Czech illustrator Lukas Brezak has some absolutely stunning and highly detailed yet fluidly artistic imagery in his Behance-folio. It’s a lot of work and it’s a lot of fun to look at.
“Jefta is a young 24-year passion for mixing photography, painting and digital arts.
His work is mainly based on the body that operates in different ways, including encrusting textures or image by dressing.”
Jefta’s photography borders on the surreal psychedelic and it all comes straight out of simple photographs of people. He has an interesting perspective. I’d watch his space for future photography work if I were you.
Salvatore Della’Quila has been busy this past year and updated his portfolio accordingly. I am impressed by the breadth of his ability and how he is able to crank out tight illustration work, slick and colorful vector art and bang out great motion boards. Good stuff. My Partner and Executive Creative Director dropped in on him in his studio during a visit to New York and proclaimed that not only is he talented, he’s a super cool dude. So there that is too.
This amazing laser-etched poster for the Coen Brothers version of the Movie ‘True Grit’ goes on sale tomorrow morning at a random time through Mondo. Only 33 will be released and if you have the hefty amount $450 bucks to let loose then it could be yours.
Burlesque of North America updated their website for the first time in a very very long time and it looks oh-so-nice. They are a Minneapolis-based silkscreen and poster design shop that has risen to the top by generating amazing work and bringing about some amazing artists like Aaron Horkey. It doesn’t get much better than Burlesque. Go there and spend some money.
The Bases Loaded Series is a set of hand-generated banners that explore the relationship between type and image. The designes themselves narrate milestones and key figures in America’s favorite Pastime, Baseball. All banners measure 26″x40″ and are screen printed onto wool felt with a 1″ felt border.
“This Short Film Animation Project has been created by students of The Animation School to gain vital work experience.” Well okay then. This is a pretty amazing piece for student work. It seems like there has been a lot of that going around lately. Stick around at the end to see the credits for all involved.
Were I to ever live in Spain, specifically the magnificent city of Barcelona I think Vasava would be one hell of a place to work. They are still cranking and there is yet more inspirational work recently posted to their ever stalwart portfolio.
Old Black is a music video for Egyptrixx created by DAT DAT DAT aka Andreas N. Fischer in who is a Berlin based motion designer and 3D animator.
‘Tyrsa‘ is Alexis Taieb. He is based in Paris, France and the way he exhibits his talents on his latest website says as much about the creative lifestyle as it does about his project work.
My Bloody Lad is the work of 4 ‘animateurs’, Cyrille Chauvin, Guillaume Dousse, Thibaud Petitpas and Pierre Rutz who are all students at l’Ecole des Gobelins. To see the full credit list please visit this link.
Tobias Stretch directed this trippy romp with special effects and costume development by Jenny Lee Maas and animatronics by Luna’s Puppets and Scott Gurten. Production was handled by Skin Flicks.

Killian Eng updates yet again with another delirious scroll down the rabbit hole of absolute psychedelic imagination. Wow is really the only word to apply if you are a fan of this kind of imagery and Eng just keeps churning this out like it’s easy. Amazing.
Motion Designer/Animator Ned Wenlock’s developed custom typography to narrate and guide the viewer through the music video for MGMT’s latest single ‘All We Ever Wanted Was Everything’. The song itself is a Bauhaus cover and comes from MGMT’s Late Night Tales album. As great as the song and the video is, I can tell you personally that the album is even better. It is by far my most favorite album this year and consists of artists covers curated by MGMT (both the artists and the songs). There are some absolutely fantastic songs on the album and as a whole it’s quite possibly the most consistent play from start to finish of any album I have purchased so far this year. What a dream project this must have been for Ned Wenlock who shares some insight into his process at Motionographer. I would give my right arm to animate a video for MGMT.
