These paper masterpieces are by Michigan artist Matt Shlian. I am amazed at how Matt has transformed flat pieces of paper to 3D sculptures that have movement, structure, and depth.

Here’s a video showing how Matt’s paper sculptures can really move:

While Danielle Kroll‘s illustration below is full of images, it’s still quite a simple design because of her uncluttered black and white line drawings and repetitive shapes. I love it even more because it’s inspired by Danielle’s grandmothers’ houses. What a way to save some memories.

This is a wonderful idea: a three-sided marble vessel that can fly as a magazine, a planter, or a champagne ice bucket. Designed by design duo Chen-Williams for Creatures of Comfort, this is going on the year’s wish list.

I came to Mexico City for Zona Maco – the largest art fair in Latin America. The artwork was incredible.

While I had a lot of professional responsibilities and I didn’t get to visit the numerous museums I did get to do a bit of exploring in the neighborhoods of Condesa, Roma Norte and Polanco.
Mexico City reminded me a bit of Brussels – lots of different styles of architecture from many different decades – from 19th century to 70’s brutalist to hyper-contemporary. Unlike Brussels, Mexico City is enormous.
I hope you enjoy some of my snapshots…for “Cabaña Blanca”.
