A daily field guide to visual culture
Art, architecture, nature, and design, discovered and shared since 2009.
From the kukeri of Bulgaria to the caretos of Portugal, seven European villages that spend midwinter in fur, horns and bells, driving the dark half of the year out of town.
A Ukrainian artist swaps faces for clouds, fluff, and empty space, and somehow the person becomes more legible, not less.
From painters of the quiet suburban hour to worlds that fold, one-line drawings, vintage posters and paint that left the canvas, this is a curated tour of the most extraordinary painting and illustration we have ever featured.
These huge public sculptures bring a sense of joy, whimsy and curious-humor to our often too-boring built environment.

From Warsaw to Singapore to Cape Town to Andorra and Sydney, we see these walking men (and women) in all sorts of forms.
Not costumes, and not plastic cobwebs. Candles that burn down over a hidden skeleton, a deck built around a wilderness that does not exist, a fortune teller four inches tall, and two very small blades.
Autumn travels. We followed it to six places where the season is spectacular and the crowds have not caught on yet, from a Hokkaido volcano to a Hungarian marsh full of cranes.
From the kukeri of Bulgaria to the caretos of Portugal, seven European villages that spend midwinter in fur, horns and bells, driving the dark half of the year out of town.
From gravity-defying paintings to double-exposure dreamscapes, these are the eight most hypnotic surreal artworks we’ve discovered, and adored.
It looks like a fairytale forest powered by Victorian steam tech, but the machinery isn’t just for show.
