Bon Iver's new album Calgary, which will be released next Tuesday. Gregory's landscapes are unlike any landscapes you have ever seen! absolutely stunning. The details of his relief paintings are so easy to miss at a small size. Check out some of his other work here.  Click on the piece below to view larger.

One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Each scene could be freeze framed and be a perfect photograph. I think this one will be tripping my brain out for the next week at least.
