KaranSinghKaran Singh is an Australian artist and illustrator living in Tokyo. He draws inspiration from graphic design conceptions and op-art minimalism. We find it best to let the artist explain their work as he does here on Sugarlift:

“My work is an study of interaction using the notion of ‘presence through absence’. I’ve found that stripping images back completely to convey contour and depth through simple forms and repetition, exposes this interaction. Composition too, is a subject and tool I explore, particularly in communicating one’s relationship with their environments. My use of bold and vibrant colours reflects a playful curiosity in my ongoing explorations and culminates in an abstract re-imagination of traditional still life imagery.”

AnneUlkuAnne Ulku is an independent illustrator, designer and typographer based in Minneapolis, MN. She has created this stitch font which was inspired by the embroidery stitch options on the computerized sewing machine. “Each character includes illustrated patterns of common stitches and details that have come together to form a full alphabet.” On an interview with Light Grey Art Lab she says this about creating:

“As a creative, it is always important to just keep creating. Being able to commit to a daily or a weekly project forces you to always be thinking of the next and to always stay inspired. Experimentation happens quite a bit through this process, as with this volume of work, you’re always looking to do better than the last, or to try something new. It is a learning process with both producing work, and with your own visual style. As you keep creating, it can expand your own library of design and illustrations, as well as finding the best way to produce the objectives for a project.”
