Hyper Realistic Drawings by Monica Lee

“I like to challenge myself with complex portraits especially people with freckles or beard,” says Monica Lee, who often works from photographic portraits to create seemingly identical drawings. Surprisingly, Lee worked in the digital world for 12 years before making the jump to illustration. But it certainly doesn’t show. She now spends 3-4 weeks on a single drawing. The artist attributes her love for hyperrealism to her father, who worked in the field of photography.

Wake up with a fresh cup of coffee

British designer Joshua Renouf made dreams come true - coffee scent as a morning alarm, what else to add? The coffee maker "Barisieur" heats the water with induction elements and brews the coffee all by itself – all you have to do is load it up the night before. Interestingly, Renouf points out that this preparation process may actually help users fall asleep at night; “It encourages a ritual before going to sleep, signalling to the body and mind that it is time to unwind and relax,” he writes on his website. barisieur

Lace Street Art by NeSpoon

"Warsaw-based artist NeSpoon uses ornate lace patterns in her unique brand of street art that translates into ceramics, stencils, paintings, and crocheted webbing installed in public spaces. NeSpoon refers to her art as “public jewelry,” specifically as an act of beautification by turning abandoned and unadorned spaces into something aesthetically pleasing"

Taisuke Mohri

"Japanese artist Taisuke Mohri creates these photo realistic images using only colored pencil on paper. Close-ups of Taisuke's work show the detail in each fold of his subject's skin. Taisuke is even able to illustrate the translucence of skin, something that we normally would only notice when looking at our own flesh. In Taisuke's other collections, he demonstrates the same ability when recreating the surface of carved stone with the same attention to detail." via taisuke-mohri-7

Analog Memory Desk

The Analog Memory Desk is "a tool" to record manually all the small items you write down once, but intend to forget tomorrow. As said by creator Kristen Camara

I've come to realize that I'm somewhat obsessed with how we remember the past. This is the latest installment in that series and a more serious attempt at furniture making. There are a hundreds of little things that we don't try to remember every year or even every week. Does the sum of all these tiny parts produce a new narrative on our lives?

1,100 yards of paper will record the lists, the phones numbers you call once, the pixel size of that box on that website, the street name of that business, and the long division you try to remember.

Alessio Albi

Alessio Albi's stunningly atmospheric portraits explore light and shadows

I love natural light because it creates amazing shapes and volumes that I can’t obtain with artificial light. I could spend an entire day waiting for that precise ray of light coming through my window and shoot hundreds of photos only with this light source, because I love the way it interacts with the human body. I also love cloudy days for my outside shooting, because clouds create the perfect light diffuser and add lot of atmosphere to pictures. I love low light not only because it adds a lot to the atmosphere I want to create, but because it helps me to exclude a lot of details that would distract from the subject.
