I juste stumbled upon M.JPT’s work, and all I can say is: awesome.

In his own words:
“This is an hommage (six months in), an attempt to create cover art for every great magazine I own (+ a few I wish I owned). It’s never a straight crib and it’s not about perfection, the source magazines are simply a playground for my imagination…

Covering covers lets me combine some of my favourite things; portraiture, pencil sketching, typography, graphic design, and ideas – there’s usually one in there somewhere.

The occasional photos illustrate the Covers process: I draw A3 & A4 sections which I sometimes collage or retouch in Photoshop.”

A sure way to be creative and demonstrate high skills both in drawing and composition. If you wanna see more go to his Flickr page or his blog. Enjoy!

It seems that there’ve been a lot of internet fuss about japanese artist Yayoi Kusama lately. Not that I’m fond of “trendy topics” (wait, yes, I am), but that’ okay because she’s just awesome.
Yayoi Kusama is the only ever living woman artist to have sold a piece of work for over $5,100,000 — making her a pioneer. She wears crazy stuff and makes strange installations, pretty worth seeing. Oh and she loves polka dots too.

I just saw those beautiful wood carvings on Beautiful Decay. This astonishing work is sure worth a look !
(Oh, and I moved out. I’ll post pics soon…)
