Hirotoshi Ito

Intrigued by these stone sculptures created by Japanese stone artist, Hirotoshi Ito. First discovered his work on Iichi where some of his creations are available for purchase. Then read more about him and saw more of his work on his blog, Jiyuseki.

Amazed by these CMYK embroideries created by London-based graphic designer, Evelin Kasikov, who “uses typography, grid systerms and design techniques to challenge the preconceptions of embroidery”.
