My first pasta maker print!

It was so much fun to finally get back to some printmaking and feel confident in working in my makeshift home studio. I have been interested in Collagraph printing for a while, and wanted to try a relief technique as most people I’ve seen go for an etching style. The design is based on my Arabia of Finland teapot I found at an estate sale a few years ago (designed by Ulla Procope).

If you’re a mid century mod lover, you have to see this stunning 1970 home in North Carolina. Look at the original front door knob- it’s the zodiac. 

Entrance foyer- look at the door knob and plate on the other side of the front door.

This home has only had 2 owners and the current one has some fabulous art on display.

To the right of the entrance hall is the magnificent living room. 

The living room gets a lot of natural light. Notice the original parquet floor that was popular in that era.

The living room, dining room, kitchen, and master bedroom all have access to this fabulous atrium. There’s also a gate to go out onto the property from the atrium.

The original kitchen is decorated with typically MCM furniture.

The master bedroom is decorated with beautiful art and classy furniture pieces.

Master bath.

Since the owners only need one bedroom, they’re using the other 2 bedrooms as a family room and den.

Bath #2.

Bedroom #3 is a den.

Gorgeous library. Look at the color.

Rear view of the house and atrium, plus the lovely shaded property.

Debut Art is pleased to announce that we are now representing Bekologic.

Bekologic aka Joonho Brian Ko is an illustrator and a graphic designer currently based in Seoul. He was born in South Korea, grew up in India, and studied in the UK. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Illustration & Animation from the Kingston University of Art, He initially began his career as a graphic designer at Orla Kiely. He later found his particular penchant in the visual experiment of modernizing the Asian folk aesthetics in the form of digital illustration. His works have since been featured at Wepresent, DNMD, and It’sNiceThat. Influenced by Asian folklore and art, Mid-century modern designs, and pop culture, he puts his focus on highlighting simplified figures with meticulous details that penetrate through the theme. Reasoning from this, his creative process begins by shaping out the blank space. He believes that ‘to fully complete, start by emptying’. In the accomplishment of this, he seeks to explore in-depth study of a theme there is either visually, textually, or conceptually. Joonho is committed to any project there is where his illustration style can be interestingly applied, as proven from his experience with various Editorial illustrations, Site-Specific Media Performance, and Animation.   His recent clients include: The North Face, Folio Society, Robb Report, Refinery29, Coex Seoul, Korean-Arab Cultural Centre, and Korean National Folk Museum.
