Krakow based artist Piotr Krysiak probably loves gołąbki, but not as much as I love his paintings. Below is a mix of his work since 2010.

“Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story.

Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.”

How long have you been posting on “Lokaltrafikant” and what does it mean to you?
Me and Jon Mogard began taking pictures of people as a pastime activity on the subway some year ago. But the site lokaltrafikant.se (the commuter) started in May 2011. 9 months later we have now about 600 photos of different people in transit.

What equipment do you use?
Only the iPhone

Swedes are pretty shy, have you had any trouble “stealing souls” in public?
Shy people are great when it comes to this sport. And we are shy over here. So shy that one time when I was gonna take a picture of a girl opposite me, I had forgot not only to turn the shutter sound off, but the flash as well. And because it’s very silent on Swedish subways everybody both heard and saw me taking that picture. But nobody reacted. Swedes…

Any favorite moments of public travel?
My favorite moments of public travelling must be when you get on and you sit down opposite a good looking girl. Then this funny thing starts to happen with your eyes. You stare, and look away. Stare, and look away. Stare, stare, stare. And look away. Drives me insane. And this goes on forever until she get off, cos I won’t.

When are you going to come and shoot in NYC? You might get punched… trust me.
I think the NYC tour is set for this spring. And if I get punched I’m gonna take a picture of it as it happens. Awesome!

Any last words?
Can I stay at your place?

Ha, yup!

Created by German artist Bartholomäus Traubeck, “Years” is a modified record player that analyzes the growth rings on a cross section of a tree and translates the information into ghostly piano music. It’s really beautiful.

“Snowboarding is much more than just banger after banger; It’s a journey, it’s euphoria, it’s pain, it’s excitement, it’s fear, it’s meeting new people, it’s sending it, it’s SNOWBOARDING.”
-Aaron Robinson

This should be fun.
