Awesome retro art collage originals at phone booth gallery by artist KAREEM RIZK.

Love these postcards by artist Atul Dodiya on sale at FICA
(Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art).

Lots of great stationary out this season. Like the elements of Peculiar Press. Great website design.

My first creative inspirations came from one of the most laid back people I’ve met, my college freshman sculpture teacher, Dean Ruck. He was calm, intelligent, kind, and extremely down to earth. Intro to Sculpture at The University of Houston to this day is the class that I most learned and grew from. It sent me off to the rest of my college years with a big boom.

I was so happy when I found out that Dean was involved in the Tunnel House Project. I remember driving by it and thinking WOW!! It really did look like it was out of this world! I did some research and found out that Dan Havel and Dean Ruck had teamed up for creating a public art piece using an old house that was very soon to be demolished. Here’s Dean talking about his approach. This is what they came up with.
