Sleep Is Famous
It all begins with an idea.
Sleep is Famous is the resident visual artist of Ishgirl Creative, working at the intersection of street art and fine art. His large-scale canvas paintings, layered screen prints, and immersive projection work bring depth and complexity to every space we create. Drawing inspiration from city streets, overheard phrases, and forgotten objects, his art explores contradiction, memory, and perception.
From wheatpasted windows to tissue-paper transfers and handbuilt collage elements, his pieces evolve like urban walls — layered, weathered, and alive with hidden meaning. Whether creating gallery-ready work or transforming a venue into an emotional landscape, Sleep is Famous challenges viewers to see differently and think deeper.
"I want people to feel a productive disorientation — that moment when familiar things suddenly seem strange, and you have to reconsider what you thought you knew." — Sleep is Famous
His signature Sleep TV character and ongoing face series ground his practice in themes of attention, distraction, and cultural commentary — all delivered with raw immediacy and conceptual depth.
Role: Fine Art Artist and Installation Designer
Fashion Designer: Libby Tolm
It all begins with an idea.
Libby Tolm is the founder and designer behind Looking Friday, a fashion label that explores knitwear as wearable sculpture. Each garment is created with care, precision, and intention—designed to evolve with the wearer and last a lifetime.
Her work brings together traditional hand-knitting techniques and architectural design principles to create garments that are both sculptural and soft. Every piece begins with yarn, not a sketch, and is built slowly—loop by loop—inviting presence and patience into the design process.
In her collection featured in Ishgirl Creative’s Chapter 1 showcase, Libby introduced a bold interpretation of knitwear: voluminous silhouettes, asymmetrical wraps, and textured forms that balance comfort with power. Her pieces hold space, move with the body, and offer a quiet confidence to those who wear them.
Rooted in craftsmanship and guided by intuition, Libby’s designs reject fast fashion in favor of depth, quality, and longevity. Her garments are not just worn—they’re lived in.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
