Work.Place is a great new project detailing the work spaces of artists and craftspeople in the Pacific Northwest by Portland photographer Carlie Armstrong. Be careful though, this site will suck you into its vortex of goodness and before you know it, you've spent an hour and forgotten that you have work of your own to be doing.

Right and Left Brain Unite!!
Okay...Bear with me here, because information about this artist has been difficult to find. Even on their own website. From what I can gather, their name is Tsilli Pines, they reside in Portland and they do amazing work. They have a TON of work in many different media on their site, but I'm especially in love with the stuff below, described as "topography of money in human consciousness". These pieces were made with pigment, vintage paper and cotton thread on rice paper, and the color palette is intentionally restricted to red and black: the colors of accounting.
