i love this waterfall print from portland-based artist jon classen. i love the lines and the angles, and that color palette fits so cleanly with the themes of isolation and loneliness. i don’t think it was an accident.

purchase the print at the robot walrus and head over to jon’s website or blog to see more great work.

this color and black and white imagery from california artist eduardo cervantes, aka etsy seller eddyizm, are lavish with light; so lavish, in fact, that i feel guilty and indulgent while looking at them.

talented new york-based photographer harlan erskine shot his eerie convenience stores series in miami, and were taken with a large format 4 x 5 camera. harlan says that these lonely urban scenes speak to our demanding consumer culture, information overload and loss of local identity.
