The three images in this series are probably heating up data parks all around the internet right now. Magnificient illustration achievement and astute concept of We put anything on paper are no doubt, rare to come across.
But there is a flipside that needs to be spelled out.
As always, finding great work out of context somewhat drives in a sense of betrayal. What? Like the curious case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hide. Great promotional advertising for Otavio Rios (the author of the illustrations) but what a disappointment to see his other work on his website.
So advice to heed, make sure your portfolio delivers the goods ’cause in this case, well.. they don’t.

Docked yourself cause you’re about to be blown away! A little side note – his website is a bit obscure to navigate – so exercise patience – it will be worth your while. Kiyoshi Kuroda is first and foremost an illustrator who prefers creating monochromatic work — in fact, he once said:
“There are too many colors around. I only need black.”
_______
O yeah? Well he is so intent on this statement, that a couple years back he did a DISCOLOR exhibition. But he does use colors, but very sparingly. His elegant designs have been stamped on different surfaces ranging from apparel to tea cup, wallpape to ceiling.
_______
As you can see in the examples – integration of his artworks with subjects is — believable. That’s not a quality to underestimate. You look at these and wish you could enter this strange world made of transparent or not organic flowers, forms and vegetation.

Faces! Our face is the great definer of who we are. People recognize us, saluting how different we are from any other, apart from having an identical twin and then, even so, there are notable differences.
Pak Fung Wong has made it his business to photograph faces and as you will see in the people in studio collection, the portraits are capturing just that.
