Did you see the Poulpe Pulp website? It’s full of vintage octopus goodness. And everyone loves a bit of tentacle from time to time uh?

Covers by John Paul Thurlow

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!

Creative challenge : speed photoshopping.

Posted November 2nd, 2009 in Graphic Design & trends, Illustration, Just for fun by Zélia

As part of my creative challenge, here is a small exercise : Why would I come across in 10mn?
Just as if it as speed painting, this is speed photoshopping. Set a time, create, and don’t touch it again.

I needed a new wallpaper anyway :)

What do you achieve in 10 mn of time? Please share !
