Matei Apostolescu is freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Bucharest, Romania, EU. His works are really intricate and beautiful to wander at. When creating illustration he uses complex shapes and patterns and pays a lot of attention to the smallest details, as detail has always been one of his favorite things. via (meaning-full)
‘Why not spruce up your cooking venture with this big beast from the east? The Kitchen Kong Whisk from Fred & Friends is a really neat little kitchen utensil. The blue kong will watch intently and hold its breath as you dunk him and whisk those pesky eggs or batter in the morning. The cleanup is rather easy since both the handle and the gorilla attached is made of 100% silicone. This brings a little wildness to your kitchen aside from the standard, boring old whisk. The kids will love it and the inner geek will love it even more so.’ Link here.

Lily Mae Martin is an Australian born visual artist. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2008, upon which she was awarded the Lionel Gell Traveling Scholarship and subsequently moved to Berlin, where her practice is currently based. The basis of Lily’s style grew from a strong focus on human anatomy and etching styles, however traveling hindered her ability to access a press. She subsequently developed a technique to replicate the printmaking style using felt tipped ink pens; building up layers and layers of line to create tone and form. More recently her practice has swung toward a focus on oil painting and portraiture. Although Lily states that her intention is not to unsettle the viewer, she portrays people in an honest, raw and emotional way that often has been described as “confronting” and “brutally beautiful”. Influences include Jenny Saville and Lucian Freud.

“In my art I am trying to depict the variety of character and appearance in people which amazes me. I am astonished how people act and express themselves in different circumstances and situations. Human nature is so deep; that is why it can never be defined, why it is so interesting and fragile. There is a strong connection between humour and sadness. Life is curious.” – Lilia Mazurkevich
‘The pieces in this series look like they weren’t made by hands, but have grown to their present form organically. They might be the result of a mutation in cells, or the result of a chemical or nuclear reaction. Perhaps it’s a virus or bacteria that has grown dramatically out of scale. The Mutation pieces make you look at furniture in a different way.’ Designed by Maarten De Ceulaer. Click here for the link.
