The Ghosts of World War II's Past

Wow. As someone who adores history's personal side these photoshopped 

photographs by Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov put things into a really 

interesting perspective, and really blew my mind. The combination of old and 

new really allows you to appreciate the shared history of the ground you walk 

on in a whole new way. This collection is titled The Ghosts of World War II's Past. 

There a 20 photos to view, for all of them visit MyModernMet.

Illustration Inspiration: Matt Phelan

Matt Phelan ladies and gentlemen. (pause for applause) 

How could you not adore his loose whimsical style? 

This talented Philadelphia, illustrator/Author, uses a combination of pencil, watercolor 

and ink to capture these budding moments of real (sometimes desperate) emotion, 

(ie; look at that hamster eyeing up that sandwich, I could melt.) I love the loose lines 

and sketchy quality of his work. I also love the way he draws his children. Look at the 

large cheeks and tiny eyes. He manages so much emotion with so little drawn detail. 

Of his many illustrated books some include: The Seven Wonders of Sassafrass Springs 

(his first publication), The New Girl, and The Storm in the Barn (written and illustrated). 

The hugely talented Matt Phelan is surely an inspiration to my illustration. 

Many thanks to him for sharing his work with us.

Liz Miller's Magic Eye

I ran across Liz Miller's mixed media work last night and I kind of got mesmerized. 

Its kind of like those magic eye puzzles {remember those?} I got lost in them. 

They all grew faces and shapes, and personalities all their own.

Don't you just love the colors?
