This morning I ask only
the blessing of the crayfish,
the beautitude of the birds;
to wear the skin of the bear
in my songs;
to work like a man with my hands.
Prayer
by Joseph Bruchac This morning I ask only the blessing of the crayfish, the beautitude of the birds; to wear the skin of the bear in my songs; to work like a man with my hands. Singapore-based artist Izziyana Suhaimi introduces embroidered accents to her carefully rendered pencil and watercolor illustrations. Patterns of flowers unfold much like a tapestry across the paper canvas creating pieces she refers to as “evidence of the hand and of time.” For her series The Looms in Our Bones Suhaimi focuses mostly on fashion accessories where scarves, hats, and other clothing is depicted in thread, while she also uses the same techniques for more abstract shapes and designs. You can see more of Suhaimi’s work here.
Australian artist Jane Long transforms cracked and faded black and white photographs into colorful works of fantasy, giving the subjects a new, and entirely surreal context. The images she uses for her series, Dancing with Costica, were captured over a half century ago by Costică Acsinte a Romanian war photographer who documented WWI.
Here are a few highlights from Artist Tatsuya Tanaka’s Daily Miniature Photo Project! You can check out more of his work HERE (or follow him on Instasgram or Facebook).
Check out the artwork of Melbourne-based designer and jeweler Britta Boeckmann! Each pendant, ring, or pair of earrings is made one at a time by hand without the aid of template, a process that allows the pieces to evolve organically as she works.
Unbelievably realistic artwork by Riusuke Fukahori (WOW)!
