South Korean fine artist, RISD graduate and Associate Professor at the Department of Visual Art, University of Kansas, Yoonmi Nam, creates exquisitely delicate sumi ink drawings of deconstructed pieces of architecture that are utterly breathtaking.Taking her Kansas surroundings as inspiration, Yoonmi Nam rips apart the structures that populate her locale, using the broken masses as “a metaphor to communicate transience and impermanence, and perhaps our desire for permanence and immortality.”

Argentinean sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas creates enormous sculptural works that seem like remnants of a science fiction movie set, or bizarre moments from a surreal dream.

Matteo Cibic is a product designer and creative problem solver. He loves to invent new products by working with craftsmen that are interested in experimenting with different materials and production techniques.

Matteo’s creative process is often sparked by basic things such as ideas that come from the subject and the materials and from his knowledge and study of production mechanisms. These help him to search for new technical solutions and working techniques which can then be transformed and used to create new objects. One of the outstanding aspects of Matteo’s products is that they often hide unexpected functions, creating an interaction with the user.

Today’s artist on Tumblr feature - Evie Cahir!

Who are you and what are you doing here?
I study/draw things in Melbourne just like everybody else. If ‘here’ is Tumblr then I am wasting hours staring down my computer screen.

What is your favorite medium to work with?
My favourite medium is probably watercolors, I’ve been laying down some colors for my drawing and I really like the depth and clarity it adds. Though pencil and paper will forever&always have a special place on my desk.

You usually try to capture small details and things from everyday life. Why so?
To be honest, I don’t really notice that I capture things from everyday life. I guess I simply draw whatever is on my mind so they would naturally be familiar or recognisable [mainly food, hands and junk from my room.

What is your favorite color to use and why?
My favourite color[s] to use, apart from my crusty old watercolor kit is ‘Warm Grey Stonehenge’. Seriously, the color of those tasty sheets of paper is perfect for basically every drawing.

How much time do you spend on an artwork on average?
I don’t exactly time myself— but it varies from shitty 2 minute drawings or sometimes I like to sit down and commit to a solid 3 hour pencil study—But usually I spend around 45 minutes on the majority of my recent ‘comic’ style work, watercolor included.

What is your favorite time of the day? Why?
My favourite time of the day is either super early [..around 8-10 am] when I ridin’ the caffeine high. Or late [any time after 11 am] when I am deep in a drawing-daze.
