Came across Sarah Illenberger’s work on Behance a while back. One of her paper sculptures caught my eye and I have been a fan ever since. Can’t wait for her new book to be released in the States. Check out her great interview on gestalten.tv as well as her portfolio.

Two of my favorite artists Olek and Swoon are featured in the street art episode of Off Book. Love those girls.

A book by Marian Bantjes:

Just pre-ordered “I wonder” a book by one of my favorite illustrators Marian Bantjes. Can’t wait to get my hands on it, too bad I have to wait until September though. Take a sneak peak here.

I really like how the contrast between black and white (hard and soft) elements is playing out on this particular piece. I’ve also been trying to introduce a more interesting composition that makes the eye wonder a bit before it leaves the canvas. More pieces to come soon.

This video comes in as a breath of fresh air from legendary Saul Bass and his take on design. It has struck a cord with me, especially during the time when I’m trying to re-evaluate where my career is heading. Glad to hear that I’m not alone in this.

I took a little break from paper art and have started drawing patterns. I found the inspiration from a couple of beautiful wrapping papers I picked up at Kate’s Paperie.

The latest collage, this time on the theme “fishing for a dream”. I experimented with paper cutouts, acrylics, a little bit of decoupage (my latest obsession). I finally figured out how to shoot properly under a fluorescent light, so the colors are much warmer now.

This is my second 3D collage titled The Red Door. It’s a progression from the Paper World collage that I made recently for Poolga. I’ve used a lot of bright colors, as well as sculpey to make some elements stand out, and give them more dimension. I am pleased with how they are turning out, and I’m contemplating doing a series on them.

This is the very first skate deck design that I have done. Having purchased a blank deck from the web, I was eager to customize it. First task was to paint it a smooth black, and put a few splashes of color. To stay true to the ongoing nature theme, I used a lot of photos of mushrooms, flowers, butterflies and ladybugs (most from flickr), with some hand drawn elements. Overall, I like how it has turned out and I will be working on the second one fairly soon. I have to admit, I’m not much of a skater myself, but hopefully some skater chicks would find this deck to their liking.
