Great artwork for sale, including these hand-drawn matchboxes by Lisa Congdon.

Came to my attention because she has also started a Collection a Day blog.

Cool concept. Working Proof partners with artists, they sell good looking artwork with a percentage going to different charities including Doctors without Borders, Suicide Prevention, etc.

Wonderful collage sculptures by Sarah Bridgland.

Really fun series of affordable paintings, sculpture and other odds and ends for sale over at Switcheroo.

Collage is one of those art forms that I think that I have always been attracted to visually, but I have never really tried my hand at it. The great thing about looking around at different artists is that there are some who go beyond just clipping together vintage bits and have started to create a really rich language that transcends simple nostalgia.

Charles Wilkin is one of those whose works soars, he creates pieces that are whole, even though they are made up of a ton of parts and textures. Great stuff. I was busy grabbing a few samples of his work when I saw the work that he and Pentagram did for PS 186……amazing work, way to make a space come alive. Nice job.

1. With a website name We Love Hot Waffles how could you go wrong.

2. Turns out rather than hot syrup and batter, there are a great collection of photographs, capturing really subtile moments. Great color and variety.

3. They also pull together even more photographers to create Ahorn magazine, which I have not had a chance to go all the way through, but it looks amazing.

Fun experiments with pens tied to balloons, creating random art.

 Maurizio Pellegrin creates some great artwork. The collections of items in Current Work are wonderful, especially the black and kraft paper.
