The Drawings of Karrie Arthurs

Wed, 22 May 2013 16:01:10 +0100

Calgary-based artist Karrie Arthurs draws from the richly decorative iconography of tattoo culture to create ink drawings on antique papers. With exquisite freehand line Arthur’s works express a dialogue between contemporary symbolism and artifacts of the past. Each piece is steeped in meaning and mystery, each having a unique story of it’s own.

Well, this is what happens when I have no clear direction in mind, only pick up a pen every few days and get bored. I’m definitely working on some other things but I’m over this one.

““Dialogue is just two monologues clashing,” he said. “That’s my Big Theory. It’s true in life – never mind drama. Everyone is always, always thinking about themselves. It’s kind of impossible to do otherwise.””

Paolo Soleri, visionary architect, dies aged 93

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:10:28 +0100

“If you are truly concerned about the problems of pollution, waste, energy depletion, land, water, air and biological conservation, poverty, segregation, intolerance, population containment, fear and disillusionment,” reads the sign at the entrance to Arcosanti, “join us.” Beyond the placard lies the proposed solution to this list of ills: an otherworldly landscape of concrete domes and soaring vaults rising out of the Arizona desert, like a cross between an ancient Mayan ruin complex and the Star Wars cities of Tatooine. This is the experimental eco-town of Arcosanti, the lifetime’s work of the visionary Italian-born architect Paolo Soleri, who has died aged 93.

Design Classic: The Olivetti Valentine

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:43:13 +0100

Before Apple came along, the ultimate desktop objects of desire were made by Olivetti – says Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum in London

Before Apple was ever thought of, Olivetti was the Italian company that knew how to make mundane bits of office equipment into desirable objects. In the case of the Valentine – a portable typewriter designed by Ettore Sottsass and his British assistant Perry King in 1969 – it was not so much a typewriter. Rather, it was “something designed to keep poets company on lonely Sundays in the countryside”, as Sottsass put it himself, neatly demonstrating that designers need to be storytellers as much as anything else.

3D low-polygon illustrations by Erwin Kho

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:48:33 +0100

Rotterdam based illustrator Erwin Kho made of a low number of polygons and pastel colors the trademark of his 3D work. Also if at a first sight the environments and the cute characters may look rough, the attention to details is amazing and the shading and lighting make them look like some sort of paper work.
