the wonderful world of ikea

Have you ever walked through the Ikea showrooms, and thought to yourself, "I could live here"? Wedding photographer Christopher Gideon obviously did, and after a weekend trip to the mega-store, he and several of his friends made this idea into photographic reality in a comedic series depicting the fictional lives of Ikea showroom dwellers.

Cabinets de Curiosites

The surreally beautiful work of French artist Maissa Toulet came to me through a lucky page click. Her portfolio shows a range of media (from cut paper and plastic toy soldiers to glass orbs and taxidermy), and seems to come from an eccentrically creative mind. Her multimedia "Cabinets de Curiosites" range in theme and are wonderfully whimsical. I would love to spend a day or four exploring her permanent installation at Le Comptoir General in Paris.
