This new spot for House of Travel, a travel agency from New Zealand captures the exact feeling we have, when we are traveling and are content with ourselves. It features beautiful and quite melancholic shots from Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand.
I just love looking at these images by Seattle-based photographer Brittany Wright. This food photographer knows how to capture food properly: usually in rows, sorted by size and color, often arranging her food to look like a rainbow. Multi-color carrots and peppers!
My latest obsessions are Uppercase and Flow. In the beginning of the year I decided to make a gift to myself and finally subscribe to these two magazines.
Uppercase is an independent quarterly magazine from Canada, founded by publisher, editor and designer Janine Vangool. Designed with great attention to detail, it covers almost all creative fields. Every issue has a different theme on either design, crafts, illustration or printing and has very little advertising since it is supported by subscriptions around the world. So much fresh talent and creativity to discover! Check out the current issue here. You can also find real gems in the past issues.
Flow on the other hand, comes from a big publishing group in the Netherlands (there is an English edition too) but hasn’t lost the personal touch and has a unique independent feel. It is, as the two founders say: “A magazine of unhurried time” “… all about positive psychology, mindfulness, creativity and the beauty of imperfection.”. Flow has a special love for paper: they always have a gift made of paper, they print on different types of paper and they even have a special edition for paper lovers, which is so good I don’t let my kids go near it. All issues have beautiful illustrations and great choice of vintage photography. Check out the current issue here.
Is it a frog, or is it 5 humans painted to look like a frog? Look closely in these animal photographs, and you may notice that they are not actually animals, but humans in incredible body-paint. Inspired by nature, musician and body-painting artist Johannes Stoetter creates amazingly detailed paintings of animals on the bodies of living models. Each of these take up to 8 hours of work to complete, but also need up to 5 months of planning. Unbelievable.
I am sure I had seen Serge Bloch‘s whimsical illustrations around, before I knew his name and that he is French. His huge amount of work includes a lot of editorial and book illustrations, but has also done excellent work for advertising campaigns and ads. I love his sense of humor in using everyday objects in a new creative way.
“Vivian the Dog Moves to Brooklyn” is a Kickstarter campaign for a hilarious children’s book about a big dog moving to the “big city,” made to help kids (and adults) deal with giant-sized changes. (via)
Magnus, an app that is like ‘Shazam’, but for art: You take a photo of an artwork and instantly know the artist and the title. Sounds cool, but is only working in very few places yet. (via)
Conceptual marketing at its best. This is a humorous ad for Verizon’ new campaign “A Better Network” by advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy with the help of digital artist Albert Omoss. Omoss uses code to create software, and software to create visual art, that is, 4D surreal and psychedelic images and films, either for client projects or self-initiated experiments.
Another notable project by the same artist is the award-winning typographic title sequence for FITC Tokyo 2015.
One of my favorite websites is Daily Overview, a project that brings you new breathtaking satellite images of earth every day. They now announced the release of a book called Overview, with a collection of the best images (overviews), as well as new ones.
