like someone in technicolor

As a part of his A-Level Fine Arts final project, Louis Lander-Deacon created these beautiful photographs

up, up and away

Remember when you were a child, when everything seemed so beautifully bright and new, and you wanted to capture each breathtaking moment, and never let it go? As I get older, and these memories start to slowly fade like aging film, I try to draw them to the surface, and relive those times when it was all so blissfully simple. Flipping though magazines, looking up at billboard advertisements, and watching movies, it would seem the general media is fixated on recalling parts of our childhood too: balloons. Whether you first encountered them at the fair, an amusement park, or a birthday party, those round, rubbery, almost lumiscent-in-the-light objects were a part of your childhood.

Nifty

Browsing through flickr and came across the collage artist Bill Zindel. I've always loved collage work, and Zindel's pieces embody a certain rustic funk - knowing how to blend vintage, iconic images with those more updated (and original work) for a charming visual effect.

papercuts

These cut paper pieces I found via flickr are incredibly adorable (and beautiful too!) For more from this artist, visit Elle's flickr.

can't you hear the thunder?

Based in New Zealand, Cuba Gallery allows for designers, photographers and other artists to showcase their work, with an emphasis on quality and creativity. I love looking through the gallery's flickr. Some of my favorite photographs have such a clean simplicity, it's enchanting. To find out more, visit their website.

I almost wish we were butterflies

I want to fill my room with a thousand cut paper butterflies
