came across this beautiful collection of photos showcasing famous artists in their studios. love seeing the connections between the work style and the studio. so interesting to think about what spaces people find the most conducive to their creative process.

it's amazing how inspiration finds you. just two days after i posted about omar victor diop i stumbled across the work of kehinde wiley. while they have very different mediums and contexts, they speak to each other so much for me. and the title for my post on dipo "portrait of a pattern" fits beautifully for wiley as well.
with wiley the first thing that grabbed me was - of course - his use of color and pattern. but the more you look at his pieces that more the detail and skill begin to bubble to the top. his portraits are so expressive. i can't believe it took me so long to come across his work!
i stumbled across these the other day and went into a glorious rabbit hole discovering the work of italian illustrator jonathan calugi. as much as i love color, there is just something so rich about black and white design that features a single black line. this series is called "into the line" and it's just perfect.
feeling very inspired by the layered, multi-media, editorial-inspired work of ernesto artillo. i've shared this first piece before here but wanted to share it again with this full series. so good.
dreaming of this piece by jen wink. doesn't it feel like a dancer? such a beautiful play on shape.
love this collage project by blogger/designer miss moss featuring a mash up of images from artist henri matisse and a recent collection by fashion brand tata naka. always fun to see references to classic artists in new, very modern ways.
a very cool series by federico babina. he's created a beautiful and playful project called archist, where he imagines artists as architects and reinterprets art as construction.
from babina: "art and architecture are disciplines that talk... the definition and the function of architecture is constantly changing with the evolution of contemporary art... i took pleasure in imagining architecture full of art, designed and built through the interpretation of the language of an artist."
you know even thanksgiving has to get a little design love on THE BOSS AESTHETIC. here is artist hannah rothstein's interpretation of how some of our most famous artists would serve thanksgiving.
hope you enjoy these on this pumpkin-pie-baking, stretchy-pants-wearing kinda day. and thank you! for stopping by, for sharing the blog and for your wonderful comments and support.
now, time to play with some food.
