Laura Laine is a fashion illustrator based in Helsinki, Finland. Since completing her studies in fashion design she has been working full-time as a freelance illustrator and teaching fashion illustration. Her delicately drafted, haute couture-inspired pencil drawings walk a fine line between the elegance of high fashion and the defiant attitude of gothic fantasy, echoing the lean and lanky figures of Aubrey Beardsley. Laine's recent clients include Vogue Japan, Sephora, and H&M, and she has also exhibited work in London, NYC, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

The staff was going back through some of our more design, fashion heavy features from the past few years, and we remembered how much we love the works of NYC-based art director and illustrator, Deanne Cheuk. Originally from Perth, Australia, Cheuk has done work for American Express, Dell, Lane Crawford, Levi's, Microsoft, Nickelodeon, Nokia, Nike, Converse, Olay, Sprint, Swatch, Target, MTV, Gap, Real Simple, The Guardian, T Magazine and The New York Times Magazine... and Conan. Here is our interview with the artist from April, 2010.

Sky High Gallery just opened the first Milwaukee exhibit by San Francisco based artist Kyle Ranson, who spent the last week in the gallery painting a site specific mural. In addition to the mural he will be installing paintings and performing a special set of music at the opening event. The new body of work is called Ships.

We have shown you the crazy liquid kiss sculptures by Mr Tsang on the site before, and today we have a look at the wide-range of sculpture works that the artist is capable of. His work is both surreal and photoreal, and takes porcelain and steel and transforms them into fine art and other-worldly scenarios.

On June 8, one million handcrafted bones constructed from clay, paper machete and other materials were placed in the National Mall in Washington D.C. in a visible protest against ongoing genocide and mass atrocities. Organized by The Art of Revolution, the bones were created by artists, educators, students and activists from around the globe and weighed in at a total of 130,000 pounds of bones!

As the publication between design agency Topsafe London and superblog 'HurtYouBad', Concealed Intentions brings us its debut issue with the intention of becoming the first magazine to focus on street culture without the obvious presence of graffiti. With feature content highlighting international icons, Horfe, Roid, Stephen Schuster, Gary Warnett, Sean Vegezzi, Smart Crew and sprinkles of nudity, explosions and a few surprises, their collaboration into the world of print is coming out swinging. We speak with director and founder, Freddie Fraser Forsyth, about the new publication.

This morning we take a look at the work of American sculptor and printmaker Lee Bontecou. Lee mainly focused on sculpture at first but after the 1960s she began restricting herself largely to drawing and printmaking.

Mona Kuhn is curating a show entitled Under My Skin: Nudes in Contemporary Photography at Flowers Gallery in New York City opening June 20th. THe exhibition is a selection of works created mostly in the last five years reflecting how we are currently representing the nude through photography. In an interview with Le Journal de Photographie, Mona states, "It is a fascinating subject to me. Trends in art come and go, but the Nude remains a canon of high art, like a shadow we cannot jump away from..."

We are enjoying the paintings of artist Emily Burns this morning. Emily is based out of LEmont, Pennsylvania and NYC!

Before we watched the movie Butter a few weeks ago we had no idea that butter and food sculpture was even really a thing. Jim Victor and his wife Marie Pelton travel the country as a duo carving and sculplting everything from chocolate to Kraft cheese, butter, and Subway sandwiches. We are entertained.
