These close-ups of Jean Charles Frémont’s series, rendered using a mouse (!) and indian ink has me a little transfixed. Mostly it’s because there’s so many strokes in there, and the fact that it’s a digital rendition based on a photograph – all of it makes for an interesting concept.

His about page clearly explains his approach:

At the border of illustration and photography, Frémont’s work is characterized by an intense approach of material. Texture and details create a surprising realism that astonishes the viewer at the door of the factual and its representations. From the digital natives generation, Frémont talks about Adobe, pixels or Google image search as they were pencils.

Analog pixels for a digital world. Fascinating!

I wish we had colder weather so I can have an excuse to wrap myself in cute little scarves, like these ones by Carolina Gronholm.

Happy Monday folks!

I’m going to cheat a little for today’s post, because I’ve covered artist Misato Suzuki’s work before over at The Jealous Curator (back when we were playing switcharoo!) but I’ve been seeing her work over and over again that I’m taking it as a sign – it’s too amazing not to share over here with you guys.

I’m really drawn to abstracts these days and the dialogue between textures so Misato’s work really draws me in. It’s almost as if I could hear a faint whisper in those paintings – much like a portrait of objects that are speaking to one another.

What are you compelled by these days? I’d love to hear!
