My Pick for Artist of the Day? Aniko Kolesnikova... Here's Why ...

Jennifer May 29, 2015

Latvian artist Aniko Kolesnikova (also known as Mandarin Duck) is my artist of the day, for her awe-inspiring, incredibly detailed... book covers! I know it sounds like an odd medium, but truly, her polymer clay book covers are true art. Behold a few of her covers, below. And while we're at it, a few of her trinket boxes, too, because they're amazing, too.
