Embroidery Artist Justin Morin

Paris by Appointment Only is a new blog that features artisans and innovators in Paris, such as embroidery artist Justin Morin and his modern-style portraits.
From the site:

Since moving to Paris in 2003, Morin has pioneered a new portrait style that’s best described as experimental realism with a tactile twist. Combining digital photography with state-of-the-art textile design, Morin uses needles, thread and a kaleidoscopic range of color to freeze faces in time. A crafty confluence of fast and slow techniques give his canvases a super sleek, handmade feel, one that begins with a photography session in Morin’s apartment and ends in an atelier in Belgium with a 12-needle industrial sewing machine.
