Here's an oddly sinister new series from illustrator Eiko Ojala

There’s a touch of mystery about Eiko Ojala’s most recent body of work, Everyday, a series which plays on the sinister ambiguities that can be concealed beneath a sheet of fabric. Shifting away from his well established paper-cutting-esque techniques to embrace a more fluid line, subtle changes in gradient and sharp edges are all that’s needed to bring a suggestive strangeness to his usually chipper illustrations. Softly undulating fabrics disappear into black holes, and kitchen knives carve threateningly into dining room tables. It’s a strange new world for Eiko, and we’re feeling it.
