About Schtock: “I work at a major stock photo company cataloging images. The majority of the stuff I work with will never see the light of day for no other reason than that most people don’t know it’s available to them. It’s a shame which I’m trying to remedy with this site. As an amateur designer, I occasionally can’t help but play around with the images I see floating across my desk on a daily basis. This site contains the results.”

“Bruno 9Li’s inspirations come from daily life experiences of the diverse population of its residents (European, Japanese and Latin American descent) as well as his search for life’s meaning through spirituality, alchemy and cultural symbolisms.

He often speaks of “all being one,” and is deeply aware of the unity of people, animals and nature itself. 9Li creates works of art that share this vision with his audience through epic encounters of natural and supernatural beings. These encounters, depending on the viewer, can be seen as mythic morality tales of the past, or a keen foretelling of the future.”

I have written about Jasper Goodall’s exploits before but hot damn do I love his work. I just love it. It makes me happy every time I look through it. It’s just fantastic. Anyway, I thought I would remind you of him. Below you can grab a bit of his biography before perusing his amazing portfolio.

“I was born in 73 in Birmingham, England to two artistic parents who encouraged me from an early age. By the 14 I had decided that a career in art and design was what I wanted. I completed a Foundation year at Bournville college of art in Birmingham and then a BA hons in Illustration at The University of Brighton… I forget when, but I think I graduated early – mid nineties!
Since then I have been working as a freelance Illustrator both in commercial work and editorial, most people seem to have found out about me during my time working with The Face magazine from 2000 onwards (ish)

My commercial output has seen me work with clients such as: Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Coca-cola, BMW, MTV, Warners Music and many more.

Editorially I have worked for such titles as: The Face, Arena, Elle, Big, Eye, Deliciae Vitae, Scene, Dazed and Confused and Icon amongst many others world wide.”

Wow, I mean wow, I am just loving, absolutely loving the Analogue Miniatures from artist Dan McPharlin. I love all of his work actually but I really really love the analogue miniatures. They are brilliant. Just brilliant.

“News Knitter is a data visualization project which focuses on knitted garments as an alternative medium to visualize large scale data.

The production of knitted garments is a highly complex process which involves computer support at various steps starting with the designs of both the fabric and the shape of garments until they are ready-to-wear. In recent years, technical innovations in machine knitting have especially focused on the patterning facilities. The patterns are designed by individuals generally depending on the current trends of fashion and the intended target markets and multiplied through mass production. News Knitter translates this individual design process into a world-wide collaboration by utilizing live data streams as a base for pattern generation. Due to the dynamic nature of live data streams, the system generates patterns with unpredictable visuality.

News Knitter converts information gathered from the daily political news into clothing. Live news feed from the Internet that is broadcasted within 24 hours or a particular period is analyzed, filtered and converted into a unique visual pattern for a knitted sweater. The system consists of two different types of software: whereas one receives the content from live feeds the other converts it into visual patterns, and a fully computerized flat knitting machine produces the final output. Each product, sweater of News Knitter is an evidence/result of a specific day or period.”

In conjunction with French collective ill-Studio, Scion is currently presenting The Art of Music show at the Installation LA Gallery. The exhibition opened on September 6. The show celebrates the intertwining of art and music and the symbiotic relationship they often share. In my opinion, music is art. It is all one thing to me. But anyway.

The Art of Music brings together 15 international artists to exhibit their varying visual interpretations of music.

You can see a preview of works in The Art of Music now and learn more about the exhibit at www.scion.com/space

Unusual, interesting and original illustrations by Natsko Seki. Seki is apparently a big fan of antique and vintage culture giving her work a nostalgic contemporary feel. She derives a lot of her inspiration from London where she currently lives. She has also enjoyed success in Japan where she recently exhibited at the Rocket Gallery in Tokyo.

I have written of her work before but after looking through it again today, I think it deserves a second look.
