Modern Art
“I approach my work with the goal of documenting the rural and urban surroundings that exist around me. This is my way of studying and connecting with the environment wherever I have lived. In addition to providing my interpretation of natural and built environments, I strive to convey the fundamental elements of line and color…” - Tyson Roberts [via]

This mother’s day, don’t let yourself fall into the familiar tired gift traps lurking on TV and slapped onto the storefront of convenient store. Instead of flowers and a card, or possibly some chocolate, why not give the mom in your life something personal, unique, and timeless. We couldn’t help but squeal at this find over at Figment Studios. I, for one, while having an appreciation of the fine arts, am not exactly skilled with a set of paints. Figment works with you, selecting a photo of your choosing, a style, and a color scheme to create a personal hand-painted piece of art that the mom in your life will be able to cherish for years - take that flowers! The other great thing about figment is how willing they are to make the process collaborative, and as such, they keep you in the loop every step of the way. Mom is sure to appreciate the effort, and anyone who enters her home will too!
