Embroidery month continues here at Colossal. After a road trip across the U.S., Buckinghamshire-based artist Peter Crawley was inspired to stitch his travels onto a map. Apparently Crawley took to the medium rather quickly and he’s been unable to put down the thread ever since. His portfolio is chalk full of architectural renderings, geometric forms, typography and other illustrations all painstakingly sewn into pierced watercolor paper using cotton thread.

This is a mixed media piece by Mark Bulford over at Factory Magazine that seems to have stopped publication back in September after some 40 kick-ass projects. A pity.

I’m not a fan of ginger beer, but you’d have difficulty preventing me from purchasing a case of Mille Plateaux for the packaging alone. Design and illustration by Monique Kneepkens. (via dieline)
Some incredibly bizarre and intensely beautiful illustrations and photographic manipulations by Russian artist Anton Marrast. I really can’t get enough of this. (via hardfeelings)
