Yi-Hsin Tzeng
I don’t even know where to start with this particular artist to be honest. At first I was curious, then confused, and now find it riveting. Something about the work of Yi-Hsin Tzeng has me hooked and now you must go look too. Yi-Hsin Tzeng defaces selected image from magazines, and then publishes and sells them every two months. And even more mesmerizing is the foam work in pop-art pieces and performance art. 0
Harvest
Harumaki and Hirosher began as jewelry designers in 2003. Influenced by skateboarding, the unit began creating accessories and art works using old and unused skateboard decks. Can you believe these amazing pieces are created using old skate decks? Love them to pieces. As a skater, I want to take responsibility of reusing skateboards when they were no longer useable. Also, as an artist I want to explore the possibilities of what can be done with skateboards. Via 0

Sewn News
I love these pieces of sewn artwork from Lauren DiCioccio. Using newspapers, she wraps the entire issue in muslin and hand embroiders a captivating photo over top. “I select a photograph from the paper; usually a strong image suggestive of power, leadership or communication; and embroider the image onto the fabric, applying colors in a painterly way and layering line and thread. Portions of the image remain as outline and threads tangle and unravel from the fabric. “ I also really like her embroidered slides! Via 0
