I am walking around in a daze. Obviously not while I’m typing this. But I will be.

TeeFury only sells one unique tee a day. That’s right, just one. And it’s usually pretty awesome. Don’t let me hear you complaining about having too much choice ever again.

They’re unique! They’re cheap! And … ooh, they’re screen-printed.

Keep an eye on TeeFury, you might see someone you know there soon!

(And by “soon”, I mean “this Saturday the 19th of June”. And by “someone”, I mean “me”.)

Please note that TeeFury runs on California time, which is 15 hours behind Perth.

Gurney’s blog is an excellent repository of news and information for artists, and as you will see, his vivid and meticulous painting style has only gotten better with time.

I especially like this little tip he recently posted, about finding a drawing subject that will sit still long enough for you to get some detail in.

Joel also has a blog (http://joeltrussell.blogspot.com/) where you can see what he’s been up to and working on. I’ve already subscribed to the feed. The links sidebar in his blog is a treasure trove of new artists to discover–I’ll get through them all one day!

They reminded me of Parisian women, immaculate but not cold, feminine but not overtly sexy, a little old-fashioned but not definitely not old. I would have come home with a wardrobe full of clothes, if only the damn things had fit over my wide shoulders and ample bosom.

I didn’t have a camera with me at the time, but I can still remember looking wide-eyed at the women on the street and the department store mannequins, wondering, why, oh why didn’t we have anything like this in Australia? (Actually, I think we do, but you need an income of a gazillion dollars to dress like this here.)

Now I can show you what I mean. Have a look at the work of Seiko Ohmori (Ohmori is her surname), and her three-dimensional illustrations of women with angel faces and clothes you wish were yours. She makes them from polymer clay, then photographs and digitally manipulates them.

Something I knocked up quickly for Illustration Friday.

When I saw this week’s theme, “detach”, all I could think of were cells dividing. This is a little homage to Gary Larson, but the scientific basis behind his cartoons is probably more sound.
