DIAMOND DUST









Wow! Artist Judith Braun is the creator of this wonderful mural. She refers to her method as "fingerings" using fingers and fine powder ground from charcoal. Really amazing work! More here - Judith Braun.

LEGOS

Minimalistic Lego (which I believe started as pixel) art by Jung Von Matt. Very awesome idea! Can you guess who the characters are?

PIXAR MINIMAL POSTERS

How could you not enjoy at least one of the films from this poster collection. Pixar is always producing masterpieces to help the young and old stay young. These minimalistic posters were created by Australia based Wonchan Lee. Enjoy!

AMSTERDAM DRAWING

I will forever admire the architecture around The Netherlands. Some of the building tops in Amsterdam. Done with Faber-Castell artist pen (brush style marker) and 3 tones of gray Prismacolor markers.

ANDY GILMORE






From the site theghostlystore:

"A master of color and geometric composition, Andy Gilmore's work is often characterized as kaleidoscopic and hypnotic, though it could just as well be described as visually acoustic, his often complex arrangements referencing the scales and melodies in music."

Well said... I could really look at these and plenty of his other works for days!

PRAGUE SKETCH

Finally sat down to do a little sketching. Borrowed the reference photo from Erin's collection. Fine tip sharpie on paper.

BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA





Very very impressive print campaign for the BPO! I am pretty sure macro photography will always impress me. Props to German photographer Bjoern Ewers for his great art directing skills.

Anyone in or near Germany want to try and get me one?! : )

DICK BRUNA


During my recent - AMAZING - trip to Holland, Erin and I were checking out a bookstore off the main shopping street in Amsterdam. Right by the front door is a rack full of these wonderfully illustrated post cards by Dutch local Dick Bruna. Later with more exploring of the city and being pointed out by Erin his "main" character Mitty (white rabbit) was rather famous. Then again how could it not be with his enjoyable simple and colorful style!
