All over the world office procrastinators must be jealous after exploring the unique art made by Gregory Euclide on whiteboards with a single black marker and some water. Definitely there is no limit for an artist in materials if he really wants to express himself.

Natalia Fabia art

in , , ,

Inspired by brash light, vivid color and glitter, and the punk music scene, Natalia Fabia paints photorealistic images of after-hours bars and parties. Her 2010 series “Punk Rock Rainbow Sparkle” was based on staged photo shoots of lingerie-clad girls that captured a raw yet decadent sensibility. The provocatively posed models, many of whom are Fabia’s friends, sport glitter, tattoos, and clunky jewelry, seeming both tough and heartbreakingly vulnerable at the same time. http://www.nataliafabia.com/ via art.sy

Young American artist and illustrator Kimberly Bicknese shares gorgeous and really mature artworks through personal portfolio on synthoxide.net "The artwork that I compose primarily revolves around certain concepts that relates to people in general, such as mental illnesses, disorders, human emotions, desires and wishes, dreams, and anything else that essentially makes us who we are. Depicting such things allows me to record what many others around the world are feeling during certain points in their lives."

Sara Blake for DCMag 2

Meanwhile we are asking you to become a sponsor or support us to be able to release DCMAG in time http://dcmag.net/support and of course we are looking for contribution authors or artists, in any case please contact us by designcollector@gmail.com

We asked Sara Blake to make a cover version on Oleg Dou's artworks - the results are amazing.That what she writes on personal blog:

"To follow the first issue of the printed magazine for friends at Design Collector, I was invited to collaborate with the amazing, incredible, fantasic Oleg Dou for the second issue coming this summer. I've been mesmerized by Oleg's imagery for some time now. I never knew quite how to categorize his art for myself. I've always gravitated to more handmade work even if it's finished digitally. I feel that same handmade quality in Oleg's work, despite its more digital guise at first glance. In Oleg's words, "I'm an artist, but sometimes, some people call me a photographer. It's not true. I'm an artist who uses photography as a medium for my works." (Check out the full video of Oleg's work process presented by Adobe here.)

I had Oleg's hi-res files for Masha and White (below) for over a month and toyed with several ideas for a collaboration. I have to admit I was a little stumped for a bit. I had thought to do a "tear-out" effect and only illustrate certain features of his characters and place them over the original. I had thought also to embellish filligree in the negative space and lightly over the face... the usual fair of illustration/photographic collaboration. After sketching and brainstorming however, I reallized anything I were to add to Oleg's originals would not be an improvement, but would instead detract from their simplicity and power. I didn't want to tamper. Let a good thing alone—they were perfect as they stood. Instead I decided to create illustration "based" on his pieces, redrawn in my style, whatever that means. The two would sit side by side for a spread. The following 2 images were created quickly in a few hours (pencil, watercolor, digital). They will appear in the second issue of Design Collector Magazine, along with more artist collaborations from some friends. Huge thanks to Design Collector and to Oleg for having the trust to let me mess with his beautiful work."

ZSO-NYC

in , , , ,

Our dear friend and valuable collaborator Sara Blake (@hellozso) launched ZSO-NYC, a store branch of personal portfolio HelloZSO.

"I'm very excited to finally announce the launch of ZSO-NYC. This project has been over a year in the making, from initial illustrations, to sampling silks, to the photoshoot, to creating custom packaging and the printed lookbook. The launch of the Tantrum Scarf is what I hope to be the first of many more projects and products. The first edition was created in a very limited run of only 50 and comes with a printed booklet and signed certificate with your edition number. All photography was shot by my dear friend John Christenson, and I served as the reluctant model. This project has been such a wonderful experience. I hope you all enjoy and perhaps even pick up your own scarf", - says Sara
