Emily Eibel
Emily Eibel creates the most beautiful stitched illustrations that tug at the heart of the crafter in all of us. Aside from the novel technique, the imagery itself stands squarely on it’s own feet. Every image seems to contain the palpable feeling of wandering about all alone in the woods at night. This, combined with Emily’s pronounced graphic sensibilities and wonderful palettes, make for some pretty incredible work. I can’t wait for the full blown quilt!

Illustrator Emily Eibel and the pixel master Tomby are, surprise, surprise, one and the same. Emily-Tomby took a moment to chat with us about what it’s like leading such a fascinating double life and we started off by asking how she would characterize the two different styles: ‘I guess Tomby is the technophile in me and Emily is the luddite. They seem disparate, but it’s really just one style in two mediums. Tomby is a digital manifestation of my love for painting. The digital work is built in layers of increasing detail, much like paintings are. The stitchings are just drawings with thread’. Read more

With a passion for design and a love for sewing, I’ve been creating clothing for myself and friends as far back as I can remember. I really relished the thought of being able to share my creations with a wider audience and take my passion to the next level. That said, this Summer marks the debut of my first collection for my clothing line, Ilana Kohn. Read more

Despite his name, I’m guessing German illustrator Frederik Jurk must be a cool guy because his images, his limited palette and gorgeous textured line work are awesome.

I was immediately taken with the work of California artist Zack Paul. Especially the images created on various bits of driftwood and found natural objects. The most perfect backdrop to his clean, geometric images.

My friend and fine artist Sara Wolfe sent me this link of Chicago based artist Diego Leclery. He created this flash animation Panda, to celebrate the recent Beijing Olympics. He initially said he would take it down after the closing ceremony, but it is still up, so watch this cool one before it’s gone!
Japanese artist Toshiya Tsunoda’s field recordings will blow your mind without blowing your eardrums. By placing sensitive microphones inside empty objects, such as bottles and hollow logs, he captures vibrations inaudible to the human ear. Layers of these sounds are artfully cut and composed to produce brute, mesmerising work that challenges our perception of music. Read more
The original Lomography Sidekick bag has had a revamp. Though it still maintains its 2-in-1 design, it now houses a smaller section to comfortably hold compact cameras, and a larger compartment for all the other things you need. It also fits your laptops. Oh, and the exterior is made from 100% water-resistant TPE. Fun!
