Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

RyanTailor has a fun photostream is full of Christmas right now, so I thought it would be a great one to feature. “Baby, it’s the best time of the year” has a vintage feeling thanks to the slightly yellowed and aged tone. It has a simplicity that I love. 

More modern and sardonic takes on Christmas ahead.

“Fuck, it’s cold outside.” is not your usual Christmas cheer, but I love it. But then I think a good obscenity is often the perfect word. If you’ve ever waited 30 minutes for a bus when it’s 42 below, you would know exactly what I mean. I love all the red with the bed, bedspread, blinds, and pillows. The modern faux fireplace is perfect.

For many of us, Christmas is all about family and nearly everyone has a favorite family recipe. I lost my krumkake iron and Christmas did not feel like Christmas without it. Thankfully, I have one now so Christmas can be Christmas. I love how Ryan oriented the foods in two diagonals, going down from left to right and up from left to right. Of course, a regular hot chocolate would be more Christmassy than a chocolate latte, though. If you want to make your own very delicious instant hot chocolate mix, this is a wonderful recipe.

Check out RyanTailor’s photostream and continue past the Christmas pictures. He’s got many wonderful decor pictures and an interesting collection of avatar photos he’s taken as a photographer.
