David Mesguich does just about everythang. Everythang?! Everythang. Graffiti, photography, sculptures, installations, drawings, paintings, video...you name it, Mesguich does it. Why? Because that's how Mesguich rolls. Why am I talking to myself? Because I forgot to take my crazy-pills.

I initially thought that Joe Fig's Inside the Painter's Studio series was a collection of photographs of famous artists working in their respective studios, but damn it, I was wrong after seeing images of Matisse, Van Gogh, and Polluck working away. Originally hailing from Seaford, New York, Fig creates incredibly detailed miniatures of artists and their studios, as well as the "table" sculptures showcasing the respective artists' art space based off of actual photos taken by Fig himself or off of older photos accounts for artists who have passed. I highly encourage everyone to check out more of Fig's work on his website!
