/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Creative workflow

Frank Chimero is an illustrator, graphic designer and writer. Particularly like the The Real World Lecture and The proposed creative workflow posters.

Random Walk Data Viz

What does randomness look like? Have a look at the beautiful Random Walk data visualization simulation project by Daniel A. Becker. Just LUV the color palette and the shapes.

BTW if you can help, he’s looking for a Publisher.

Marumiyan

Marumiyan got interested in drawing in his infancy under his father influence and went on to study graphic design at the universty. Now living in Fukuoka, Japan, he freelances and his editorial, cd jackets and illustrations are a razzle-dazzle assortment that all speak one and only one message: explosive creativity!

The sheer amount of details and the quality of the montages are worth clicking through from one project to the other. Wow!

Lola Land of Fantasy

Lola is one of those exceptional artist who are very hard to categorize. The (almost) featureless characters have something both dark and innocent and are always staged in fantasy landscapes accompanied by strange animals.

Her work is mysterious yet emotional and as much part of her art, are the frames she chooses to add another layer of drama to the piece iitself, conveying even more, familiar with improbable.

Pretty nifty flash fx

Sublime Woods illustration by Mika Mäkinen based in Helsinki who embedded selection of works in a pretty nifty flash functionalities website.

Nacionale update

Doug Alves aka Nacionale keeps soaring higher and higher. His restocked portfolio shows an exquisite array of projects brimming refined details with just the right dose of edge.

Aspiring yearlings

GDI09 is the online showcase of 2009 graduates of BA(Hons) Graphic Design & BA(Hons) Illustration at the University of Brighton. Some of this year’s aspiring yearlings are definitely making some noise for themselves and will pop-up in the industry arena to claim their spot.
