Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba

This is one of Ev’s recent ceramic sculptures…

“Others dream alone. This piece speaks to the greater power of collective visioning and the realization of communal imagination. Individual dreams come in many sizes—common dreams move well beyond measurement.”

I love these conceptual illustration-compilations which strive to “investigate elements of mental disorder…” See more here.

Read my lips…

Vancouver, Canada

My friend Jennifer Romita has been working on lips lately… really large lips. Jennifer is an Italian-Canadian visual artist living and on the West coast. Her work ranges from large scale paintings to digitally-created contemporary imagery, often with a focus on aspects of longing, the concept of “self,” and the human condition.

You can see more of Jennifer’s work on her website here or connect with her on Facebook here. I posted some earlier work by Jennifer back in 2011, here.

And, by the way, she takes commissions…
