“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.

The artist attributes her love for hyperrealism to her father, who worked in the field of photography.

"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

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.
