“Wrinkles show the journey of a man.”
Some great portraits here from Ed Fairburn. The maps used help to carve characteristics into each portrait using harsh lines and contours. There is a sharp contrast between the mechanical cage of the roads and organic feel of the portrait. Some seem stationary whereas others look as if they are about to move off the page. An interesting combination of graphic art. Who’d have thought you could have landscape and portrait?
These food landscapes, or foodscapes, are some of the best we’ve seen. The shear variety and ingenuity that Carl Warner has portrayed seems effortless. Coupled with the use of lighting and effects he brings these scenes to life. They are more like gateways into another world than photographs. What’s more, a book is being published with these in and it looks like it’ll be well worth the purchase! Mmm…
Some amazing 3d work from Behance.net. A chap called Julian Nuñez has created some stunning compositions with extra care and attention to detail. His work also includes some well placed typography and beautifully crafted characters. Here’s a favourite…
If you like it colourful and fun then this is the thing for you. Poked Studio create some amazing illustrations, licked with plenty of rainbows, lollies and cuddly creatures. Their skills span through all graphic practices and their website is a pleasure to explore. Go take a look if you like these few as there’s plenty more where they came from!
Jen Stark‘s work is gloriously beautiful. The explosion of colour and intricacy in the patterns hypnotize your eyes into a peaceful serenity. Such exposure to rich colours mimics that found in nature, but these man-made versions are perfectly crafted and look like they’re from another planet. Great stuff to check out.
Some amazing illustration work from Gabriel Moreno. Some brilliantly bright design work that really stands out!
Super silo has a unique method when it comes to creating vector art. Photoshop and Illustrator are the only tools he uses to produce these 3D posters, including a quick sketch for reference, but the way in which he does it is very clever. Just watch one of his videos to see how these masterpieces are produced and constructed from the ground up.
This guy Davide De Cubellis is a great illustrator. Featured work is on the Behance network which is another great site which features some stunning work from a variety of backgrounds and practices. Check out both Davide and others for some inspiration! It’s well worth the time.
Francoise Nielly’s website is instantly striking due to the contrasts of colour. The bright neon paint is blocked in by what seems to be the thickest black on the internet. What’s more striking though is her actual work. Unique in style, she mostly uses a palette knife instead of a brush. She scrapes a variety of portraits out and the results are wonderful.
Saatchi online has some great work that you can purchase for a small amount of money – depending on the size. The work on here is of a very high standard and contributors come from a variety of backgrounds with a myriad of styles from all over the world. This piece from Mark Fitz managed to catch our eye particularly.
