Uncertain Journey: A Flotilla of Wireframe Boats Overflow With a Dense Canopy of Red Yarn

[madxstitcher-legacy-blog]

I’m having a giveaway!  Why?  Because I feel like it.  No milestone to celebrate, or anything.  Just wanting to give some stuff away.

So, what am I giving away?  My entire floss catalogue!  I’ll be drawing one winner at the end of the giveaway, and that winner will get one skein of each colour of floss in the MadXStitcher catalogue.  And maybe more, if there’s new stuff in the works that haven’t been listed yet.

At the time of this posting, that’s 74 skeins of floss.  This includes the new Neon range, which will definitely be expanding over the next few weeks.

Here’s some extra info in dot point form:

The winner will be drawn on August 1st, via random number generator.

Captivating Knitted Illustrations by Rania Hassan

Rania Hassan is a DC-based artist, designer, painter, knitter, and printmaker. Her online shop Goshdarnknit caters original art, hand-print, notebooks and the perfect gifts to everybody. The artist is obsessed with moleskin material and original art illustrations.

Her knitted painting 3D series has been influenced by her recent discovery of the online community of knitters from around the planet.

The project is a series of paintings linked together by the yarn extending from the image. It escapes from one hand drawn illustration and spills out of each frame. The network of thread bridging one sketch to another is Rania Hassan’s interpretation of her ancestry. You can find more of her work in her Etsy shop.

A Milan, Italy based street artist known only as Biancoshock has been garnering some attention in the past few days for his curious new series of miniature rooms set within his local city streets. Underneath manhole covers and openings in the pavement, he has built elaborate and even luxurious interiors titled “Borderlife”, a series while surreal and evoking images of Alice’s tumbling rabbit-hole, takes its inspiration from a very real and serious issue.

The Kelpies; Falkirk, Scotland.

These giant metal sculptures were installed 2013 and opened to the public in 2014. A part of the developing Helix complex, made to unite several communities in the Falkirk area, these 30-metre high horse heads create a dramatic view in day or at night.

Fragile Crocheted Leaf Sculptures by Susanna Bauer

[hifructosemag]

German artist Monika Grzymala describes her art as being more like drawing than installation works, drawn with sticky tape which wraps and transforms the surrounding space. “Whenever I leave a work, I feel as if I leave a part of me, a part of my body behind,” she says, referring to the performative aspects of her work, where creating each piece requires a physical effort on her part. Her energy as the artist lends itself to the fluidity and dynamic appearance of the tape, which seems to explode from the walls with force.

Here is a comic I made for the newest issue of Broken Pencil Magazine (#60, summer 2013).  Note: I ignored most of my own advice to get this thing done.  Update: I cross-posted this to my regular blog so that it’s a readable size, and not that crappy, microscopic tumblr size.

People often ask me stuff about working from home. This comic lines up pretty close with my personal feelings on it, and is told better than I can usually manage.  I have trouble with some of these from time to time… It’s a struggle.
