I found this tutorial on youtube and the evolution of this sketch into vector is very amazing. In addition, the soundtrack is not very bad!

Centquatre, new artistic place in Paris
The Centquatre (104) openened in October 2008 and is one of the former Municipal Funeral Service of Paris. This building has been renovated and is now dedicated to artistic projects from all over the world. 200 artists can stay on site at the same site. Centquatre provides to those artists with the technical, financial and human resources for creating their work. And the most interesting fact is that public can watch the artists during the creation of their work and can be involved in the progress of the artistic works.
Adrien Rovero, industrial designer is one of the many artists who are staying at 104.
Here is an example of its work:

I really like the cute dresses that seem to come from another age, yet quite in tune with todays fashion. In particular Singapore fashion where girls are extra feminine...

I like the following refreshing photos contrasting with the warm of Singapore that we have to bear everyday. Scarlett Hooft Graafland is a photographer who spent 4 months with the Eskimos. You can read this interesting interview to know a little more about her work and her spirit, but also the life in extreme condition. Check also her portfolio.

Original T-shirts designed by Dave Decat
I don't know why but I find it's more and more difficult to find original t-shirts. The t-shirts we can find on these new online shop seems all the same (except for the shops Fabrikade and crowning stroke that I found totally awesome).
Sixpack is an online shop but has also physical shop in France. I like this shop because their products are very original and are designed by young artists that are far to be mainstream...
I have selected those t-shirts designed by Dave Decat as a good sample that we can find on Sixpack:

Famous french comic: Le petit Nicolas
In English speaking countries you might know him as Little Nicholas, this little boy comes straight out of the imagination of two huge french artists : Jean-jaques Sempé, great designer and Rene Goscinny father of Asterix and Obelix. Every child in France has read the stories and adventures of Nicholas, not always so discplined, never mean, always so witty.Why am I telling you about this charming little boy? Because I found a wonderfull bookshop that sells Little Nicholas stories in Singapore : Books actually is a Lovely place for whoever likes to browse and get lost among tones of books. They seem to have been all carefully chosen to display classics and more recent litterature with great attention to details such as the books cover and its design.
Books Actually also dispaly artists and hosts events...go and check out their Facebook page.
I'll share with you my findings from this bookshop, this morning I finished Breakfast At Tiffany's bought there...I know almost 30 and hadn't ever read it. I loved it.

Artist based in Singapore: Milica
Lets share more about Milica, one of the most talented artist we discovered at the Art Affair @ Wessex. We met this warm welcoming lady in her cosy appartment/galerie/workshop at the Wessex estate. Milica is from, Ex-yougoslavia, "the country where people have too much soul" as she puts it herself.
She definitly pored her surplus of soul in creating paintings that blend Singapore spirit and Eastern Europe. Using the technique of ink stampings, she re-ususes the paterns of the fabulous tiles you find in old shophouses in Chinatown and reproduces them in colourful manners. Something that reminds of Warhol and the photography reproductions he made back in the times of the Factory.
