Sometimes you can almost see it on your own. Sometimes you feel it first, and by the time you look, it's gone. There's another world running parallel to ours, where many of the things we take for granted exist, yet in an entirely different manner. Allison Sommers, however, sees it all the time. And then she paints it so that others may see it as well.

Sometimes these worlds are calming, sometimes scary, sometimes they're hard to look at [at first] but are so compelling you can't help but be drawn in. And that's when she gets you. It's the details that are beautiful, it's the details that make you realize you're not in the straight world anymore, and it's the details that prevent you from wanting to leave.

Visit Allison's site HERE and remember that bit about not being able to leave.

    Everybody and their mom wants a painting by Canadian pop surrealist Alex Garant. Sure, you could grab an open edition print or even a hand-embellished print at an affordable rate. But a real-deal piece of original art from Garant is ideal.

    New artwork from 64 Colors is always a good thing. Cherry Baby is the latest painting from them and it is just as cute as it is sweet!
