Ziemowit Maj sent me word of his unusual illustration work that you can see via his Flickr-folio. Some of it is pretty safe but I lean towards the weirder images like the one above.

Tanya Johnston has created her own unique brand of geometric-inspired psuedo-science surrealism. There is a contemplative quiet about her imagery too that is very attractive. She falls under one of those hard-to-define categories of part art, part graphic design and part digital illustration.

A new Depthcore pack is out (XXXVIII. Freestyle IV). The work I am digging the most this time is definitely the drawings and a few of the photography pieces. I am always a fan of Chris Haines 3D work though (above).

Midwestern (yeah Midwest represent!) illustrator Micah Lidberg has updated with a new website and a few new pieces of work. From those I have spoken with, all I hear is how nice of a guy he is and how hard he works at what he does. I was told that he actually creates some of his illustrations at a very large scale and then shrinks them down to maintain all of the detail. I am not sure if that is exactly how he generates some of his detail-rich imagery, but nonetheless it is a party for the eyes.

I was given a signed print of his work from Hugo & Marie, and it is one of my favorite art prints. The colors in the print are gorgeous. It’s a shame we spend so much time looking at design and illustration online when in order to truly understand and feel it you really need to see it in print. The same can definitely be said for Micah’s work. When you do see his illustrations in print, they are much much more striking.

I have posted the GDI’09 website before but ran across this poster at Dropular today and had to repost the GDI website. The site was created to showcase the work of 2009 graduates of BA(Hons) Graphic Design & BA(Hons) Illustration at the University of Brighton. There is just some stellar work in the student portfolios. Really inspirational.
