If you are not yet familiar with the work of Bethany Shorb or her super fancy Cyberoptix tie lab, I highly suggest you inquire.
For years, this Detroit-based designer has created an extensive line of unique, elegant silk screened ties. Her playfully dark designs draw inspiration from a large variety of influences such as industrial waste, Victorian wood cuts, human anatomy, and old school computer graphics (read: lace-like brain neurons and 8-bit blood trails.)
While Cyberoptix has has been up in running for years (check her site for closest store locations) her newest mini collection has particularly sparked my interest...
Introducing: bow ties!
CUTE, no?
I'm loving "Topographical error" in ivory and "exhaust" in charcoal.
All ties and other wares can be found here:

I could elaborate for pages on about her other projects in fashion, photography, and music, but I will let you discover for yourself.
You can read about such endeavors here:

Last but not least, I certainly couldn't mention Ms. Shorb and her work without giving a shout-out to her Detroit based DJ group: DETHLAB!
We were lucky enough to host them at Front312 sometime last year, and their performance was nothing short of ultra-fun.

Stay tuned for future posts featuring both Bethany and the Dethlab crew.
