Fabric and Thread Illustrations by Sarah Trahan

Sarah Trahan is an artist and art educator originally from Michigan whose fabric and thread illustrations recently caught my eye. Mystical, soothing, and serene. That's the vibe I get from her art. Via her website:

"Sarah Trahan is an artist interested in the intersection between technology and handmade materiality. Using an interdisciplinary approach, her work experiments with emerging technologies and investigates how unfinished or imperfect artifacts of these technologies can trigger reflection on our collective perceptions of labor, value, and authorship.

Sarah is currently based in Ipswich, MA and serves as Assistant Professor and Digital Fabrication Studio Director at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. Her work is shown regularly in gallery spaces across the U.S. and is published internationally."

Incredibly beautiful work, I would love to see these up close. Follow Sarah on Instagram to enjoy seeing her latest creations.

Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it.

"I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Guessing Game

From Jimmy Kimmel's show recently, Quentin Tarantino tries to guess several obscure films from the VHS synopsis alone. I don't know about you, but I find myself enjoying a crazy B movie from time to time.
