Artiste Locale

Was floating on by one of my personal favorite websites, Vimby (Video in my Backyard) an eclectic video-feature hub that spotlights fashion, art, music and all sorts of creative institutions and figures. One of their most recent videos was on a really interesting artist named Ryan Shaffer, who specializes in minimalist acrylic pieces and is local to our own Bay Area. His clean style and his unique skeletal references remind me of some sort of modernist mausoleum. While one of the designs I'll be posting soon is very ornate and grand in scale, I think that year in and year out, simplicity (coupled with an ample amount of originality) trumps all in the world of design.
