And it's Sunday again...

People wear band shirts for a lot of reason. For some because it looked good on Ryan Gosling or Kendall Jenner, while for others it's because they are genuine fans of the artist and the music. But how much would you be willing to spend for a simple piece of clothing? A few years ago, someone apparently bought the Sonic Youth T-shirt that Kurt Cobain wore during Nirvana's 1994 Munich concert for $25,000. It is one of the highest recorded publicly purchased band shirt to date. If you have one of these tees hanging around in the back of your closet, you could be in the money. But please, do not wear a band shirt if you don't own at least one of their albums or have never seen them perform live. Save yourself from embarrassment. Anyway, here's some music.

The Art of Dolce Paganne

I can't even begin to think about how Dolce Paganne comes up with any of the shit she creates. I do know I'm hooked and can't stop looking at her drawings. Taking influence from Asian horror comic books, occult history and ancient mythology, the Antwerp-based artist makes her own "sinister" universe which expands with each new piece. Also known as Ceren Aksungur, Dolce has a vast catalog of different media to view on her website and Instagram, so if you like what you see below, check out the rest of it here and here .

This Filipina artist draws with thread

I love it when I procrastinate online and discover someone's work that really catches my attention. Filipina artist Eugenia Alcaide captures her subjects by sewing their impressions on silkscreens. Though created with black cotton thread, the lines look like intricate sketches of graphite with 3D feel. They're captivating, and I wish there was a video to go with these to see how she plots each piece from start to finish. Ginny began using thread in 2006 while doing her thesis for her degree in Fine Arts, major in Painting, at the University of the Philippines. One of Artinformal's most revered artists, her first exhibit in the gallery was in 2012, and since then she has gone on to display her work in various local and international art fairs. Her unique ability to create three-dimensional portraits by stretching and draping threads to form sculptural drawings has earned her much acclaim. You can check out more of Ginny's work here .
