Illustration
Wildlife by Mission Design
Actually it is not the newest Design stuff (2008), but it is timeless. Design, which i really appreciate, on the strength of the handling with the black white contrast and the composition of white space and figures. And of course it is always a challenge to combine photoghraphs with illustrations. It feels kind of real, but as a result of the overfilling illustration, the graphic gets a mystic and surrealistic touch, like an extract of a fairy-tale.
Mission Design:
“When working on client projects we occasionaly come up with concepts and ideas that not always fit the client brief, but still has great potential. “Wildlife” is one such idea.
We chose to invest quite some time on this project, together with the photographer Pål Laukli. It turned out to be a project we are very proud of.”

Miss Bugs- Fresh Stuff “Cut Out And Fade Out”
The Street Art Artist Miss Bugs embellished the street of London with her new work. These life sized female figures are melting with the background of the streets. She is questioning the visibility of woman of the modern society.
Miss Bugs is famous for her pop imagery minted and inspired by Action Heros, Comic firgures and models. Her intension to use these Symbols of Society:” They are such strong iconic figures, each with a set of values good and bad, they send an immediate message making them powerful images to play with.” But she is not using matarials from familiar mainstream figures known by the publicity. What seems to have gotten street art fans in a froth is that Miss Bugs is not using old campy print advertisements or bits of classic paintings as reference; rather, it is that the work is using very recent and pretty well-known pieces of Street Art in the Street Art.
And here some old stuff dony by Miss Bugs
The Art of Alex Varanese – The Imprint
He has a fabulous intergrated Design Style. Everything he designs melts in the same Design look, but it is never boring, rather more facinating, that he creates a world perfectly fitting. He understands himself as an artist more than a Designer. He doesn’t want that Design objects only have an aesthetic and beautiful appearance. The matter, the idea, the context and an all- embracing topic is the creator of his work.
“Our formative years are spent in a sponge-like state, our minds pummeled by an onslaught of stimuli that carves and etches a landscape in our grey matter like a planet being formed in a shower of asteroids, until adolescence arrives, our muscles tense, and we make our first attempt at standing up in the face the fusillade.”
But see for yourself and decide. His he either an Designer or an Artist. The Art of Alex Varanese
Deniz Kader & Candas Sisman – Surface Trailer
Step in.In this world of blured sharpness. Always traveling between the borders of abstract forms and attuned objects. The sound is sensitive reflecting the surface of the pictures. Get lost and try to find your figure in it.

Sanna Annukka – Illustrator
She is half finnish and half english. She grew up in the landscapes of Paltaniemi, a village in Finland, swimming and fishing in Oulujarvi and exploring the forests. I can recognize that her childhood must be really intense filled with nature outdoor activities..The colours are showing us how much fun it has been grewing up with a lake and forest so close. Why i choosed her to get a place in the blog, is because of her great feeling of form and composition. The individual forms are floating in between the the main form. Nothing is bothering the the shapes and figures.

MUSA: Portuguese Design Collective
I’d like to indroduce you to MusaCollective. I found these guys in the IdN 15th Anniversary Edition, where you can find 250 highly talented creators who have collaborated-sharing their thoughts on the past; and their visions of the future.
And I thought maybe one of our authors, Lukas, is interested in their work. He is currently visiting his homeland Portugal, staying in Lisbon. Maybe he knows these Designers.
MusaCollective was formed in 2003 by Raquel Viana, Paulo Lima and Ricardo Alexandre, a Lisbon-based collective of graphic designers. Musa works with as many aspects of design as possible, from artistic/experimental to commercial. The first headline-making event that the collective was involved in was the “MusaTour” in 2004, in support of the MusaBook project, the first Portuguese emergent graphic-design book ever compiled, published by IdN.

Alex Trochut
So, get lifted by this guy from Spain, currently living in Barcelona. Alex Trochut is an independent designer and illustrator, who has design in his genes. I reckon he never draw childish pictures, when he was kid. His trees were almost a perfect copy of nature and when he wrote Mama the first time, he invented a new typography. Ok, jokes beside. I was mesmerized by his work and, in turn, I was engaged, surprised and touched by its variety and intensity. His Typography work is vivid and playful with intelligent patterns and merges with his illustration style. The phrase less is more becomes rightly useless in his interpretation of structures and compositions. Even though the work is so vivid, he found the pure form contained within itself.

The work of Ryohei Hase
Ryohei Hase is a freelance illustrator and artist based in Tokyo. I am truly impressed with his Illustrations. In my opinion the “Repetition” series carries some of the distress of todays society. Fantastic work! There are some rabbits in his illustrations and “Hase” in german means “rabbit”. Not sure if there is any association.. an interesting detail though.
Here´s what he writes about his work:

The Forming Game by Malcolm Sutherland
I like this playful animated short film from Malcom Sutherland. There’s such a beautiful interplay between the soundtrack & the animation, which is one my favorite aspects. I enjoy to see how the abstract shapes can form characters, typography, animals and storys in just a couple of seconds. Sometimes it looks like liquid, just because of the fluently movement of the forms. You can find the animation group on Vimeo.

Nomad “Rainbow Coloured Tears of a Clown”
 |
 |
Nomad is opening his newest solo show, ‘Rainbow Coloured Tears of a Clown‘, at the CircleCulture Gallery. The gallery had a lot of nice things to say to us about the art, the artist, and this exhibition, but I think his flyer sums it up perfectly.
He is showing us that he his talented in a lot of various art styles. He became famous with his streetart. Especially as Mr. Friendly and his messages on rubbish bins. But in his exhibition he tells us about the history of art, in his personal way of expression.But of course street art elements are not missing.
The Opening reception was on october 30, 2009. The show is up through Jan. 9th.

RekaOne
I want to intodruce you to a very famous Artist from Melbourne. RekaOne. He is belonging to the street art scene. Of course he is not only a illustration genius by painting a wall. His illustration gave us a insight in a surrealistic and curious world of unique characters. Tomorrow I will visit a Club in Fitzroy, Melbourne, he created the wallpaintings. So I will see how his work looks in real.
