Painter Tom French just posted a number of new paintings in preparation for his upcoming exhibition titled Don’t Look Back at Zero Cool Gallery in London later this month. French’s acrylic works often depict couples in seemingly amorous relationships that create the optical illusion of a skull, pieces that walk the line between beautiful and unsettling. Just squint or take a few steps back from your monitor for maximum effect. You can see much more of his work on Flickr, and prints are available at Zero Cool. (by Christopher )
Pep Ventosa - The Brooklyn Bridge
Pep Ventosa’s work is focused on an exploration of the medium itself—deconstructing and reconstructing photographic images to create new visual experiences. He combines multiple photographs (in some cases, hundreds) into one image.

Analog Double Exposure Photographs by Florian Imgrund
it has felt like more than a few shy months of january
i have not forgotten you little indian boy
i measure you up in small doses
from ceramic dinosaurs to sparkling geodes
this hasn’t been easy
this has to be the hardest thing i have ever had to do
harder than moving
harder than living in this city
so i dare not dwell too often in the ocean of my past lover’s treasures
the geode sparkles bright in and out of my pocket but that was the idea of it all
wasn’t it?
it’ll be my birthday soon
and quite frankly, i wish you could be around for it.
ugh major melt
“The Mackerel,” 1903, Pablo Picasso
