Synchronicity?

The purity of Michael
Wandelmaier lines are not flat but have a subdued perspective likening his work to those of Japanese master illustrations we have grown familiar with.

His palette is vivid and saturated, always warm and rich in contrast. His grids filled with exquisitely dramatic details. Conceptually? Pretty out there.

The blog features collected album covers that were scanned and archived by the owner of Jive Time Records, a Seattle based store specializing in used vinyl. The collection is fantabulous.

Mapping it out! Fascinating skill the one that some, such Aaron Beshon has, to take dizzying complex information and turn it into understandable diagrams and visuals. His are humoristic, quirky and well designed.
