    Amanda Wachob treats human skin like a delicate canvas. This New York City-based conceptual artist ha s quickly made a name for herself by using the tattoo medium to push the boundaries between fine artand body art with masterful effect.

    Her abstract tattoo designs appear as strokes of watercolour paintdelicately brushed onto the skin. Similarly, her conceptual tattoosuse distilled water in place of indelible ink so that the piece isimpermanent but leaves a trace as the body heals.

    How did you get interested in design and illustration?

    I went to a community college before going to university.I took three classes from an illustrator, who really got meexcited about illustration and design. I remember going tothe library there and just loving the Annuals (CommunicationArts, Society of Illustrators, etc.), just absorbing everything Icould about illustration (this was in 1992: pre-internet!).

    How did you become an illustrator?

    School did not prepare me very well. I learned a few basicsabout techniques, materials, and sketches, but I had no ideahow to ET work. I needed to promote myself (obviously)but I really did not know how to do this. The business side Ipicked up years after I got out of school and started asking

    friends what to do. ike most illustrators, I began taking jobsand working on projects at home in my bedroom at nightwhile working various odd jobs like delivering chips andsalsa, substitute teaching and working in art stores.I got married, moved to New York and started to make areal living as an illustrator.... no day job, no safety net.

    What is your average day like?

    I share a studio with four other illustrators here inreenpoint, rooklyn. We all live and work in rooklyn.

    We hang out. We eat lunch together. We whine about artdirectors and talk about our work. Thats it. It beats workingfrom my bedroom, but the downside is sometimes you dontget tons of work done because the socialising is more fun.

    What was one of the most inspiring moments foryou creatively?

    ne of the most exciting moments in my life (from a creativestandpoint) was when I bought an old letterpress with mybrother years ago. We gured out how to operate it andmade some beautiful work. That was an amazing learningexperience, but the best part was that I started using

    hotoshop right at the same time, laying out my artworkin three layers (to make letterpress plates and print in 3colors). hotoshop and letterpress printing have alwaysbeen linked in my mind and if you look at my work, I thinkyou see that. I have sort of adopted a printers techniquefor using the computer as a tool. I draw everything by hand,create textures with a brayer, scan old papers, sometimespaint swatches with a brush and ink...then I put it all

    together in hotoshop. I dont think Ill ever get too faraway from this aesthetic of making the work feel old.I guess I just love art from the past too much. I haventever felt the need to make my work feel modern or slick.

    What advice would you give to designers andillustrators who are just starting in the business?

    I always tell students to be creative, do it yourself, and doit differently than everyone else. ove it or try somethingelse and most important...be patient.

    After having completed a BA in design at ISIA (Florence, Italy)and Bauhaus University (Weimar, Germany), in 2008, hegraduated from the Sandberg Institute, master course of theRietveld Academy, in Amsterdam. In 2010, Marco was granteda scholarship for a three-month residency at JACA, Center forContemporary Art in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

    Per Color is the project he completed during his stay there.The project is a series of photographs displaying supermarketproducts divided according to colour:

    I see the supermarket space as a space ofmanipulation. The attempt, in this action, is tosubvert this structure of power. The pictures havebeen taken in collaboration with photographer

    edro Motta , in a supermarket in the sameneighbourhood of the art center. None of theproducts have been bought after the shooting.

    Marcos artworks are both media and site-specific with a strongconceptual and narrative charge. He likes to deal with the publicspace in its broadest sense. By working in context, his artworksencourage philosophical and political reflection.

    There is nothing like the sweet smell of something baking inthe oven. Its comforting, familiar, and sprinkled with all thatlove and tenderness that only a homemade dish can produce.So what did the clever Swedes at IKEA do? They commissioneda book that brought to life all the comforting goodness of bakedgoods, coupled with the clean minimalism that only the Swedes or Japanese could produce.

    Hem-Bakat r Bst, translated as Homemade is best, is anunconventional baking book produced for IKEA that compiles30 classic Swedish baking recipes, ranging from biscuits tolarge cakes. But this baking book is unlike any other bakingbook that anyone has seen before. Instead of highlighting theend result (in typical close-up gastro-porn fashion) the bookputs the ingredients and process at centre stage:

    We let ourselves be inspiredby high ashion and Japaneseminimalism. The idea o thebook became to tone downthe actual cake and put theingredients in ocus. The recipesare presented as graphic still-li eportraits on a warm and colour ulstage. And when you turn the pageyou see the antastic resultEach element of a recipe, from the flour to the eggs, isbeautifully styled and arranged, making every image inthe book a visual and culinary feast.

    IKEA Homemade is Best

    Throughout this amazing 140-page baking book, theconnection between IKEAs kitchen appliances and baking isachieved with sophistication and spectacular visual effect.If you are a book lover, designer, artist, aesthete, food lover orcook, you will definitely love this book.

    Hem-Bakat r Bst has become so successful that the concepthas been developed into an exercise-relatediPhone app, where

    you earn or work off the calories for each cake.

    Guim Ti Zarraluki

    Guim Ti is a young artist from Barcelona, Spain.He studied at the University of Art in Barcelona,where he majored in painting. His influencesinclude: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frantiek Kupkaand Francis Bacon, as well as more contemporary influences like Conrad Roset, Irene Bou, Andrew Hem, Jennifer Davis and Edward Kinsella.

    Guim Ti is known for his disturbing, yet beautiful,portraits that make bold use of colour and composition.By painting directly onto images of models in fashionmagazines, he questions the concept of beauty promotedby the fashion industry with humour, irony and a cheeky sense of provocation. The almost monstrous way in which hetransforms these fashionable and glamorous images standsas a metaphor for manipulating the body through plasticsurgery or even genetic manipulation. They reveal the darkside hiding behind perfect images of beauty and glamour.

    Guim Tis work can be seen as a cynical reflectionon the condition of contemporary society. He shines acritical spotlight on the problematic images that areso often repeated and disseminated through television,advertising and print media, to challenge conventionalnotions of beauty and humanity.

    Translating data into a well designed and easy-to-understand visual representation is a tricky thing.Success ul in ormation graphics have to e ectivelybalance great design with meaty analytical data.When we came across the work o designer Peterrnto t we were amazed by his ability to do both withseemingly e ortless precision.

    Information Graphics in Context is one o his strongestprojects, which translates data about the interests othe Danish people. Peter used the speci c opinionpolls by a major consultancy company in Denmark,that outlined each interest, to shape and design hisdiagrams. Each in ormation graphic uses photographyand clear visual iconography to relay in ormation simplyand easily. By doing so readers can understand morelayers o in ormation.

    In the section that deals with re ugees andimmigrants, the ocus o the interest deals withwhether or not Danes think it is ethical to wearreligious symbols in public pro essions. Peter usedtraditional religious symbols like a rosary, yarmulkeand hijab to explain the data visually. For example,in the in ormation graphic that deals with wearingIslamic headscarves (hijab), Peter used a strikingphotograph o the pro le o a Muslim womanwhose scar is multi-coloured. The positioningand shape o the scar suggests the shape o apie chart with each coloured section representing

    a di erent percentage o the data, a clever solutionto relaying statistics in a more interesting manner.

    The project was compiled and designed into abox set containing 10 leafets including in ormationabout the interest and the ocus o the interest.This allows the reader to get an overview o thelist o the social related interests, as well asproviding more detailed in ormation abouteach o the 10 interests.

    Tien-Min Liao was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan.After graduating with a BA in advertising from the NationalChengchi University in Taiwan, she received a scholarship tofurther her studies at the Pratt Institute in the United States.

    Tien-

    MinLiao

    Her Ilha Formosa project was born out of the Tien-Minsdesire to promote Taiwan through striking visual graphics:

    When I came to the United States,I noticed that many people dontknow my hometown Taiwan.Some people couldnt even tellthe difference between Taiwanand Thailand, just because theysound alike. As a designer, Ithought I should do something topromote this beautiful island.

    The name Ilha Formosa, which translates as beautifulisland, was given to Taiwan by Portuguese explorers whenthey sailed past the island in the 16th century.

    Tien-Min wanted to do something very different from otherbooks about Taiwan. She didnt want it to be a tourist guideor a boring government-published book; instead her aim wasto deliver information about Taiwan in an interesting andcasual manner. We think she did a mighty fine job.

    The Ilha Formosa promotional set includes a book,bookmark and poster, designed to introduce Taiwan toreaders who are unfamilia r with the island. T he book isa wonderful collection of delicate paper infographicsthat translate facts and statistics about Taiwan intominiature paper masterpieces.

    old neon colours and dry Englishhumour were used to liven up the

    packaging and inject the brand witha more youthful tone. A character wascreated for each tea in the existingTwinings line and rendered in agraphic line drawing on the side ofeach cylindrical container. The conceptwas to get into the head of each of thecharacters, so when you lift the lidof the container each tea bag revealsanother clever quip.

    1. Vintage Photographs I can spend hours pouring over old family portraits andphotographs looking at family resemblances. I love thedemeanour and formality portraiture had in the past always an occasion! This is one of my most favourite, aportrait of my beloved grandmother.

    2. Religious Icons aised a Catholic, I love religious iconography in all shapes

    and sizes, and these two ivory Madonnas are my favourites:the one so frail, the other so focused and pious.

    3. Buttons & Thread I love stitching and thread painting fabric so thread is anobvious choice. Thread is my paint, or ink, as I slowly learnto thread paint. aberdashery is such an old-fashionedconcept another object almost extinct is my collection ofmother-of-pearl buttons.

    4. Antique Lace and Vintage Table LinenThese were sourced while ambling around rance onSundays looking for vintage embroidered table linen andold lace to add to my collection. With lace its the fact thatsomebody has sat patiently, hour after hour, creating thesedelicate creations that amazes me I yearn to have hugeexpanses of time to create beautiful things.

    5. Chapeaux Motsch Hatbox from ParisMy husband, atrick, bought me not one but two hats fromthis luxury milliner in aris, not realising the exorbitantprice. I would have been happy with just the beautiful box.

    6. Bones, Animal Skulls and HornsI like their shapes and elegant lines, most of them found.

    7. Glass Cloches I love seeing objects encased within them, theVictorians housed small taxidermied animals, but Iprefer containing things like stinky blue cheese, piles ofplates or precious books. I never have enough books and justhad to have a few with the covers reversed to blend in witheverything! I think Im going to turn all my books cover- jackets inside out!

    8. Wooden PuppetI like the imperfection his tiny hands, his huge feet andoddly shaped head, a reminder that perfect proportion isnot always essential when creating art, nor dressingimperfect bodies.

    9. Hand and gloves My youngest son ieran made this elegant clay hand and Ilove it. It goes hand-in-glove with white gloves, an essentialwhen shooting and styling jewellery shoots but also asymbol of another era.

    10. Fragrance I am obsessed with the way a fragrance sets a sceneor creates an image. No out t is complete without it.My current favourites are Tom ords White atchouli - sexyand sophisticated; Jean aul aultier e Male - fresh andsummery and enzo Amour - spicy and exotic. rchids alsocapture this inspiration; their strangely diverse blooms areirresistible. Im currently lusting for a host rchid.
