Maxim Shkret

May 11, 2021 12:03 AM \

These stunning digital illustrations are the work of Moscow-base illustrator and designer, Maxim Shkret.  The artist has over 10 years of experience in the field of graphic design and art direction for various advertising firms.  He mixes a unique method of 3D modeling with carefully applied shadow that evoke paper-like sculptures.  He writes this about his work:

“Being a strong advocate of experiments on the intersection of digital and physical, I firmly believe that imagination is free from any constraints and boundaries. It is a powerful engine that fuels the creative process allowing to propel the aesthetics of the visual art to new heights. Nowadays, the imagination is further equipped with the latest evolving technologies, which make it possible to refine the visual breakthroughs on the continuous basis.”

More of his work can be viewed on his website, Behance and Instagram.  He has a shop here at Society 6.

Jordan Buschur

Jordan Buschur is an artist, educator and curator currently residing in Lincoln, Nebraska. She received an M.F.A. from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York.  The artist comes from a long line of collectors, and her paintings reflect this proclivity towards amassing objects.  On Create Magazine she  says this about her work:

“My paintings implant ordinary objects with psychological meanings, implying a human presence through depictions of accumulated collections. These collections, ranging from books to junk drawers to packed boxes, focus on the oscillation between private meaning and public presentation.” 

“Painting the array of collected objects in a drawer is an act of meditation on my relationship with the owner, as I dwell on the mundane details of their accumulated junk. Yet the paintings stop short of functioning as a portrait of an individual through their amassed objects. Instead, the collections point towards the material weight of modern life, the anxiety of consumption, and the anonymity of personal effects.”

Maru-Maru

Wouldn’t at all mind receiving one of these embroidered cards sold under the brand name, Maru-Maru.  As typical of many Japanese handmade shops very little is written about the maker.   WE can only find this about the maker: “I love cute things!” ︎”I love delicious food! ︎”.  

Her shop can be found here at Minne.
