“Escher on steroids” – this is how some commenters describe the illustrations by Oscar Ramos. In his latest project Ad+, Chilean artist shows that it’s possible to merge two completely different things with such smooth transition that you hardly notice how a baggy Converse turns into a paradise island in the same picture. Also known by his nickname Piensa Positivo (“think positive” in Spanish), Oscar specializes in character design and photo manipulation. The creator of these mind-bending illustrations says his inspiration came from Maurits Cornelis Escher, a Dutch graphic artist, who classic perspective-defying works are known worldwide.

Guneriussen creates unique photos that give us a rare glimpse into the stunning, untouched nature that surrounds him while providing just enough whimsy that we actually feel ourselves getting lost in his magical world.

Florida-based artist Celeste Roberge is fascinated with creating art where there is an intersection of geological time and human time. She identifies the layers of history and memory that exist within everything, from people, to furniture, to natural materials found in the world around us. The artist says she creates sculptures where "the presence of matter and materiality is dominant," and where combinations of fleeting human existence stand in direct harmony with the steady and enduring powers of nature.

An exciting new show opens tonight at Spoke Art gallery in San Francisco that brings back award-winning artist Tim Doyle. He's created a brand new set of fantastic illustrations of locations we'll all recognize from some of our favorite television shows. Last year, we saw Doyle's creative take on iconic places like Sesame Street, Seinfeld's Monk's Cafe and The Simpson's Moe's Tavern and, this time, he's crafted hand-made screen prints as well as original pen and ink illustrations for locations associated with Dr. Who, Mr. Rogers and even the hit PBS show Downton Abbey. (Spoke Art gave us the exclusive sneak peek of Downton Abbey. Notice the glow in the dark version, below!)

Okay basic astrology time! If you're interested in this topic, the key is not to complicate the descriptions too much, they tends to be general overall. Keep in mind that people are shaped by other things besides when they were born. This is all the general things you ever need to know about it to make the connections!

There are five “squares” or rooms on a farm in Sasbachwalden Village – a tiny community known for its wine-making and wood processing. Named after the kind of wine that was stored in each of the enormous oak barrels, which are so lovingly restored it will break your heart, the rooms are accompanied by a small rocky garden, flowers, a bench, and even a bathroom. Oh, and don’t worry about winter time. These cozy rooms are heated. There is a double bed in each barrel, though it can be separated into two singles upon request, and a basket of yummy German goodies await your arrival. The owners offer deals too. Here’s one: one night, two people, breakfast, a basket full of cheese and sausage, and wine. And what do you think that might cost? Your right arm, perhaps? Oh no, they are only charging 156 Euros – for two people. That’s a steal! Comprised of 70 percent forest, Sasbachwalden boasts lush green hills and spectacular sunsets. We can hardly think of a better place to spend the night.
