Tomby
How has it taken me this long to get around to writing about the wonderful Tomby? He is the pixel master, with a sense of colour, composition, and narrative to die for. And in case you might be wondering, Tomby and Emily Eibel, the folksy stitching maestro, are one and the same! It’s quite amazing that one individual can manage to so thoroughly change gears on a regular basis and keep cranking out such inspiring, creative work.

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.

The pan flutes can get a little much, but I still really like Mariee Sioux debut studio album Faces in the Rocks. I’m hoping she has a new album in the works. Listen to her cover of the Cure’s Love Song below.

Cool name, even cooler clothes. Apparently Karen Walker isn’t the only good thing about New Zealand’s fashion scene. There’s also Jason Gitmans (of Gitmans Knitwear) and Kylee Davis of The Stitch Ministry. Read more
