Ohh how I LOVE these illustrations by Tom Dilly Littleson, they are so EVIL!!!!! The contrast between the super detailed and controlled pencil illustration and the use of the red colour is just SO effectful. AWESOME!

I am loving the work of Bäst, a Brooklyn based artist who does various street art and exhibits. Once again I would love to go to Lazarides gallery in London and see his show. They just ALWAYS show the coolest stuff.

I was browsing through some magazines I got while in Berlin and came across the most extravagant fashion accessory shoot I ever saw in V magazine. This is MINDBLOWING!! I would have loved to hear how this idea came about and how the client was convinced that jumping horses, high heeled boots and bags was the right match, but my GOD it is! WOW!

I really admire the type work and aesthetics by Copenhagen/New York based studio NR2154. They are the guys behind the initial design for LOVE magazine (which has a FAB masthead) and I also really like their work with Rika. I think both are original takes on approaching the identity for a magazine treating the masthead etc. as something more than just stuff to stick on the cover.

Check out amazing Danish artist Anika Lori. I love her meticulous and vibrant installations and paintings. There is a kinda of moderne shrines about the installations and although sometimes quite dark they are very life affirming.

I’ve been a fan of Job Wouters for a long time and getting my hands on his book Letman was SUCH a treat. I HIGHLY recommend it (no, I don’t get a percentage!). The variety of the work is amazing, I really like how different styles are explored without any notable desire to be cool or hip but just to create something new and great. Success! The control of the tools used is so superior to anything I’ve seen for a long time. A bonus info: The book is set with my former student Julian Hansen’s font Zimmer.

A good example that ruin is so beautiful from Aukje Dekker. These burnt out photos are so full of stories and a great way of creating tangibility.

Something a little different today. But I just love when I can find inspiration in fields outside my own. Not sure what to call this dynamic duo, something in between product designers and artists. I came across their ‘meat on the bone’ project and was amazed with the texture and tangibility. But they’ve also done so much other great stuff always playing with what possibilities different materials have.

PHEW! Have been off the radar for a few days because I’ve been busy writing an assignments for my masterstudies. It is strange being a student AND and educator at the same time. I’m afraid I’m not a very good master student at the moment. Too many things to tend to! But nevermind that!

Here’s a great project by textile artist Debbie Smyth. It is an installation “drawn” with thread. As you might have realised already I love these kind of crafted big scale projects. Good job!
