Kustaa Saksi

I couldn't possibly explain it better, so I'll use his words: the illustrations of Amsterdam artist Kustaa Saksi are "a syrupy disarray of elements: playful, paradoxical, often over-glossy, inviting, troubling, messy, and yet strangely clear".




Shoe

Amsterdam graffiti artist/designer Niels "Shoe" Meulman creates some of the most beautiful calligraphy and lettering I've ever seen.




Mandy Smith

Inspired by the distorted canal houses of Amsterdam and her love for paper, Mandy Smith created this incredible model home that looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie.





For my Friends in the Netherlands...

Evan Hecox has an upcoming show at the Chiellerie Gallery in Amsterdam, October 24-29. For those of you unfamiliar with the work of Hecox (I don't know how anyone could be, but I digress), visit his site here, and immediately rush to purchase prints here.




At least it existed at all

Stefan Sagmeister's installation for the Droog Event "Urban Play" in Amsterdam is, like all things Sagmeister, phenomenal. Or should I say "was" phenomenal. It's life was short-lived (under 20 hours after completion due to attempted thievery and subsequent police destruction), but I guess that's the risk carried with all public art. By the way, the final product reads "Obsessions make my life worse and my work better."
