Strangely, I have missed this wonderful serie of medical woodblock prints over at Pink Tentacle. As much as I love Japanese art, I can’t get enough of casual graphic design like this – which turns out beautiful an intricate, and would be more appropriate framed on a wall than to cure a smallpox.Anyway, go and enjoy!

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!

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 !
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.
