Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

For the month of August, a series of guests will be fill­ing in on DWL with daily posts. Today’s posts come to you from Diane Faye Zerr of  Faye & Co. For more from Diane, be sure to check out her blog and fol­low her on Dribbble and Twitter. Enjoy!

No, not witch­craft. I’m talk­ing about art that’s dark in it’s theme, imagery, or feel. I am always moved by these so-called ‘dark’ images but does that make me a dark per­son? I don’t think so. Sure, like every­one else I enjoy the bright and col­or­ful, opti­mistic quotes, and images of cats — but every so often, I see an image that appears odd, scares, repulses, sad­dens me, or makes me look twice, and then I love it. It’s dif­fer­ent.

Here are a few images that have moved me in some way, they almost shifted my soul at first sight. Please click through to their web­sites, but please know that some images you find there may not be safe for work or around children.
