heads in trees

Check out the painting, illustration, screenprinting, graffiti, sculpture and street art of Polish artist Wojciech Kołacz, also known as Otecki. I love the sense I get that he has his own personal, elaborate folklore.

Justin Richel's illustration of a pile of chairs, with tea pouring reminded me of Julie Morstad, who also has done illustrations of piles of household items and tea paraphenalia. It seems to me that both are trends in contemporary illustration. For more images which make me think of a tea party run amok (and a treat), check out Richel's Whirling Dervish installation.
