I’m enthralled by the work of AJ Fosik a sculpture artist from South East Michigan. His beautiful 3D sculptures are assembled out of wooden cut-outs that remind me of the dragons and creatures that punctuate Chinese mythology; and also the various masks that they wear! And no wonder – he credits folk art as a big influence in his work. The detail to attention on each of his pieces are amazing.
Read more about him and his work via his interview on Fecal Face.
Kristin Loffer Theiss runs KLT:Works with the help of her husband and her boy, Sayer, who is now her muse and also the label’s star model! Kristin is also a trained artist /painter who holds a MFA in Fine Art from The School of Visual Arts in NYC. Her artistic background allowed her to approach her creations with a painter’s eye — she’s pays a lot of attention to working with color, texture, and form.
Though Kristin makes a range of products, my favorite has to be her free-motion sewed illustrations, which you can now hang on your wall! Consisting of three letterpress prints, the set is made up of a pair of owls (a bride and a groom) plus a little nest to tie it all together. Just comment by the 10th of August to be in the running!

Loving the work of Arrolynn Weiderhold, who has a shop called Top Hat Society. She’s a BFA Illustration graduate of the Ringling College of Art and Design, and she’s currently freelancing. Love those paint strokes and how the characters in her illustration seem to belong to a different time and place!
