Canadian-born artist Ben Tour (b. 1977) channels a dark, often haunting sense of humanism in his work.
His observations deftly inform his paintings, enabling him to capture the essence of a character, and then distort that view any way he desires. Frenetic lines, swaths of color, and intimate angles all convey a sense that Tour may not only be drawing inspiration from the lives of strangers he observes, but manifesting his own personal experiences as well.
Interactive Display Window
Project from Marcus Wallander at Hyper Island in Stockholm. They created this interactive window display for a street-wear clothing brand called WeSC. The idea was to have the brand and clothing interact with people as they walk past.
Lovely!

Industrialized design
I am happy to write this… finally 860 items has been cut! Our first supplier did not want to work. So last Tuesday I stepped through a new place, my last possibility. The day after I spend the whole evening with them digitalizing the patterns, I feel proud to work with the best ones 🙂
Ten thousand pieces are ready to be.
