Sydney-based concept artist and illustrator Charles Santoso decided to start a project called Random Word Doodles to strengthen his brain muscles. What you can do is to give him a word via his Twitter feed, he picks one and does one of his adorable illustrations. Each one takes around 30 minutes to an hour and a half, done digitally via Photoshop. Which is your favourite? I'm voting for . . .
Paper Fun
Illustrations with paper and collage have always impressed me - the effort taken to cut each of those layers of paper to create and illusion of depth and shadows. Estonian illustrator and graphics designer, Eiko Ojala, does just this with his work... He studies the forms of shapes and works closely with light and shadow, keeping his illustrations minimal and well-advised. According to his . . .
Juice Up
It's such a refreshing change to go into a place and see that every single corner has been branded properly. #designsnob you might say (accentuated by the cool hashtagging and all), but that's what working in an agency for years does to you. Roots & Bulbs does it exactly that - London's first cold pressed juice bar - with the help of branding agency Robot Food. Juicing is the industry to be . . .
Ruthless Endings
“It’s not you, it’s me.” How many times have you heard that? Not too many, one would hope… Portugal-based graphic designer Wasted Rita created a collection of breakup letters. Despite the seemingly cruel messages, the humour and quirky typography is something to be admired. She is self-described as "a natural born agent provocateur, sarcastic as needed and a full-time thinker who must write about . . .
Fruity Bears
The creative team at Haribo must be falling over themselves right now - they just got outshone by a pair of students at the advertising school, HAW Hamburg. As part of a class, students were asked to create a print campaign for the new delicious Haribo gummy bears with 25% more fruit juice. Aspiring Graphic Designers Valentin René Tillian and Michael Wilde came up with this simple and quite . . .
Fish&Chips
I'm sure we all could do with some deep-fried goodness on a Monday afternoon... A sudden pang of homesickness. Take me back to sunsets & blue skies! via Buzzfeed (with recipe by Daniel Humm) . . .
Animal Faces
Photographer Lukas Holas throws away the colour to create these amazing black & white portraits of his favourite creatures. These photos capture all the details and shine every expression, texture and feather in a clearer light, creating a kind of magic to each shot. via Indulgd . . .
Flower Petal Explosions
Was just talking about how advertising has reached yet another level after seeing a group of people mix & drink Robinsons juices in zero gravity with the help of Framestore, the Oscar winning VFX team behind Gravity - check it out. Then I saw this... 8 million vibrantly-coloured flower petals erupted through a small village in Costa Rica just the other day. Need further evidence? No, it's . . .
Penny Drawings
How would you like to put the Wild West in your pocket? San Diego-based artist Sam Larson makes that possible with his tiny illustrations that depict scenes inspired by the American West, no bigger than a penny. Larson’s illustrations feature cowboys, mountain ranges, forest scenes, wildlife, and more - posted on his Instagram feed every night. How does one even draw that in that . . .
Strange Fruits
Call me crazy, but sometimes when you walk past things - do you see little faces? Whether it's a bend in the handrail, the foam of your coffee, or pucker in a lemon. Sometimes it's nice to look down on a Monday morning and find something smiling at you. Sarah Illenberger creates her own experiences and makes her food into rainbows, diamonds and disco balls. The Berlin-based art director and . . .
