monday morning eye candy: Mickey Walsh and Ayumi Horie

Today’s eye candy is a collaboration between two amazing artists: Mickey Walsh and Ayumi Horie.
I was too slow sadly this morning to get my hands on one during Ayumi’s online sale. But we can at least enjoy them in pictures.

I love seeing great collaborations come together! Do you have any suggestions of artists who you’ve seen make great work together?
