Fell across these guys yesterday. They have quite an impressive style and approach. They also have an impressive lineup of clients including Crookers, Soulwax, Smirnoff, The Subs and Club Culture (who I also just finished some work for as well)

Some of their best work includes:

Enjoy your weekend laFraisians!

and for MAD, Tobe F with Oz

You might have noticed a new “friend” on the blogroll links.

I found this site the other day and it’s fairly fresh on the books. It’s called ImageSpark and it’s similar to ffffound except for the fact that anyone can join, which is a definite plus; no waiting around for a fucking invite.

I’ll try and bring more attention to the site over the next few weeks, and maybe even bring you highlights every Monday from ImageSpark instead of ffffound, who knows?

Make sure to setup an account while you still can.

In the meantime here is a small taste of what the site has to offer so far:

Now this whole concept has been around for a few years now, but I thought this a good concept to bring up just in case some hadn’t seen it yet.

OLE Coordinate System is trompe-l’oeil interactive software that enables characters to wander along blocks and staircases in impossible ways. While M.C. Escher is famous for his “trick of the eye” works, this piece enables users to create and experience their own Escher-esque worlds. More info. here

Here are a few examples

Now you can download the program (PC Only) here or you can use the web version here

Probably best saved for a Friday afternoon, I’m curious to see what you guys come up with, take some screenshots.

Just a small reminder guys, the Thunder Chunky contest starts today and will run until Feb 9th. Also keep in mind for the contest, we have some new sexy templates available :)

Good luck!

Well it’s time for another fresh new contest, this time it’s with the
wonderful culture/art/news website “Thunder Chunky“.
Here is some more info. on Thunder Chunky before I continue:

Thunder Chunky has been around since 2003 and is a bit of a hybrid-mix of
interviews, articles and collaborative projects. Based in Liverpool UK,
but globally-focussed, our simple aim is to keep all you people out there
amused and interested for as long as we can before you find something
genuinely important to do with your day.

Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to speak to some of our heroes in
the design & illustration field such as TADO, Jeremyville, Jon Burgerman,
James Jean, Kyle Cooper, TBFH… and many more besides that! And being
able to bring some of those artists in to some of the projects we run,
such as the set of prints we did recently, is particularly great.

We try our best to give all those up-and-coming artists out there a
platform to showcase and strut their stuff and it’s always exciting when
something totally fresh and new lands on our doormat or in our inbox.

You really can never have enough illustration!
