Cyberoptix update

Got a note the other day — okay, the other month, it’s been busy — from Detroit-based artist/musician/DIY creator Bethany Shorb at early Murketing Q&A subject Cyberoptix. I’d asked for updates, and she said: “We’re growing like mad and things are good.”

Aside from lots of new designs in the Tie Lab — including a collaboration with Detroit’s Ghostly International, below — Cyberoptix now offers a range of … ascots! “100% charmeuse silk, hand dyed and hand screened ascots/scarves. All edges are hand-finished with silk thread.” Available through the Tie Lab and, I gather, a Los Angeles store called All Purpose. The Raven design, above, looks quite nice on the tie-as-medium as well.

In other news, while she was too modest to mention it, her music project Dethlab played at the Guggenheim! And it sounds like more attention, from mightier forces than Murketing, is on the way. I’m glad to hear it.
