Stephanie Dowell paints lovely pictures of flowers, waterfalls, landscapes, cats and poodles. She also does some great drawings using gel pens. Remember gel pens?! I've been thinking of using gel pens in my own work, and she has definitely inspired me even further.

Let Them Eat Cake

CAKELAND by Scott Hove

The artist Scott Hove created the (inedible) Cake Vault installation entirely out of acrylic media, paint, wood and cardboard. I've no idea where this work was exhibited but you can take a virtual tour of it here.
Hove described the project as

"a sculptural installation resembling a collection of perfect delicious cakes-- wall mounted, hanging and standing-- a walk-through cake environment complete with its own lighting. It is a sweet refuge, an endless kaleidoscopic landscape of cake, a respite from the grinding realities of the outside world."

Words cannot begin to describe how much I love this.

The 21st Century was supposed to be a LOT more fun.

I'm in love with this image but I have no idea where it's from. Any ideas?
