Malaysia-based graphic design studio LIE (or Little Ideas Everyday), which has done a staggering amount of good work ranging from identity design to illustration, recently ran a project on their blog where whimsical visuals, such as a polaroid that spews colours and a suitcase opening up to reveal a sea of paper waves, come to [...]

With her minimalistic China vs Chinatown split-panel graphic series, New York-based art director Mengwen Xiang views Chinatown as a stereotype of China, and contrasts the two against each other. It’s brilliant, subtle, wicked and makes for a quick educational crash course about the world’s most populated country.

I accidentally stumbled across a Crappy blog, which comes with Crappy pictures. The blog and sketches are written and drawn by mother and wife, Amber Dusick. She illustrates parenting stories that draw on her experience of child tantrums, doctor’s visits and general daily family life. It’s honest, brilliantly bad (she swears) and quite touching. Parenting: [...]

Spencer Keeton Cunningham is a talented guy. I’m not sure if it’s his illustrations, murals or photography I like the best. Playing with the overly romanticized notion of North American Indian culture as a series of icons, sketches or markers, Cunningham is able to speak to the viewer through short, graphic strokes that hit hard.

Next time you open a can of coke and throw away the pop tops, spare a thought for Bryan Cunningham who collects hundreds of them to make these amazing pieces on canvas that are held on and stretched using them. You can see an inspiration drawn from his hometown of New Orleans as he uses [...]

Funny how we’ve seen a number of witty visuals by Malaysian illustrator and graphic designer ilovedoodle or Lim Heng Swee everywhere — such as the one of the Lego block refusing to let go, the drum-beating heart, and the penguin changing into a can, to name a few — but never realized he was the [...]

I recently stumbled across the work of Riccardo Guasto. He is a talented artist from Italy who also goes by the pseudonym, RIK. His works seem inspired by modernist painters, an era in art which I love, hence my obsession. If I had the money, I would love to empty his online shop and plaster [...]

We see a lot of artists creating fan art these days, but the Latvian-based illustrator, Harijs Grundmanis, is killing it with his outstanding posters. Too bad you have to go to special screenings in Latvia to enjoy these illustrations.

What happens when you ask a fashion designer to create anything he wants for a mainstream brand? This guy is clearly not afraid of any legal actions. His designs take hints from pop culture and porn, bouncing from cool to disturbing – and sometimes just sexy.

While Liz Anelli’s illustrations have amused and delighted kids, they’ve also provided a useful public service. Making cartographers feel as creative as a block of discount cheddar, her hand-drawn street guides are both fun and practical. Let’s hope Google Maps commissions a re-design.
