We have mentioned once London-based animator and director Natalia Stuyk over her collaboration with Kenzo. Today I want to break your eyes with her recent GIF-animation project Berry Metal
Fashion illustration of Label Tania
"Label Tania is a self-taught illustrator living and working between Bordeaux and Biarritz, France. She works for fashion, design and advertising. Her work is essentially drawn by hands, using traditional techniques with lead pencils and black pencils or more recently Bic. Combining multiple textures like pens and water-colors then, once scanned, she put the finishing touches to the drawing with Photoshop. Represented by Creasenso." via
Erik Jones
New art by Erik Jones for his upcoming show, “Motion,” at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco features paintings that subsume the human figure in colourful abstract patterns.
Valeria Vacca photography
"Valeria Vacca is a Rome-based photographer with a lovely dreamy style. Choosing to shoot mostly in black and white her art, which as you can see here alternates between fantastical portraits with a stunning level of contrast and double exposure shots, is like a breath of fresh air." via
Hair Highway
Hair Highway is a China-based project from nomadic design duo Studio Swine exploring the potential of human hair beyond its wildly expanding role in the beauty industry. As the world’s population increases, human hair is re-imagined as an abundant and renewable alternative to diminishing resources such as horn, tortoise shell or tropical wood. By investigating the trade and craft around the hair industry in Shangdong province, Studio Swine explores the potential of human hair by creating new materials and a collection of exquisite objects.

Glitch Art by Alex Kanevsky
Check the glitchy art of Russian born and Philadelphia based Alex Kanevsky. His style is a mix of figurative with cubist-like marks by a palette knife. The relaxed figures break apart into geometrical gestures that imply their movement through the space. Kanevsky credits a range of aesthetically different artists as inspiration, from Van Gogh, Cezanne, Mondrian, Rothko, Kline, to Freud, the list goes on.
Cafe Racer by Laurent Nivalle

Brain Mash
"Brain Mash" is a graphic art studio based in the "capital" of Siberia - Novosibirsk. Check their portfolios to explore the successful juxtaposition of graphic design and street art
Matthew Simmonds
"The sculptures of Matthew Simmonds give us a direct experience of our being in the present, through a love of the past transmitted in marble and light."
To create a sculpture that catches the light and structure of a building and lets the eye wander, to feel that here my eye could live, here a part of me could stay, is a great achievement. The sculptures give the viewer a different perspective on space. They look different from every viewpoint. You long to be in them, and they seem almost more meaningful for that.

The French capital eventually approved of JR’s installations and started supporting his artwork in the outdoors of Parisian housing projects from 2004 to 2006.In JR’s latest endeavour, the Pantheon opened this month with his “Au Panthéon!” project. It showcases thousands of portraits taken in March of this year from a photo-booth truck, which made its way to multiple nations. The portraits are arranged in mosaics on ornate ceilings, floors, and exterior of the famous monument. via
