Tomcat Brothers

Concept artist and digital painter Piotr Joblonski has officially blown my mind...and I'm not alone. The online response to the Tomcat Brothers has been nothing short of astounding...You'll see it's justified from the gorgeous images below.
The initial concept was the adventures of two small borther, wearing futuristic/steampunk space helmets who are accompanied by a giant feline friend., in the form of a huge cat mural. Not only is the idea something specail but the digital painting technique and mastery of light is simply exeptional....read no more and go drool!

Oh some of these panels are now available as prints, click here for more.

El Tatio Geyser Field

Interactive designer and visual artist Owen Perry (based in British Columbia) returned from a trip to the El Tatio heyser field with this collection of beautiful and surreal photographs. The colour, patttern and texture of the mineral formaitons is nothing short of breath taking and caputured perfectly by mr Perry. You can see more posted on Circa1982 by clicking  here.

Cyr-Wheel

Not the usual post theme here in terms of design, but if this isn't art and creativity I don't know what is!

Choreographed and interpret by Canadian cyr-wheel artiste Valerie Inertie, in collaboration with Stephan Braun, German composer and Cello player,the video is a truly inspirational piece of structure improvisation; a combination of two art forms coming together in awe inspiring beauty and harmony.

Windows of New York

 Here's a small peek at José Guíza’s illustration series entitled Windows of New York there must be nearly a mullion images created as part of this first-glass series; many i sill have to drool over...ok enough pane-ful puns.

 Seriously this is an impressive project and goes to show that there's beauty to be seen everywhere if you just remain open to it..the details and character of each window style is beautifully crafted, particularly the small details that help give indication to the background and upbringing of the inhabitant (or lack there-of).  If the eyes are the window to the soul, perhaps Guiza is proving that windows are the eyes and soul of the city.

Rype

Stumbled over this little gem lost in the chaotic labyrinth that is my bookmarks folder. Been meaning to post this for a while. There's not really a lot needing said about the following bit of branding by Ryan Putnam of Rype Arts, just have yourself a look or check out more on Dribbble.

  

Kroller-Muller Museum Branding

The Kröller-Müller Museum offers a unique experience of art, architecture and nature. Combining the second largest collection of Van Gogh painting in the world and the largest scuplture garden in Europe,  the museum wanted to reach a bigger and wider audience....in stepped Edenspiekermann, who developed a new brand identity that drew inspiration from themes in nature such as light, form and shadow. The visual language expresses the combination of interior and exterior space which is key to the museum.

The result is an iconic, flexible and colourful system, with strong typography that I have to say I pretty much fell in love with the moment I set eyes on it.
