We love this selection of the latest illustrated comparisons from 2 Kinds of People – the small differences in daily life, the two kinds of people and their different ways of doing things. Funny ’cause they’re so true 🙂
We love the work of photographer and graphic designer Tomba Lobos who has created an interesting set of portraits, disfiguring his models with a clever mix of flesh coloured play dough and digital retouching. A slightly unsettling yet original and unique series that explores the boundaries of classic photography and basic sculpting and digital versus analogue image manipulation.
Radiohead: We’re loving the animated video for Radiohead‘s new single “Burn the Witch” directed by Chris Hopewell and paying homage to a number of different but distinct films including The Wicker Man and The Prisoner as well as current cultural events such as Burning Man. Check it out – a very clever must watch 🙂
In honour of the 75th anniversary of M&Ms, Nick Bertke (aka Pogo) has created a remix using footage from M&Ms ads over the years. Love it – and now I want some! 🙂
Photographer Adrienne Salinger has documented the bedrooms of American teenagers in the 1990s, asking teens to pose surrounded by their personal possessions revealing the styles and trends that epitomised the era. Looking all too familiar really… 😉
Entitled ‘The Beauty is Inside’, American photographer Marc Lamey features a colourful and real insect coming out of the mouth of each model, combining macro photography and fashion photography, in striking compositions that explore the concept of inner beauty. Fantastic work! 🙂
Created by the designers from Chromosphere, Forms in Nature: Understanding Our Universe is a stunning animated short film paying tribute to the geometric shapes of nature, focusing on the most perfect and pure shape, the circle. An audiovisual meditation on mankind’s scientific achievements and the wonders of the natural world, this film celebrates how science deepens our connection to the universe with study and curiosity. This is amazing work! 🙂
Things Organized Neatly is a mesmerising series of photographs dedicated to the art of arranging and all the artists who enjoy creating perfect arrangements with everyday objects, true sources of visual satisfaction. Created by Austin Radcliffe as a Tumblr project before becoming a book, Things Organized Neatly: The Art of Arranging the Everyday is currently available for purchase from Amazon. These images feed into the hint of OCD within us all – a need to create order and simplicity from an otherwise complicated and messy world.
To pass the time, American illustrator Jasper St Aubyn West has fun drawing strange and unique monsters invading photographs of our daily life – this awesome series of amusing and slightly twisted creations can also be followed on Jasper’s Instagram. Very cool stuff 🙂
We love this selection of analogue photomontages by artist Thomas Barbèy who creates a surreal world without any form of digital editing, manipulation or retouching. Using photographs taken throughout the past 20 years, Thomas Barbèy skillfully combines the negatives of his images before enlarging them in a darkroom. Very impressive work! 🙂
