Boy meets Girl self-promo animation by extra talented Ben Mounsey who is an illustrator based in London. The simplicity of the characters, storyboard and script.. gave me a big large smile. So elegantly drawn, he has mastered his style.
So typical a story. When you least expect it – it happens.
Wishing you all? LOVE!

Welcome to the incredible meta-universe of Mars-1. Psychedelia meets hyper realism meets imagination on warp meets confounding and unearthly beauty.
The kaleidoscopic details and the richness of colors makes his work totally enjoyable. It invites the viewer to venture into awaken-dreams of exploration of the unknown. Great way to defeat any creative blocks and cynicism.
Bon voyage!

One Day of Design by Emil Kozak
Design is everywhere! When we wake up to when we go to sleep. 24 hours a day we are simply surrounded by graphics and illustrations.
Not only do these graphics apply beauty, life and personality to our objects, but they also create a relationship with us, when they become part of the "visual soundtrack" to our lives.

Ricardo Gimenes has found a very smart way to show his illustration skills (amongst others) – distribute his art for free as desktops (for iPhone too) and sells .eps for a nominal fee – all this in one swell woosh. Every other day he publishes a featurette about a website as an illustration. The portfolio section is a little rectangle with tabs that takes about 15% of interface.
So what do you think? Works or not?

Carlos Camp at an early age found his vocation for drawing and design. Declared admirer of Herb Lubalin, Shepard Fairey and Denis Zilber, his inspiration is everything that surrounds him. Be it music, an object, a simple movement. He likes to capture the essence of what we are seeing and bring it into his work.
