Denims for most of us defines comfort-in-clothing. But today our featuring artist is a denims-loyalist but for totally different reasons.

It's a "great democratic fabric worn by everyone from the farmer to the aristocrat, the manual worker to the oligarch".

At E-junkie we not only bring for you things that are different but artworks with a cause. In one of our earlier posts in July , 2012 we had featured another denim artist - Kumi Yamashita. Here's another!

On viewing his magnificient works, we were left astounded by the fact that how could he manage to gather so many denims for detailing his artwork. That's when we found out that his art has another tangent.

Its not sheer drawing or dabbling with a given media that Ian indulges in. He is a crafty artist, well trust us, literally!!

His artistic sojourn is an interesting tale. Ian was working as an art director in London and Syndey, campaigning for brands like Nissan, Talisker Whiskey etc. Once during a clear-out sale, back in his hometown Huddesrfield he "found himself staring at a pile of unwanted jeans destined for the charity shop". Struck by some old memories, it was an epiphany of sorts that he decided to dabble with this fabric as an artist.

As his works- mostly detailed portraits and urban landscapes, got acclaim internationally, he changed his stage name to "DENIMU". Now that's what we call a real passion for arts, although we wouldn't recommend other budding artists to set such a trend!

So Denimu has nearly 2 sell-out shows in Sweden (he is currently there) besides many countries in Europe, Americas, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. The most touching aspect of his artwork is that he uses discarded, throw-away material that he "cuts, sticthes and glues using only the varying shades of the fabric to provide contrast and shadow".

Recognizing his flair for the fabric, the eponymous James Dean Museum approached Ian to do a mural for them, to commemorate the cult actor's work. His Roy-Schatt inspired artwork, in fact, is the first denim "street art" project in the world.

Having built up so much hype around him and his artwork, we 'll leave you to enjoy his handiworks in solitude now. Happy viewing folks!
