I Don't typically talk about fashion or textiles on the site, but the idea of taking the city around me (us, everyone) and putting the things that inspire us directly onto a t-shirt is intriguing. I have always been a fan and amateur photographer of interesting textures of rusty metal, mold stains, faded paint and other time lapsed elements that are present in nature and cities everyday. This video from Studio Cromie, of Italy's FAME fest, gives me a bunch of cool ideas about doing exactly that. They took city walls and textures from the city of Grottaglie (Italy) and turned them into some better-than-your-average shirt patterns. Click the studio link to see more.
IGOR MORSKI
Polish artist and illustrator Igor Morski keeps churning out surreal images that are both crystal clear and ambiguous in subject. If you like Dali or Magritte, you should like these modern abstractions of the concepts of both those artists. These seem like good album covers for some spacey, instrumental music, but are fun to look at for a while to figure it out, if at all possible.
LUSH, a graf artist from Melbourne, Australia, seems to go to great lengths to offend and "piss off" people with attitude and offensive statements and images. He likes to be clever and come off as the anti-artist, but some of his work I find pretty interesting. I always support dissent against everything and when it is done in creative ways, I appreciate it that much more. Not all of his work is stuff that I like (who's really is) but here are some samples of his work that hints at the inner-skeptic mentality of his work. Click the tumblr link here to see more.
