]]>Kaido and his human Matt “Matty” Fernandez frequently take bike rides across their native New York City. While riding the bike, they occasionally encounter ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles trying to navigate congested streets.
Once Kaido, who is usually nestled in a bike chair or a backpack on Matty’s back, hears the sirens, he immediately starts howling. Matty refers to this type of sound as “awoo,” which lets others know that they should pay attention and let the emergency vehicles pass.

]]>Gore spent years working as a mental health therapist, career coach, and university instructor before discovering his passion for art. He was in his late 30s when he stumbled upon a social media challenge to share a 1”x1” sketch every day for a month, and he decided to keep going even after the challenge was over.
“Often drawing inside only an inch or two, I’m inspired by the challenge to create more while consuming less. My miniature art demonstrates how constraints can enhance creativity while encouraging a more sustainable experience for the earth, the artist, and art lovers alike,” he told Strathmore Artist Papers.
Gore embraced the beauty of lifelong learning, honing his skills at the breakfast table, crafting his tiny drawings with nothing but 0.15mm pen nib and tiny canvases. Gore’s versatility is as impressive as his attention to detail, and we’ve seen him celebrate the beauty of nature through his body of work, while also putting a miniature twist on some of his favorite paintings.

]]>For several years now, Shrimali and Bird have been amazing social media users and art enthusiasts with their well-crafted miniature paper artworks. Their works are mostly inspired by birds and animals, with artists striving to redefine paper as a material and use it to educate people about our planet’s biodiversity through art.
The new series, “Parrot Project,” features paper miniatures of 40 different species of parrots. Each miniature is meticulously cut by hand and painted, resulting in a realistic depiction of these fascinating birds.
According to Shrimali and Bird, the goal of the “Parrot Project” was both to show their beauty and help people realize how important they are.
“We want our audience to not just appreciate the beauty of this wonderful species but also understand its importance in nature,” the duo stated.
Shrimali and Bird made these parrot miniatures available for sale on The Paper Ark website while adding a good cause component. They will donate 10% of each sale to organizations that focus on parrot conservation.
Check out more of the works from “Parrot Project” below.

]]>Based in Rio de Janeiro, Pérolas & Amor sells exclusive bead bags and accessories, and the name of this brand perfectly captures its spirit since it can be translated as Pearls & Love. They use all sorts of different beads to bring their bags to life, and they became a huge sensation on social media thanks to their signature designs made from retro plastic beads.
Their nostalgic look gives Pérolas & Amor’s bags a unique vibe, making it seem like they’ve been made of countless pixels. A lot of attention goes into the making of each bag, and it takes hundreds of plastic beads to bring them to life.
In addition to their pixelated look, there’s another thing that Pérolas & Amor’s bags have in common. Many of them are inspired by popular culture and pay homage to the popular cartoons we all know and love, from Hello Kitty and SpongeBob SquarePants to Minions and Lilo & Stitch.

]]>Abi has come a long way since she first started her Instagram page in 2021, and she attracted over a million followers in just three years. It’s been a joy to watch her skills evolve as she made progress with her illustrations and started working on more complex animated videos.
One thing that didn’t change are the themes she enjoys exploring through her art, and there’s a reason why mushrooms often take center stage. Abi decided to put them front and center because they are “quirky and strange, yet cute little beings”, and it’s extremely fun to come up with personalities for them because there are so many species out there.
Abi’s Mushlings became so popular that she decided to build a whole world around them. In addition to prints and stickers, she’s also selling sweaters, shirts, and plushies inspired by her illustrations, and we’ve recently seen her co-create a board game called Mycelium, where they take center stage.

]]>These sculptures look like they were formed by a glass web and appear in various forms ranging from human figures to birds and insects. Saito uses both colored and see-through glass, adding another layer of visual appeal to her works.
To create her pieces, Saito uses a unique technique that she describes as “stringer work.” According to the artist, this technique “adds artistry and delicacy to contemporary glass woven work.” It involves stretching and weaving borosilicate glass and results in “breathtakingly beautiful” works while also allowing her to “express an elegant worldview.”
Besides creating large-scale sculptures, Saito also uses “stringer work” to create smaller pieces and jewelry like earrings and necklaces.
“All works are created with the underlying theme of “breathtaking,” Saito explains on her website.
Saito exhibited these impressive glass sculptures in art galleries across Japan while also presenting her newest creations on social media. You can check out more of them by scrolling below.

]]>Tsurutaka became interested in making jewelry while still in college, and she founded her own brand in 2011. Its name Black Barc is the love letter to traditional Japanese blacksmithing techniques since she’s committed to hand-forging her jewelry instead of relying on molds.
Ever since Black Barc Jewelry opened its doors, Tsurutaka hand-crafted several collections inspired by nature. The brand’s signature “Hebi” line was inspired by snakes, and they also found success with the skull-themed collection “Doku” and flower-themed line “Hana”.
Nature was always Tsurutaka’s main driving force, and she’s often inspired by creatures that other people find terrifying, including insects. They were at the center of the brand’s “Mushi” collection, which features wearable art inspired by many different species.
Tsurutaka is a huge fan of beetles, and it’s not a coincidence that her jewelry usually takes the shape of these insects. They’re her personal favorites, and they’re the reason why she started working on the “Mushi” line in the first place before deciding to make jewelry inspired by other species, as well.

]]>“I love to draw, I love food, so I thought why not try using thread as a medium and combine the things I love and am interested in?” she explained in an interview with Dark Yellow Dot.
When it comes to the creative process itself, Avery has it down to a science: “I have developed a process that I know works for me in my creative process,” she says. Depending on the piece she’s working on, so will the process vary.
“For my bigger plates of food I cook the dish, compose the food for the correct photo, and then take many photos to capture the food in its best light and composition,” she says. “The other approach I take is to make a colored sketch for a photo I have taken or a combination of photos to create the best image ready to stitch.” She then draws a very basic sketch on fabric and changes it as she goes along.
Aside from food, she also embroiders portraits. Those often feature icons like Iris Apfel and Malala Yousafzai. “I’m always thinking of new ideas and yet there is not enough time to do them all,” she says. “I’m always excited to start new projects.” We’re just as excited!

]]>The post Understanding Intimacy Through Art: Hiejin Yoo’s Paintings appeared first on MagazineBlogger.
]]>Take for instance Hiejin Yoo’s paintings. Based on daily observations, they capture mundane moments—snapshots in time—that make the tapestry of memory and feelings. Moments like reaching out your hands to touch a friend, pet a dog, or grab a fruit.
Mundane events and everyday moments are depicted with large abstracted planes of color and bold, layered marks that evoke the subjectivity of Yoo’s inner life. But oddly enough, these very personal moments have a truthfulness about them that resonates with others.
“The motivations of my works are from very personal stories, but they’re also from everyday life,” shared Yoo in an interview with Juxtapoz. “I’ve met lots of people who have told me personal stories based on their own interpretations of the works, so I think people must be reminiscing about their own personal experiences when they see my work in their homes.”
According to Yoo, being able to express those experiences as paintings and sharing them with other people has been exciting and she’s grateful for it. “I hope those who view my works can also find happiness in their lives when thinking about these moments with their families, friends, or sometimes strangers,” she notes.
It is through these relatable snapshots that a connection is made, and intimacy is being translated to visual experience. “The paintings draw connections between my own personal experiences and those of others,” relays Yoo. “By highlighting and amplifying these moments, my work responds to the otherwise overlooked and underappreciated aspects of daily life. While deeply personal, these works also hint at the ways art can address shared feelings and experiences, whether grandiose or mundane.”
Born in Germany, raised in South Korea, and based in Los Angeles, California since 2015, Yoo admits that painting has been a huge passion throughout her life. “Living in the United States with a Korean cultural background inspires me more because of the differences between them,” she notes.

]]>A Pomeranian rescue from Northern Ontario, and currently based in Toronto, Chewy’s enjoys a busy schedule. Both an actor and a model, he has featured in independent films like Humor Me and has been seen on the set of the film The Secret Life of Pets.
According to owner Nicole, Chewy’s career skyrocketed largely thanks to social media: “When I sent photos to friends, I would put different-sized items beside him to show them how small he was,” she shared in an interview with Animal Wellness Magazine. “All the photos went on my personal Instagram and I realized it was slowly becoming his own account.”
These days, Chewy’s wardrobe includes anything from pineapple printed shirts to pinstripe straight-leg pants. He also enjoys sporting trendy eyewear.
“One of my favorite stories about Chewy happened at our first Pet Expo,” recalled Nicole. “A little boy had just got a pair of glasses and was very insecure about them. Chewy loves wearing glasses and happened to be wearing a pair that day. I’ll never forget the moment that little boy saw Chewy with his glasses. Suddenly, it was like glasses were the best thing in the world!”
According to Nicole, Chewy’s favorite pastimes include dressing up to travel, making appearances across North-America, and hopping from one sunny patio to the next. We’d love to come along!
