Although originally from Ohio, artist William Eadon is now based out of my own backyard, lovely Williamsburg. With a style that is both whimsical and a bit chaotic he fits right in. That said, some of his photographs are pretty incredible. And speaking of style, when asked who his style icon is his answer was, “I like looking at children. They have style. Style always comes from within.” Aw. Check out more of his work here.

Two words. The first ascribed to the harsh realities – as in lost loves, the shallow value-system of a consumer driven society, the negative sensationalism inherent in mass media, and the hypocrisy in politics.

I find that when you look into the eyes of animals you see as much *soul* as you do in humans’. They are what connects us.
Marion Bolognesi is a Brooklyn based painter and designer. In this watercolor series, titled ‘eyes’, she gets right to the point of human expression, focusing on the eyes, leaving it simple yet fascinatingly colorful. Dig how she let’s the paint run. Eyes, fluidity, vibrancy – it all works.

You’re sending me to the madhouse Mister.
He could be considered a renaissance man; he is after all a playwright, novelist, actor, photographer, artist, and socialite. The only arrow that might point away from that category is the one in which he was sued for *seducing* Mrs. Bettencourt. Maybe lady killer should go on the list as well.

"And to feel that the light is a rabbit-light,
In which everything is meant for you
And nothing need be explained;
Then there is nothing to think of. It comes of itself;
