While working on an art show about air and water, Los Angeles-based artist and designer Jim Darling developed an interest in the views from aeroplane seats. “I got thinking about the window seat: how special it is and how it can be taken for granted,” he says. “These expansive views can be very humbling.” Darling started recording the landscapes he saw with photographs and on Instagram, recreating them later as paintings using layered woodwork, acrylic and aerosol. “Everyone is fascinated by flight, and for now aeroplanes are how we get to experience it. At some point on each flight I’ve been on, I think about sitting in a chair in the sky, and it seems crazy every time.” text by The Guardian

The Domsai pots designed Matteo Cibic, which look like little space creatures, come in a few different shapes and colors. The domes feature little holes on their bottoms to let fresh air in, and the designer reminds owners to water the plants (according to him, they only need a few drops of water a week to live in these conditions) and to keep them out of direct sunlight in the summer.
Born in S.Korea and living in Paris, Jung-Yeon Min works at the edge of surrealism and abstraction.
"The main characteristic of my works is a kind of duality which finds many ways to express itself: abstract versus realism, ubiquity, diachronicity, microscopic and macroscopic, and so on. I’m always trying to engage in extreme or contrary dialogue. In abstract compositions, some hyperrealistic figures will make you try to find some kind of space, but you will keep wondering if you really have to see it that way, because something flat will try to impeach you. Somehow, you will feel like you are hanging between two worlds."
Andy Lee is father of two wonderful girls, Creative Director, film maker, obsessive photographer, painter and manic doodler.
I've been taking pictures most of my life, but started it a little more obsessively about ten years ago when i was filming a documentary for a charity in Ethiopia. I had an old Hasselblad film camera with me and between scenes I started to photograph everything around me. From that moment on I was hooked. The joy I still get from seeing an image projected onto ground glass, or the smell of developer is enough to keep me shooting with a smile on my face.
