French photographer Hedi Slimane’s pictures have a beautifully dark quality about them that really draw you in.
This is the second in a series of handmade character sketchbooks called Junkies by artist Przemek Blejzyk. The characters are painted on wooden sheets which are subsequently cut in half to allow for the intermixing of character tops and bottoms. The artwork is awesome, but the fact that you can mix characters together makes this book so much more fun to look through.
At first glance the illustration above might appear hand drawn, but in reality it was hand cut out of paper. The talented designer, JT Yean, cites the story of Jonah and the Whale as inspiration for this beautifully created paper art piece. As part of his creative process JT Yean humorously reveals on his Tumblr site, “I asked myself, how would it feel to be in someone’s stomach?”.
These images are stills taken from designer Tom Darracott’s latest short film “Kiss Kiss”. When conceiving the film the designer was drawn to the “Pop Art idea of elevating mundane, everyday objects into totems of high luxury and decadence”. There is definitely something hypnotic about the shine and polish of the rendered objects included in the film.
Given the high degree of detail involved and the placement, getting this tattoo must not have been a pleasant experience, but the result is absolutely beautiful! This is the work of talented tattoo artist David Hale, who works out of Athens, GA. His distinctive illustrative linework style is amazing looking, and makes me want to head down south for a visit!
Really like the imagery embedded in this illustrated print by Garry Milne. I am also drawn to the story behind the graphic which ”is about a huntsman who has to work long hours far away in order to provide for his family back home. Although there’s distance between them it’s the love for them that keeps him going.” The image contains the phrase “Each day apart, my strength your heart”.
The beautiful painting above, ‘Warrior’ by English artist Dave White, is part of his new collection of work entitled ‘Americana’. The entire collection of contemporary Pop Art will debut this coming Monday April 11th at the The Conningsby Gallery in London. Two limited edition prints of works from the collection are also being released for sale. More information is available via Dave White’s website, http://www.davewhiteart.com/.
