The work of illustrator Jay Fleck is bold, beautiful and bursting with imaginings of faraway lands and fantasy playgrounds. His graphics are universal and full of heart: inspired by the literature of his childhood and the supportive internet communities of today. Jay Fleck talks to us about his designs, his process, and his own youngsters.

Brian Despain finds beauty in tin, sorrow in rust. Weather-beaten, worn, falling apart, inorganic but very much alive, his robots make up in spirit what they lack in polish.

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for"

- Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin in 1887. She was the first woman to be featured in a retrospective by the Museum of Modern Art. She is remembered for her intimate floral paintings which were daringly suggestive at a time when women were expected to be very proper. O'Keeffe would often walk through the deserts of New Mexico and collect the sun–baked bones, which were another favorite subject of her paintings.

In the Summer of 2012, Ceilia Giménez of Borja, Spain retouched a classic painting of Jesus Christ with the best of intentions. The finish product was such a disaster that churchgoers, city officials and the global press all responded in outrage. The botched fresco, originally named "Ecce Homo," inspired many comments and online parodies of the monkey-like Christ picture, but none as creative as this curry designed by Japanese blogger Takeda Take.
