Geometrical and really often based on circles illustrations and designs by Michael Paukner. Although it looks really clean and simple Michael’s work is none the less pleasing especially in terms of background textures. Keeping things simple but attractive is something that is always harder than it may seem and Michael Paukner really is a pro in my view for that. Simple. Efficient.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about long exposure photography mainly because the things I’ve seen were average and already seen million times. Maybe not quite literally million times but you know where I’m coming from here… Anyway, I’ve recently found the portfolio of Steve Bella from Milano in Italy. I thought it was really worth showcasing his photographs because they are very refreshing compared to the usual, average long exposure photography you can now find almost everywhere and anywhere on the web, TV adverts, posters…
Graphic design and illustrations by German designer Kai Esselhorst. Kai’s portfolio is full of intricate, nicely laid out and well balanced designs and illustrations. His photography section is however a bit of a let down compared to his design skills and the rest of his work.
Very geometrical graphic design pieces by Empk which consists of Barbara Allain and Diego Bellorin. Their atelier is based in Sau Paulo and they are respectively photographer (Barbara Allain) and graphic designer (Diego Bellorin). They’ve been working for Computer Arts, Nike, Schweppes, Zoo York and many more companies I one day dream to work for!
Amazingly detailed illustrations and digital art pieces by Washington DC based freelance illustrator Zach Bush. Zach is also talented in photography and impressive in photo and image retouching as you can see on this Image Manipulation section on his DeviantArt page.
Excellent and unusual theme for a modern painter! The bird subject might appear as “old fashion” but the way Frank Gonzales creates his paintings has a really edgy and contemporary style to it! Love it! Apparently I’m not the only one as Frank’s artwork and talent seems to be recognised all over America and Europe…
Very colourful illustrations and mixed media artworks by Indian visual artist Archan Nair. Archan’s been working for big names like Canon, Tiger Beer, Microsoft, GQ, Hugo Boss… This selection is not quite as representative as expected colourwise but if you visit Archan’s website your eyes will be filled with vivid and bright colours that he uses with talent.
Magnificient short film by Director Ben Briand working with Moonwalk films. Moonwalk is behind the Nokia trailer for one of the best TV series I’ve seen recently: misfits.
Really really cold and dark photographs by Silent Order from Halle in Germany… Although Silent Order’s universe is dark and gloomy there is always an element of bright color in his photography captivating the attention and making all photographs so attractive. There must be a lot of post prod and image retouching but the presented pieces keep their entire integrity. Not very surprisingly, if you dig up a bit of info about Silent Order (or is it Silent View??), you’ll find he’s quite into this dark universe loving films like Sleepy Hollow, Saw, Se7en and video games like Silent Hill…
Colourful and quite geometrical designs by Netherlands graphic designer Rik Oostenbroek aka NKeo.
