As I’ve mentioned previously, I love old photos. For that reason, today I’m doing two posts featuring old historical photos of the United States, the first of which is a series of photos by 1800s photographer Timothy O’Sullivan. (The second post features American Civil War photos) This series features photos of the American West in the 1860s and 70s. It’s basically exactly how I pictured it in my head – vast,...

Photos like these always give me the impression that they’re the first frame in a scene in a movie that is on pause, and any moment they may come to life. No luck in that regard with these, but they’re still quite amazing the way they...

This is a special post for me. Not only is Susan Anderson-Shorter one of my favorite artists, but I was lucky enough to work alongside her for about a year at my last job, and on top of her amazing artwork – she’s just a top-notch human being. So I’m excited to share with you some of my favorite works she has done, from line-art to watercolors. Check out the works featured below and then head over to her Etsy (linked...
