i’m jealous of shawn huckins
I thought these pieces, by American artist Shawn Huckins, were fantastic when I assumed that they were little mixed media pieces, of everyday life, on actual paint chips… but, when I realized that they were in fact really big paintings, of everyday life, on huge canvases skillfully painted to look exactly like actual paint chips, well, that’s when I upgraded my opinion to “fan-freakin’-tastic”. That’s really the first word that comes to mind when you see cars partially submerged in Sea Kelp 390D-5, am I right?

Eff my life. This is good.
what a great idea! awesome!
I thought that they were paintings on paint chips at first, too. I want to jump into Pacific Sea Teal. And yes, you are right about the cars.
Love these! Those paint chips at the paint store do seem to cry out for some other sort of application. Great vision Shawn!
This is so genius! He may be one of my new faves.
oooh yes, these are fanTAStic.
sending you love, d! xo
aww… taking that love, and sending a whole bunch back to you too willo xo
I think someone who’s thinking up the names of the paint/lipstick/nail polish colors deserves a separate post. Pure poetry, and often so surreal and absurd (celery spring!!!).
I’m a devoted user of a lipstick in color called ALARM RED, and that’s exactly how i feel wearing it 😉
nail polish on my fingernails as of this morning… “make mine mango” … awesome.
Love this too much! Big fan of all you post, but this is awesome.
I like the Hockney of 510D!
me too! so good.
