Awesome Dad Turns Daughter’s Eyepatch Into Art With Amazing Drawings
A little girl named Layla was born with a cataract in her eye.
Though small, the cataract slightly clouds Layla’s vision. In order to correct it as she grows, she needs to wear an eyepatch for two hours every day. If she continues to wear her patch, she’ll likely avoid getting a “lazy eye” when she’s older. But a plain eyepatch is kind of boring.

YouTube Drawings
In an attempt to disrupt the haphazard collection of archieved videos that youtube has become, the artist duo Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic transformed the visual (virtual) language of “broadcasting” back into physicality by producing illustrations on a heavy handmade paper from virtual references with elemental art materials to do what they do best, that is, add to the confusion.
In each drawing, the artists have rendered a freeze-frame, complete with video title, user ratings and number of views. The resulting collection is both distressing and humorous in its ability to highlight our often vulgar predilections. Continue reading »
