Bru Sim

Bru Sim is one half of Electrolychee – a graphic design and illustration studio based in the Philippines. While their official website shows off the pair’s more graphic works, I’m drawn to Bru’s flickr page instead, where she has quite a collection of artworks that she’s experimenting on. She’s incorporated sewing into her artworks, and so far my favorite has to be her has to be her black and white drawings in India ink and watercolor – her study of textures and form is something to behold!

See more at her Flickr website!

Thanks to Camz for sending over their link! 🙂

Art + Craft

Artwork by Sarajo Frieden

I saw these beautiful images over at El Blog de DMC – the official Spanish blog of the popular brand DMC and I wanted to show you guys the amazing possibilities out there of combining art and craft.

Have you ever thought of stretching beyond your comfort zone and incorporate a bit of the unknown in your work?

Chuck Groenink

I am absolutely smitten by the work of Chuck Groenink
(his shop is on Society6), an illustrator from the Netherlands who has relocated to Portland, USA a year ago. I am most impressed by his use of colors, form and concepts behind his imagery. His work – when seen in a larger scale – has much depth, with visual layers that communicate as a whole. On a much deeper level, his textures, forms and characters shine brilliantly.

This is one man to watch!
