Wooden Textiles by Elisa Strozyk

Yes, wooden textiles.

I'm not sure why you'd make these, but they're fantastically appealing. She's interested in addressing the immateriality of our online culture and the lack of tactile stimulation. She likes these wooden fibers as manipulatable by touch, recycled, and unexpected. In this, she is successful.

She uses her hair to capture and create moments in jewelry, Victorian style.

(Roughly) in her own words:

The Victorians used ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love. "In much the same way, I secure my memories through photographic images rendered in lines of my own hair, the physical remnants"

I love these. They're intimate, precious, careful, well-crafted, and beautiful.

And the Cradle Will Rock

Boris Vallejo: one of the most committed artists of our time.

Boris Vallejo: an artist who knows exactly what he wants to paint and what he wants to do and commits to it fully.

Dungeons and Dragons is to Boris what Greek Mythology is to Renaissance artists.

He glorifies the human, the humanoid, the extinct, and mid-90s sedan.

I couldn't not share him with you.
