Jose Antonio Gonzalez Carrasco is a Barcelona based freelance illustrator who spurred on by his love of women and the female form, a fascination with death/myth, a passion for experimentation, ink, pixels, pastel, paint and something of a zest for life has worked for such clients as Zara, Bershka, El Corte Ingles, Dunnes Store, Lefties and Friday's Project. I am intrigued to find out if the city titled pieces featuring a bevy of beauties from around the world are merely allegorical or proof of a string of sexual conquests? Either way, he's a lucky guy, and that's one hell of a life and/or imagination.

Paper Cut Tapestries by Tomoko Shioyasu

It's amazing what people can do with paper these days, there's origami, paper sculpting, paper modelling, but this one's a new one on me, paper cut tapestries. Tomoko Shioyasu's meticulously hand cut room height paper banners feature some very complex and complicated organic patterns and her traditional techniques using little more than a sharp knife and a soldering iron portray a deep connection with the forces of nature.

 

 

Shioyasu majored in sculpture at the Kyoto City University of Arts and she hasn't looked back since. In her latest work, “Vortex” is on show as we speak as part of the Bye Bye Kitty!!! Between Heaven and Hell in Japanese Art exhibition at Japan Society in New York which opened today and runs through June 12. 50% of all proceeds from ticket sales to Japan Society programming including this show are being donated to relief efforts in Japan right now. Here’s a video to fill in the gaps:
