MORGAN: the gestural, very obvious hand of the artist strokes in these paintings is so refreshing! All of the above images from a project called "100 girls on cheap paper (in new york)" by Tina Berning.

CARRIE: Something about the vibrant color, the collage style, and the lady as subject matter made me think of Australian illustrator, Kat Macleod. I could look at her work all day!

what's on your mind?

MORGAN: This collage-like photo makes we want to permanently live in a dream state! Such fun, playful art by Tomi and Cherry!

MORGAN: Well this is slightly funny, it appears Carrie and I both turned this into yet another rainbow week! I had fun doing this one, I know not everyone loves bright rainbow-ey colors all the time, but for some reason, it's my default!

CARRIE: oil pastel stripes in some fun colors.

MORGAN: ahh such torture! I would LOVE to have this hanging somewhere (anywhere!) in my house! Carrie's post from yesterday made me think about stripes playing a role in fine art and that's when I recalled Jason Rohlf's amazing work (thanks to Megan for introducing me to his awesome paintings)! {currently showing in Chicago at the Judy A Saslow Gallery and many more works to be seen here }

Morris Louis

CARRIE: Some drippy stripes from American Abstract Expressionist painter, Morris Louis ( 1912-1962).

MORGAN: Another designer that comes to mind immediately when I think of stripes is Paul Smith. I imagined new clothing or rugs, but after checking out his blog, apparently one of his latest projects was designing the Evian bottle above! Cool, huh? (also visit paulsmithforevian.com for more fun images)

Missoni

CARRIE: When I think of stripes, I think of Missoni.

french bull

MORGAN: All designed with Jackie Shapiro's signature style, The French Bull tableware, kitchenware, and bedding constantly reinvents what it means to be a stripe!

CARRIE: I thought it might be fun to play around with stripes. These beauties are from Jeff Perrone via dear ada.
