This is one of the biggest drawings I've ever seen

Oscar Oiwa's recent piece is a 360 degree drawing set inside a 40-foot inflatable vinyl dome. Drawn in black permanent marker, Oiwa Island 2 depicts the picturesque Setouchi landscape. It's really huge, and onlookers become part of the trippy monochromatic graphics once they enter the circular space.

Oscar is a Brazilian-born Japanese artist who splits his time between New York, Tokyo and Sao Paulo. He has had numerous exhibits around the globe and his works are in multiple collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, the Phoenix Museum of Art, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and many more.

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness. Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
