9 pints deep thunderbird illustrations in Newcastle
Cant really remember which night i took these or which bar it was, but I do know it was on a night out on the Tooon! Anyway I remember looking down at the bar table pretty drunk and thinking Wow! Thunderbirds illustrations cool…. So here they are
Man Citys Big 4 Home Games Posters
Music in Manchester created three posters to promote Manchester City Football Club’s “big four” Premiership home fixtures of the football season. Accompanied by an illustration of Tevez from Shephard Fairey’s studio, Studio Number One Music apparently commissioned the 4 illustrators to do the posters to raise the support and awareness of Man Citys final big 4 home games. I think the posters themselves look awesome and instill a bit of civic pride for the fans. You can see the different styles of each illustrator coming out in each poster.
Drawing; Jen Starks Felt tip drawings
Anyone feel high just looking at these? They are produced by Jen Starks and whats so cool about them is that there done using felt tip pens!!!! They look digitally illustrated but whats better than using a felt tip pen. I’m glad to see some one is keeping the old traditional ways strong!! The drawings are original and amazing the way they incorporate space and colour and seem to endlessly flow into one another, you can pick out so much detail and little things from them. I love the creativeness... Read The Rest →
Book; 100 Monsters
100 Monsters is the work of 344 artist. They have been his obsession for the past year, they began as an exercise of drawing something everyday and evolving everyday items as inspiration. “What better to blow a few drops of ink into a shape and make that shape a monster” Quoted from the artist himself. For one hundred days he filmed himself drawing a different monster everyday and posted it on the blog dailymonster.com, the site gathered people from all over the world who began to comment on the monsters...

Design; Paper cut outs
Granted from the title it doesn’t sound to exciting but just look at the final creation. The work is by an artist called Jen Stark who is a big drawing inspiration of mine. She produces these fascinating sculptures by layering hundreds of pieces of card together and then precisely cutting out individual sections and crafting them. Talk about creativity from paper to this, in my opinion its awsome. I guess you could call it modern day art or sculpture but the time and patients it must take to produce these... Read The Rest →
Illustration; Jason Brooks
Jason Brooks otherwise known as HedKandi, produces these fantastic illustrations. I find them to be powerful, energetic and motivating. The girls obviously look amazing and for a lad they kinda represent what your perfect girl would look like, they also create the buzz which I imagine is why HedKandi choose them for there advertisiments. They are unique and have great branding power instantly recognizable to the HedKandi Name for there target audience.
Book; Flanimals
I think the creativity behind Flanimals is awsome!! The way each Flanimal has its own personality, some are complex and some are just so simple and the way they are all linked like a true animal kingdom gives it that almost non fictional sense. Ricky Jervais has always been a favorite of mine and the book really expels his sense of humor, the book isn’t only designed for children, there is a lot of thinking behind the animals and the story’s and descriptions of them are quite intellectual. From that... Read The Rest →
