More Olly Moss love. This guy’s the best.

Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, 1480, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
This painting, which derives its subject from Homeric literature,
and from Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Fasti,
is a return to classical paganism, with allegorical overtones.

Botticelli’s large scale paintings are probably the most impressive work I’ve ever seen in person; the color and contrast still pops after 500+years. Viewing Birth of Venus or Primavera from a couple feet away is far more compelling than craning your neck over a ten-deep crowd to see the tiny Mona Lisa behind glass. No disrespect intended to Mr. Da Vinci.

Dream Diary - 17/10/09 (via Olly Moss)

Olly Moss is a British illustrator who I’m somewhat obsessed with. His film poster reimaginings, his t-shirt designs, his Saul Bass homage poster for Lost, pretty much anything that he posts to his Flickr account. This is today’s post, a graphic illustration of a dream he had.

Pure talent.

The coffee craving this just brought on was truly intense. Adios, internet.

Charlie Allen Chevron Advertisement (via leifpeng)

While wandering through the intricate Footnotes of Mad Men tumblog, I came across a reference to the illustrator Charlie Allen, and, eventually, to a Flickr set of his work. Fascinating stuff here. Even better - he’s blogging away furiously in his late eighties.

Vandalog in Berlin

Berlin is home to the best street art that I’ve seen anywhere…by a factor of ten. Blu is amazing.
